USS Farragut (DLG-6)

USS Farragut (DLG-6), later reclassified as DDG-37, was the lead ship of her class of guided missile destroyers in the United States Navy. Commissioned in 1960, she served as a key element of the Atlantic Fleet, participating in numerous exercises and deployments, including operations during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Farragut underwent several modernization overhauls to upgrade her missile and radar systems, ensuring her continued effectiveness in air defense roles. After more than two decades of service, she was decommissioned in 1989 and subsequently stricken from the Naval Vessel Register.
