High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The USS Talbot (FFG-4) was laid down on 4 May 1964 at Bath, Maine, by the Bath Iron Works Corp.; launched on 6 January 1966; sponsored by Miss Frances K. Talbot; and commissioned on 22 April 1967, Comdr. Edwin E. Woods, Jr., in command. The ship was named for US Navy Captain Silas Talbot. On 8 July, the new guided-missile escort ship departed Hampton Roads, Virginia, for Puerto Rico for shakedown and missile system trials. Talbot next headed north and arrived at her home port, Newport, Rhode Island, on 16 September. The ship conducted special operations off the Virginia Capes from 16 October to 18 November and then spent most of her time until the spring of 1968 undergoing post-shakedown availability. Following firing exercises at the Atlantic Fleet weapons range and antisubmarine operations late in April, the destroyer escort participated in the search for missing nuclear submarine USS Scorpion (SSN-589) in May. She devoted the rest of the year to operations along the Atlantic coast and in the Caribbean.
