Spruance class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (551 words)
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.
The class was designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) with point defense AAW missiles; upgrades provided anti-ship and land attack capabilities.
The entire class of 30 ships was contracted on June 23, 1970 to the Litton-Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi, under the Total Package Procurement concept forced on the Navy by the Whiz Kids of Robert McNamara's Pentagon.
