USS Jouett (CG-29)

USS Jouett (CG-29) was a Belknap-class guided missile cruiser commissioned into the United States Navy in December 1966. Originally designated as a destroyer leader (DLG-29), she was reclassified as a cruiser (CG-29) in 1975. Throughout her service, Jouett participated in numerous deployments to the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean, supporting operations during the Vietnam War and later Cold War missions. After nearly three decades of distinguished service, USS Jouett was decommissioned in January 1994 and subsequently sunk as a target during fleet training exercises in 2007.
