Hi Lakesrider,
During the Hazelwood's rebuild ( prier ) to being recommissioned in 1951, the big turret guns were removed and replaced with missal silos and fitted with the flight deck. My brother was stationed aboard in 1958 and everything you see in the 1960 photo was in place.
I don't get what the "Mid Sixties" has to do with the USS Hazelwood DD 531...
