	J, K and N class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The N class were ordered in 1940 as repeats of the J design, after delays and cost over-runs associated with the larger and more complicated L and M class.
		While building, the same early wartime modifications as the Js and Ks were applied, with a pair of twin power-operated 0.5 in machine gun turrets briefly carried on the quarterdeck before being replaced by single 20 mm Oerlikons.
		By the end of the war, the surviving J and K ships carried a lattice mast with Radar Type 293 target indication at the truck and Type 291 air warning at the head.

	Robert K
		In April the destroyer was transferred to the Atlantic Fleet where she was assigned to a carrier task force, then undergoing extensive antisubmarine warfare training.
		In the spring she returned to Norfolk and for the next 2 years she alternated cold weather operations with Caribbean cruises; then from the spring of 1953 until the summer of 1955 rotated between duty in the Mediterranean and exercises with the 2d Fleet off the U.S. east coast and in the Caribbean.
		Emerging from the shipyard, the "new" destroyer steamed to her new home port, Mayport, and through 1961 operated off the U.S. east coast and in the Caribbean.

	World War II Online HQ
		The next class of destroyers were a repeat of the 'J' Class, The eight 'K' Class, of which the Kelly would in due course become the most famous.
		The destroyers which resulted were among the most handsome ever built, with large gunhouses, however the gun-mounting and its fire-control were not entirely successful.
		Destroyers saw much patrol work in the early months of the war, however their first taste of real action was in the Norwegian campaign in the spring of 1940, when the Home Fleet covered first the Anglo-French force's landing, and then its withdrawal.

	Class History
		Even as the first true " fleet destroyers" of the new Fletcher-class were shaping in shipyards in the summer of 1941, the Navy expressed the need for a still larger destroyer better able to execute the multipurpose role fast coming into focus in envisioned Pacific operations.
		The advantages of placing four centerline guns in twin Mounts forward of the bridge was readily seen as a major consideration for destroyers intended to be better able to support a torpedo attack with most of its offensive weaponry blazing ahead as opposed to abeam of the assault.
		Complaints soon were whispered that the long-awaited vessels had a tendency for their bows to dish or weave in heavy seas owing to the tremendous weight of the four 5-inch guns so far forward on the slim hull.

	DD-692 Allen M. Sumner class
		The hull design followed the Fletcher class, although some designs were beamier and all were heavier, and there was a wide variety of small AA and torpedo armament.
		However, claims by both Bureaus and several of the fleet's officers that the reduced torpedo armament was borne out by the developments of the war in Europe, where destroyer torpedo attacks had not taking place in any significant numbers, were rejected by the General Board in December 1941 letter calling for ten torpedo tubes.
		In June 1944, twelve ships of the class were converted to minelayers, sacrificing their torpedo tubes and three 20mm guns in favor of 120 mines.

		Destroyers primarily perform anti-submarine warfare duty while guided missile destroyers are multi-mission (ASW, anti-air and anti-surface warfare) surface combatants.
		The Spruance-class destroyers, the first large U.S. Navy warships to employ gas turbine engines as their main propulsion system, are undergoing extensive modernizing.
		Spruance-class destroyers are expected to remain a major part of the Navy's surface combatant force into the 21st century.

	Frank Knox Class
		With the resulting success of this radar picket destroyer type which saw action at Okinawa, the Navy ordered another twelve GEARINGS be converted in FY 1952 for the task force's protection against the new threat of high speed jet aircraft attack.
		FRAM-I required the destroyer to lose one of it's aft twin 5-inch gun mounts for the DASH landing pad and included the rebuilding of the superstructure, installation of the DASH hangar, rehabilitation of the engines and electronics.
		U.S.S. class destroyer, she displaced 3460 tons when full, was 390 feet 6 inches long, had 60,000 SHP, General Electric Geared Turbines powering 2 screws to a maximum speed of 36.8 knots.

		The J, K and N Class ships were developed as a result of the Admiralty under pressure to cut costs but requiring more new and powerful destroyers.
		Several ships owed this method of construction to their survival, HMS Javelin was mined and reduced to less than half her original length, but she was towed in and repaired.
		Many of the J and K Classes served and were lost in the Mediterranean they participated in many successful engagements, accounting for Italian cruisers, destroyers and many merchant ships.

	Hull Class Designation
		Ships can be named anything, but the hull designation is a handy way of classifying the size of a ship and its armament.
		For example, a class "A" ship would be much smaller and less heavily armed than a class "F" ship.
		For example, the GM could decide that Ship Handling(1) is sufficient for a class "A" or "B" ship, but may require more slots for managing a "G" or "H" ship.

	DD-445 Fletcher class
		Although Treaty limitations had not applied during the construction of the Sims and Benson classes, the necessity of producing a large number of destroyer had effectively precluded the design of a ship that was not directly based on its predecessors.
		It was in the fall of 1939 that the General Board set to work on the design of a new class of destroyers.
		It was, however, pointed out that given the fiscal situation of the day, it might be advisable to procure the best destroyer possible without regard for cost (which Congress was quite ready to disregard as well), and to resort to smaller, cheaper ships when the time came in which Congress would not be as supportive.

	Gearing-class destroyers in World War II
		Gearing-class destroyers in World War II The final US destroyer design of World War II—the ultimate development of the Fletcher concept—was the Gearing class.
		As with the Fletchers, the Allen M. Sumner class was satisfactory in most respects, but not all.
		In the case of the Sumners, the shortcoming was in endurance and the solution was simple: lengthen the hull by 14 feet to increase fuel bunkerage.

	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).
		Reclassified as AG 152 in 1954, she was decommissioned on 27 July 1956 and stricken 4 April 1958 and sold for scrap.

	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.
