USS LANG (FF-1060)
The second Lang (DE-1060) was laid down
by Todd Shipyards Corp., San Pedro, Calif., 25 March 1967; launched 17 February
1968; sponsored by Mrs. Ephraim P. Holmes, wife of Admiral Holmes, Commander in
Chief, Atlantic Fleet, and Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic Fleet; and is
scheduled for completion in late 1969.
Once commissioned, Lang will join the
Pacific Fleet in exercises and training along the west coast and in the waters
of troubled Southeast Asia. With many traits of the swift and deadly destroyer,
the escort ship is valuable not only in antisubmarine and amphibious warfare
maneuvers but also in search, patrol, rescue, evacuation, blockade, and
surveillance operations.
