U.S.S. Lawrence The Navy Destroyer USS Lawrence berthed at the LILCO dock in Port Jefferson over the Independence Day weekend, at- tracting large crowds and spewing white-uniformed sailors onto the local streets and bars. The 437 foot long, 4,500 ton ship was commisioned in 1962 and was deployed in both the Cuban missile and Irnian hostage crisis. The Lawrence carries a large variety of instant death aboard, including 40 Tartar Surface-to-Air and Surface-to-Surface radar guided missiles, ASROC anti-submarine missiles, and two dual 5 inch cannons. It is due to be fitted for cruise missiles within a month, before being phased out in a couple of years for more modern ships.
