	134k	Official US Navy Photograph of USS Luce (DLG-7), undergoing AAW Modernization at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in 1970. Luce was decommissioned on 25 February 1970 for an extensive 15-month conversion as part of the Navy's Anti-Air Warfare Modernization Program. New radar and electronics were installed to replace less efficient units. The missile system was modified to permit the firing of two next generation missiles and to operate against sophisticated enemy countermeasures. The Naval Tactical Data System was also installed enabling Luce to exchange digital information by computer-to-computer radio links with similarly equipped ships and aircraft. She was then capable of making rapid and accurate identification, as well as precise control of weapons.		Robert M. Cieri

	98k	Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, August 31 2002, due to her location between the USS MacDonough (DDG-39) on her port side, and the USS Farragut (DDG-37) on her starboard side these were the best photos possible. Although she's been at the Naval Inactive Ships Maintenance Facility (NISMF) since 1991 with almost no upkeep (other than to keep her trimmed and afloat) the Luce is in remarkable condition. She's missing all her search radars, whip antennas, EW antennas (AN/SLQ-32), and the AN/SPG-55B radomes have been smashed to demilitarize her. It was difficult to see from her location, but it also appears that the 5" gun mount has been removed as well. (Roy also added a photo of the Charles F. Adams (DDG-2) for comparison)		Roy J. Brooks
