USS Wainwright (DLG-28)

USS Wainwright (DLG-28), later reclassified as CG-28, was a Belknap-class guided missile cruiser commissioned by the United States Navy in 1966. Named in honor of three generations of the Wainwright family who served in the U.S. Navy, the ship played a significant role during the Vietnam War, providing naval gunfire support and serving as an escort for carrier strike groups. Throughout her service, Wainwright participated in numerous exercises and operations in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, demonstrating advanced air defense capabilities. The ship was decommissioned in 1993 and later scrapped, after nearly three decades of distinguished service.
