		The Wickes class was a Caldwell with a larger power plant, capable of 35 rather than 30 knots but carrying the same armament of four four-inch guns and twelve torpedo tubes, and with a very similar outward appearance.
		Destroyers had turned out to be uniquely useful in combating enemy submarines; not surprising given that submarines of the era were essentially torpedo boats that could briefly submerge.
		Of the fleet destroyers, fifty were transferred to the Royal Navy in September 1940 for conversion to long-range escorts.

	USS San Juan - Specifications
		This class was developed to satisfy the need for a light displacement, high speed vessel whose mission was primarily combating large scale attack by aircraft, but which also possessed the ability to perform certain types of cruiser duty.
		Their initial purpose, contrary to popular belief, was not only that of an anti-aircraft cruiser but that of a small, fast scout cruiser that could operate in conjunction with destroyers on the fringes of the battle line in addition to the defense of the battle line against destroyer and aircraft attack.
		Three follow-on ships (Juneau Class) were commissioned in 1946 and were distinguished from the Atlanta Class by a reduction of the superstructure height by one level, a reduction in the distance between the stacks, and a substantial increase in the antiaircraft batteries.

		The Farragut class was the first of the post-WWI destroyer designs commissioned for the U.S. Navy and served as the prototypes for all subsequent U.S. destroyers until the Fletcher class appeared.
		Built to the London treaty limitations of 1500 tons for destroyers, the Farraguts were considered rather flimsy, hence the up-sizing of later classes.

	USA 5"/38 (12.7 cm) Mark 12
		Originally designed to arm new destroyers being built in the 1930s, the 5"/38 (12.7 cm) wound up being used on nearly every major US warship built between 1934 and 1945 and was still being used on new construction as late as the 1960s.
		There were some teething troubles when this gun was introduced in 1934, but a BuOrd report of 1945 states that during World War II they were considered to be highly reliable, robust and accurate, a reputation they retained even after the end of the war when the 5"/54 (12.7 cm) series of weapons were introduced.
		Most of these destroyers lost their mount No. 3 as weight compensation for growth in other areas and those destroyers modernized during World War II had all of their SP mountings replaced with two twin and one single DP mountings.

		The COONTZ class ships were so much larger and more powerful than any previous American destroyer that the ship-type name frigate was reactivated to describe them.
		MACDONOUGH was a guided missile destroyer with her primary mission being fleet air defense, but a destroyer is by design a jack-of-all-trades, so in addition to her deady Standard 2 surface to air missiles MACDONOUGH carried a wide array of weapons to engage surface and subsurface targets as well.
