USS COCHRANE DDG-21 COLLECTOR PIN
RARE 1 3/4" COLLECTOR PIN & FEATURES A DEEP PIN BACKING
USS CHARLES F. ADAMS DDG-2, was the first guided missile destroyer built from the keel up by the U.S. Navy as a guided missile ship. This heralded a new age of U.S. Navy ships with advanced guided missile weapons systems. The USS CHARLES F. ADAMS revolutionized naval warfare from two aspects, anti-air warfare and anti-submarine warfare.  The ship‘s new Tartar surface-to-air guided missile system was designed to protect carrier task groups against attack by hostile aircraft.  As the Cold War progressed, the U.S. Navy became increasingly concerned regarding the threat posed by the massive numbers of Soviet bomber and cruise missiles that could be launched against our carrier task groups. The Tartar guided missile system in the ADAMS class DDGs provided the U. S. fleet the much needed protection from large scale Soviet bomber forces. Throughout the Cold War years of the 1960‘s through the 1980‘s, the ADAMS class DDGs were unsurpassed in their deterrent role, protecting U. S. fleets as they moved through the world‘s oceans. These very capable ADAMS class DDGs ships were soon to team with the new guided missile cruisers in a new Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) capability that could protect both the aircraft carrier and its escorts and replenishment ships. The Soviet submarine threat that included both attack submarines and fleet ballistic missile submarines was a threat to U.S. forces anywhere in the world. The ADAMS Class guided missile destroyers‘ new Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities included advanced sonar systems to detect hostile submarines, and the Anti-submarine Rocket (ASROC) fired from an 8 cell box launcher between the stacks on the 01 level amidships. The ASROC payload was either an acoustic torpedo (MK 44 or MK 46) or a nuclear depth bomb and could be delivered by the rocket towards a target at a range of five nautical miles.

A COMMENT FROM ONE OF OUR GREAT CUSTOMERS!
Rec'd the hat today...it's the best.  The bonus sticker was a real nice
touch.
I really like that you boxed the hat for shipping; I have rec'd
flattened ones from others...I've learned my lesson and I'll be back to shop
with you again.
I have left you positive feed back and would appreciate
the same.

The Adams was built at the Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine, and was the first in a line of 23 Ships.   She is named for Charles Francis Adams, Secretary of the Navy from 1929 to 1933.
