 USS Oklahoma City (CLG-5) Details

USS Oklahoma City (CLG-5) 		USS Oklahoma City (CLG 5)  was recommissioned in 1960. (Previously CL-91).
Here she served extensively in the Pacific where she was Seventh Fleet Flagship, playing a prominent role in the Vietnam War, including participation in the evacuation of Saigon. Oklahoma City was worked hard in shore bombardment duty during the war right until the end. In 1971 she fired the first successful combat surface-to-surface missile shot in US Navy history.  On 19 April 1972, the cruiser was attacked by one of two North Vietnamese Air Force MiG-17s; she only received light damage (lost control of air search radar).
She was decommissioned for the last time in December 1979. At the time of her decommissioning, she was the last Cleveland-class ship in service, and had served longer than any other ship of that class.
The Oklahoma City was sunk during a weapons training exercise, Tandem Thrust 99, 26 March 1999.
