Changes

Following an overhaul at the [[Boston Naval Shipyard]] during the summer of 1952, she resumed duty out of Newport on 26 September. For almost 13-years, Beatty operated from the base at Newport alternating deployments to the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea with operations along the east coast of the [[United States]] and in the West Indies. During several of her tours of duty in the [[Mediterranean]], the destroyer was detached from the 6th Fleet for brief periods of service in the [[Indian Ocean]] with the Middle East Force. She also made cruises to northern European ports in 1954 and 1957 following [[NATO]] exercises in the Atlantic. She participated in type training, antisubmarine warfare (ASW), and fleet exercises during all of her assignments. Her operations out of Newport--punctuated by regular overhauls at various east coast naval shipyards--also included refresher training and summer training cruises for Naval Academy and NROTC midshipmen.

There were a number of highlights during that phase of her career. While conducting post-overhaul refresher training late in July 1959, she saved the abandoned motor vessel Nassau Relief from sinking off the coast of the Dominican Republic. Late in September and early in October 1959, Beatty provided services to the Fleet Sonar School at Key West, Fla. In January of 1960, she helped to track a high altitude research balloon during Operation "Skyhook." The destroyer spent two weeks in [[November]] of 1961 cruising off the coast of the Dominican Republic during a time of internal troubles for that nation. A year later in November 1962, Beatty took part in the quarantine of [[Cuba]] established to keep Russian offensive missiles from reaching that island. The last event of particular note in which she took part during this period came in May 1963 when the warship provided support for Project Mercury during Maj. S. Gordon Cooper's 22-orbit Faith 7 space flight.
