USS Long Beach as Commissioned
USS Long Beach as finished originally lacked the SPS-33 Height-Finder radar sets (The vertical rectangles) and had more numerous radio antennaes (two tilted ones) but also lacked the Talos Reload mechanism which was originally intended for underway replenishment of the Talos missiles, though it did not worked as well as was hoped and later in the late 1970's it got removed.You can also see the lack of Guns which were only installed in mid-late 1972 or early 1973.
