Talos against aircraft and radar targets in Vietnam

A brief comment turns Chicago from an ungainly conversion into a ship with a combat record. It credits the cruiser with at least one MiG kill using Talos and with employing the missile against North Vietnamese radar signals. The passage is too brief to specify dates, ranges, or exact engagements, but it shows why a conversion's value must be judged by the weapons it brought into service as well as its appearance. The example connects fleet air defence with the anti-radiation use of a long-range naval missile.
