- 222 - Telescope A " Bill Hoey took these photos of the guided missile destroyer U.S.S. IAWRENCE (DDG 4) during her visit to Detroit this fall. IAWRENCE is named for the unfortunate but courageous captain of CHESAPEAKE, who lost his life and ship in encounter with the British SHANNON in 1813. His words, "Don't Give Up the Ship," inspired Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie the next year. The destroyer IAWRENCE was here on her first cruise, having been built at Camden, N. J. She is of the same class as U.S.S. HENRY B. WILSON and other guided missile destroyers built recently by Defoe at Bay City, and is 431 feet long, overall. GUIDED MISSILE DESTROYER U. S. S. LAWRENCE
