**USS Dahlgren (DLG-12/CG-12) Military History:** The USS Dahlgren (DLG-12/CG-12) was a Leahy-class guided missile cruiser commissioned by the United States Navy in 1961. Named after Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren, the ship was originally designated as a "destroyer leader" (DLG) but was reclassified as a cruiser (CG-12) in 1975. Throughout her service, Dahlgren participated in numerous Cold War operations, NATO exercises, and Mediterranean deployments, showcasing advanced anti-air and anti-submarine warfare capabilities. After over two decades of service, she was decommissioned in 1992 and later scrapped, marking the end of her distinguished naval career.
