Found this gem on youtube: https://youtu.be/feJPUapR5jk In 1957, seventeen navies from around the world joined the United States Atlantic Fleet for the International Naval Review held at Norfolk, Virginia. Some of the participants included the Ark Royal, the largest aircraft carrier in British service, and the French cruiser DeGrasse. American ships present included: USS Saratoga (CVA-60), USS Iowa (BB-61), USS Canberra (CAG-2), USS Macon (CA-132), USS Albany (CA-123), USS Northampton (CLC-1), USS Norfolk (DL-1), USS Forrest Royal (DD-872), USS Charles H. Roan (DD-853), USS Hyman (DD-732), USS Hunt (DD-674), USS Donner (LSD-20), USS Ray (SS-271) and USS Cavalla (SS-244). Some of the notables seen in the movie include Fleet Admiral William F. Halsey and Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson. |

Interesting to see the start of the transition from gun to missile. Everyone loves a sailor! |
