USS Salem was built at Bethlehem Steel in Quincy and served in the US Navy from 14 May 1949 to 30 January 1959. For much of that time she served as the flagship of the US 6th Fleet, and made port visits all around the Mediterranean. She made a total of seven deployments to the Mediterranean as the flagship of the 6th Fleet, alternating with the Des Moines and Newport News. In 1959 she joined the reserve fleet and remained in the mothball fleet until 1994. She’s now the centerpiece of the United States Naval Shipbuilding Museum.
