Submitted Photo by Clay Farrington. The 5-inch gun turrets ahead of and on either side of the bridge remained for the cruiser's service life, yet most of the 20mm antiaircraft guns mounted around the decks were removed during the first decade after commissioning. The superstructure aft of the bridge of Newport News was expanded for flag staff and communications spaces between 1961 and 1962. (US Navy Photo by Clay Farrington/Released).
