	Destroyer History — Introduction
		Fourth-generation destroyer USS Buchanan, DD 484, in 1942.
		State-of-the-art destroyers as World War Two began were the Japanese “special type.” The first of these were the Fubuki class; with heavy gun and torpedo armament, enclosed double turrets and a low silhouette, their design became the prototype for all subsequent Japanese destroyer construction.
		Destroyer construction resumed in 1932, Over the next seven years, the US built several third-generation destroyer classes, collectively the “1500-tonners,” all of which featured this new 5-inch gun on a 340-to-350-foot high-forecastle hull that could exceed 35 knots.

	Destroyers OnLine - The Gearing ( DD ) Class
		The pre-eminent destroyer to emerge from World War II - the Gearing class - with the help of the Fleet Rehabilitation And Modernization program (FRAM I) - survived for over three decades as a useful arm of the fleet.
		One Gearing class destroyer, the USS Gurke was still serving as an active ship fifty years after commissioning - as the Greek destroyer Tombazis.
		The Gearing class was essentially the same in design as the Sumner but with an extra 14 feet of length to accomodate additional fuel and AA armament.

		The Lightning class space torpedo destroyer was the counterpart to the Mogami class cruiser and the primary Earth Destroyer prior to the implementation of Wave Motion propulsion to EDF ship design.
		A counterpart and contemporary to the Gearing class destroyer.
		Almost equal to a Gearing class destroyer the main advantage would have been the cost savings of not having to put a trained crew on a very expendable fleet asset.

	Gearing Class
		With the DD 692 SUMNER class continuing to be overloaded with anti-aircraft capabilities to protect the carrier forces, the resulting effect was a lack of speed and required range.
		Of the 98 commissioned GEARING class destroyers, 47 retained their DD classification prior to FRAM with three being disqualified due to having been modified for improved steam machinery testing (TIMMERMAN), advances in missile technologies (GYATT) and testing of an advanced propulsion system (WITEK).
		Herein is the listing of ALL non-converted 44 GEARING Class destroyers (DD) existing as of 1960; those ships that received either the GROUP A or B variation of FRAM MK I are noted as such.

	Gearing Class Destroyer Model - Custom Mahogany Ship Model
		In 1945, in anticipation of the invasion of Japan, 24 Gearings began conversion as radar picket ships (designated DDR in 1949) that could provide early warning of massed attack without overwhelming their Combat Information Centers.
		Thanks in part to the 1–2-month post-commissioning delay in converting these early Gearings, they did not begin arriving in the war zone until late June, joining fast carrier task forces only in time for screening and plane-guard duty during the final air raids of the war.
		Together, the Gearings with surviving Sumners and some Fletchers continued in US Navy service alongside the Forrest Sherman and other later classes until retired when larger Spruance-class ships began commissioning in the 1970s.

	USS Orleck \| History
		The need for ships of her kind, (Gearing Class Destroyers), grew out of the fast changing nature of modern sea warfare.
		She was designed to operate with a battle fleet as carrier escort and front line defense against like enemy vessels so she needed to have destructive capabilities, but as a carrier escort she also had to be fast.
		What is important to understand is that the ORLECK did go through an evolutionary process that included FRAMing and other modifications and such changes ultimately made her a ship that had the equipment and ability to deal with changing war tactics that required not only anti-aircraft capability but anti-submarine and surface warfare capability as well.

		[4] Destroyers did not have the glamour of a battleship or an aircraft carrier, but without them the aircraft carrier and battleship would be helpless against enemy submarines.
		Although none of the Gearing class was built in tine to see much World War II service the class represented the ultimate stage in World War II destroyer design.

	All Wood Wings: DD-710 Gearing Class Destroyers, DD-710 USS Gearing - quality ship models crafted from wood
		FRAM was not a simple process as it involved reconstruction of three different classes of destroyers, three different classes of Destroyer Escorts, and the Destroyer Tenders that would keep those destroyers and destroyer escorts armed and supplied.
		Occurring in the late-1950s to mid-1960s, the rebuilding of the ships was not only different per class of ships, but the installation (known as FRAM 1) or just a modernization of the ship (known as FRAM 2) could be different within a specific class as well.
		FRAM 1: Developed primarily for the Gearing class, it was a complete reconstruction of the ship that extended the life of a destroyer by 8 years and was much more than FRAM 2.

	Virtual Globetrotting: Spruance class destroyer
		The Spruance-class destroyer was developed to replace a large number of World War II-built Allen M. Sumner- and Gearing-class destroyers, and was the primary destroyer built for the U.S. Navy during the 1970s.
		Despite their "DD" designation indicating gun destroyers, their primary armament was the missiles they carried, and they should properly have been designated DDG under the US Navy's hull classification symbol system.
		Ironically enough, the DDG-1000 Zumwalt class destroyers are to be built around the 6.1" advanced gun system and thus properly deserving of the unmodified DD hull classification symbol.

	Ship Types
		There were three main destroyer types that received the Navy's Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization (FRAM) reconstruction: FLETCHER, SUMNER and the GEARING class series of destroyers.
		These floating workshops were massive: While a GEARING destroyer would have a crew complement of slightly over 300, a typical tender had over 3000 crew to man a ship some 5 times the size of a destroyer.
		With the U.S. Navy stretched thin in the far east during the 60's and with the height of the cold war, it became clear that the Japanese Navy needed to expand its then-role of a simple coastal patrol force to that of being able to protect its own sea-lanes from Submarines.

		Some 45 ships of the class were completed early enough to see service in the Pacific, and a total of 93 units were commissioned.
		The success of the class made it one of the longest serving classes of destroyers in the world - some of the ships still being in active service with various navies around the world until well into the 1980's.
