Bainbridge accomplished this circumnavigation without a single refueling or replenishment. This accomplishment showcased the capability of nuclear-powered surface ships and their ability to operate in remote areas of the world. Bainbridge took part in the first group of nuclear-powered ships to enter actual combat during her first Pacific Fleet deployment in December 1965, in the South China Sea off the coast of Vietnam, along with Enterprise. The ships engaged in air strikes on North Vietnam. QUINCY, Mass. (Oct. 6, 1962) – View of USS Bainbridge (DLGN 25) after Following her first “West Pac” cruise deck during her commissioning ceremony.

In Bainbridge’s first five years of service, she covered over 300,000 miles of ocean and, because of her endurance and speed, was awarded the nickname “Grey Ghost of the Orient.” In 1972, Bainbridge was awarded the Navy’s “Environmental Protection Award,” an award presented to commands annually for achievements in areas of environmental quality and cleanup, natural resources conservation, cultural resources management, pollution prevention, and recycling.

The Bainbridge received a call from the Kokuka Courageous crew advising that their ship was in distress approximately 30 nautical miles from Bainbridge’s location. All 21 crew members of the Kokuka Courageous had evacuated to a tug boat and were transferred to the Bainbridge. One of the Kokuka Courageous sailors suffered burns on his hands and was treated immediately by the Bainbridge medical team. Once safely aboard Bainbridge, the Kokuka Courageous crew received medical check-ups, showers and clean clothes along with food and any other attention they required. Bainbridge is underway as part of Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group's (ABECSG) deployment in support of maritime security cooperation efforts in U.S. 5th, 6th and 7th Fleet areas of operations.

Watts Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments March 2007 ABOUT THE CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND BUDGETARY ASSESSMENTS The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) is an independent, nonprofit, public policy research institute established to make clear the inextricable link between near-term and long- range military planning and defense investment strategies. CSBA is directed by Dr. Andrew F. Krepinevich and funded by foundations, corporations, government, and individual grants and contributions. This report is one in a series of CSBA analyses on the emerging military revolution. Previous reports in this series include The Military-Technical Revolution: A Preliminary Assessment (2002), Meeting the Anti-Access and Area-Denial Challenge (2003), and The Revolution in War (2004). The first of these, on the military-technical revolution, reproduces the 1992 Pentagon assessment that precipitated the 1990s debate in the United States and abroad over revolutions in military affairs. Many friends and professional colleagues, both within CSBA and outside the Center, have contributed to this report.

  • From Destroyer Leader to Cruiser… Compiled from Wikipedia Sources by C.M
    DLG/CG 26 - From Destroyer Leader to Cruiser… Compiled from Wikipedia sources by C.M. Reeves (Originally published in the 2014 USS Belknap Reunion brochure. It has been slightly updated.) The USS Belknap (DLG 26) was built as a Destroyer Leader. To understand that terminology, it is useful to consider some background on the destroyer navy, variously called “little boys,” “tin cans,” and “greyhounds.” Evolution of the Destroyer A Naval destroyer is a fast, maneuverable warship designed to escort larger vessels and defend them against attacks by submarines and smaller surface vessels such as torpedo boats. Development of the destroyer was related to emergence of the self-propelled torpedo in the 1860s. Initially launched from small surface vessels, the torpedo provided a means for a navy to destroy a superior enemy battle fleet. In response to this new threat, “torpedo boat destroyers” evolved to escort the battle fleet at sea. These escort vessels, soon to become known simply as destroyers, needed the same seaworthiness and endurance as the ships they protected. Destroyers gradually became more capable warships, including larger guns and torpedoes among their armaments. The first ships designated as torpedo boat destroyers (TBD) were two Daring-class ships commissioned by the British Royal Navy 1895. The first US destroyer was the USS Bainbridge (DD1), commissioned in 1903 with a crew of three officers and 72 enlisted men. DD1 was one of nine ships comprising the original Bainbridge class that served the nation through World War I and emergence of a new threat: the submarine. The need to attack submarines underwater led to rapid destroyer evolution during the war; they were quickly equipped with strengthened bows for ramming, listening devices for detecting, and depth charges for attacking the submerged targets.
