A marvelous portrait taken from the carrier HMAS Melbourne during
Exercise KANGAROO II, 10-28 October 1979, which involved seven USN vessel
and twenty RAN and New Zealand ships. USS Chicago (CG 11) joined
on 15 October after memorial services were conducted in the vicinity
of the Solomons for her predecessor USS Chicago (CA 29), and
for HMAS Canberra [I] lost off Savo Island in August 1942. In
the photo, Chicago is preparing to undertake replenishment at
sea from HMAS Melbourne. What a sight alongside she would have
been,
She proceeded to Sydney for a week immediately after KANGAROO II, and
subsequently arrived back in San Diego via Subic Bay and Pearl Harbor
on 17 December to begin preparations for her de-commissioning.
