The U.S. Navy guided missile cruiser USS <i>Gridley</i> (CG-21) launches a RUR-5A ASROC missile near Coronado Island, California (USA), circa in the early 1980s.<br>
Note: The date given, 14 September 1990, has to be incorrect, as <i>Gridley</i> is still fitted with AN/SPS-37 radar aft and neither AN/SPS-49 radar, nor <i>Harpoon</i> lauchers or <i>Phalanx</i> CIWS have been fittet. The 76 mm twin mounts, however, have already been removed. Also, the ship was in overhaul from February 1990 until March 1991.
