The U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer USS Tattnall (DDG-19) transiting the Suez Canal on 22 August 1990, while enroute to the Mediterranean Sea following deployment in support of "Operation Desert Shield".
Note that Tattnall was one of only three Charles F. Adams-class destroyers to receive the New Threat Upgrade (NTU). This consisted of a number of sensor, weapons and communications upgrades that were intended to extend the service lives of the ships. Under the NTU, these destroyers received improved electronic warfare capability through the installation of the AN/SLQ-32(V)2 EW Suite. The upgraded combat system includee the Mark 86 gun fire control system with AN/SPQ-9 radar and the AN/SPG-60 fire control radar (both visible above the bridge), Hughes AN/SPS-52C 3D radar, AN/SPG-51C (digital) fire control radars, and the Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS).
