Summary[edit]

Description
English: The U.S. Navy guided missile cruiser USS Oklahoma City (CLG-5) firing its 152 mm guns during a gunfire support mission off Vietnam, in 1965-1966.
In June 1965, Oklahoma City began gunfire support missions off Vietnam. When the level of hostilities increased, she began to spend more and more time in the South China Sea and eventually participated in operations "Piranha", "Double Eagle", "Deckhouse IV", and "Hastings II." After serving as 7th Fleet flagship for two and one-half years, Oklahoma City returned to San Francisco Naval Shipyard on 15 December 1966, for an overhaul.
