The initial design retained the Sumners' heavy torpedo armament of 10 21" (533mm) tubes in two quintuple mounts, firing the Mark 15 torpedo. 1951 BuShips DD-692 Class Shipyard Plans for a Gearing-Class Destroyer, 1945 Complete set of nine whiteprint/blueline shipyard plans for the deck and compartment layout of a Gearing-class destroyer, "DD-692 Long Hulls" (a longer-hulled version of the Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer), early 1945, prepared by Todd Pacific Shipyards, Inc, Seattle, titled "Long Hulls DD 692 Compartment Sketch for Hulls DD 782 to 791 inc . The hull was lengthened 14ft (4.3m) amidships, creating more storage space for fuel, thus giving the ships a larger range than the Sumners. Sponsored by Mrs. E. F. Kennedy, a descendant of Lt. O'Bannon, she was the second Fletcher-class destroyer built at Bath Iron Works, which eventually completed 31 of them before changing over production to Allen M. Sumner- and Gearing-class ships. DD-862 to DD-872 awarded to Bethlehem Steel, Staten Island. if(MSFPhover) { MSFPnav5n=MSFPpreload("_derived/carpenter_class.htm_cmp_clearday110_hbtn.gif"); MSFPnav5h=MSFPpreload("_derived/carpenter_class.htm_cmp_clearday110_hbtn_a.gif"); } DD-815 would have been named. provides two twin 5"/38 dual-purpose gun mounts (one forward and one atop The four DDRs converted to DDs were armed with two new 21-inch torpedo tubes for the Mk.

The 40 mm and 20 mm guns were replaced by 2-6 3"/50 caliber guns (up to 2 x 2, 2 x 1). More importantly in the long run, the Gearings' increased size made them much more suitable for upgrades than the Sumners, as seen in the wartime radar picket subclass, the 1950s radar picket destroyer (DDR) and escort destroyer (DDE) conversions, and the Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization (FRAM) conversions 1960-65. & Compartment & Access - Inboard Profile, 1947 DD-692 Class Long To set this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: |state=collapsed: { {Gearing class destroyer|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar. (later cancelled), DD-905 to DD-908 awarded to Boston Navy Yard. Importantly, it did not include ASROC. Three (Pringle, Stevens and Halford) were built with aircraft catapults after deletion of the rear torpedo tube mount and the number 3 5-inch gun mount. (Resolution 3663x1671 File Size 1.7 MB), Superstructure, Main Deck and 26 ships (DD-742-745, 805-808, 829-835, and 873-883) were ordered without torpedo tubes to allow for radar picket equipment; these were redesignated as DDRs in 1948. Photographs of the six retained DDRs show no markings on the DASH landing deck, as well as a much smaller deckhouse than was usually provided for DASH, so they may not have been equipped with DASH.

Sumner class, whereby the hull was lengthened by 14 ft (4.3 m) at amidships, which resulted in more fuel storage space and increased the operating range. (later cancelled). [11] However, DASH proved unreliable in shipboard service, with over half of the USN's 746 drones lost at sea. FRAM II ships included six DDRs and six DDEs that retained their specialized equipment (19601961), as well as four DDRs that were converted to DDs and were nearly identical to the Allen M. Sumner class FRAM IIs (19621963). The Grebe was part of the Kingfisher family of guided anti-ship/anti-submarine weapons, which was developed under the prime contract of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). With ASROC continuing to provide a standoff ASW capability, the Gearings were retained in service for several years, with most being decommissioned and transferred to foreign navies 1973-80. After the Earth-Garmillias war, Terran fleet ship designers were quick to notice the effectiveness of the Isokaze class, their missles (sic) in particular. Shipyard Overhaul Plans, Plans // -->
