== Decommissioning == Redesignated '''CCβ1''' on 15 April 1961, ''Northampton'' remained in the western [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] until decommissioning in February 1970. Her cruises ranged from [[Canada|Canadian]] to [[Panama]]nian waters as she extensively tested and evaluated new communications equipment and played host to visiting national and international dignitaries, including Presidents [[John F. Kennedy]] and [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]. The ship was eventually withdrawn from service, and was stricken from the [[Naval Vessel Register]] on 31 December 1977 during the [[Carter Administration]]. The ship's bell is preserved at the war memorial in front of Memorial Hall, in the ship's namesake city of [[Northampton, Massachusetts]].
