Title: USS Atlanta (IX-304)
Description: At the Hunters' Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco, California, circa October 1964, while completing conversion to a weapons effects test ship. The original picture caption, released by 12th Naval District Office of Public Information, reads: The two DLG (guided missile frigate) deck houses and masts on the cruiser hull are the most unique feature about Atlanta. Although both deck units are of the type in use today, and are of aluminum construction, the forward one is specifically designed for blast resistance.
