USS Gridley (CG-21) Framed Poster - Starboard (4)

USS Gridley (CG-21) was a Leahy-class guided-missile cruiser, commissioned in 1963 and named for Rear Admiral Charles Vernon Gridley — the man who received Commodore George Dewey's legendary command "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley" at the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898. Operating during the Cold War, Gridley served as a capable surface combatant in the Pacific Fleet, providing fleet air defense and escort capabilities over more than two decades of service. This framed poster honors her crew and the proud legacy of her service.
