USS Newport News (CA-148)
Vietnam 1972 - 'Yankee Station'

The ship circled in this newspaper clipping is not the Newport News, it looks more like the USS Chicago (CG-11)

The ship pictured to the south-west (2 ships down) looks more the the USS Newport News (CA-148)

"Newport News led a flotilla to bombard Haiphong's approaches. The first time since WWII that 2 Cruisers had made such a strike."
