USS England (DLG:CG 22)

USS England (DLG/CG 22) was a Leahy-class guided missile cruiser commissioned into the United States Navy in 1963. Named in honor of Ensign John C. England, the ship was notable for its advanced radar and missile systems, playing a key role in air defense during the Cold War. USS England served extensively in the Pacific, including multiple deployments to the Vietnam War, where she provided naval gunfire support and participated in search and rescue operations. Reclassified from a destroyer leader (DLG) to a guided missile cruiser (CG) in 1975, the ship remained in service until her decommissioning in 1994.
