Groves was launched recently from Maine's Bath Iron Works before one of the largest crowds ever to attend such a ceremony in that state. The Groves was the 10th ship of the new guided- missile frigate class to be launched by BIW and, like the other FFGs delivered to the Navy by the Maine yard, is projected to be delivered ahead of schedule and under budg- et. The new ship was named in memory of Ensign Stephen W. Groves of East Millin- ocket, Maine, a Navy flyer who died pro- tecting U.S. carriers at the Battle of Mid- way during World War II. The Feeney- Groves American Legion Post of East Mil- linocket provided the color guard for the launching ceremony. The post was named in memory of the late ensign.
