| Notes |
Note-1: Charles F. Adams (DDG-2) and Farragut (DDG-37) Classes: Both the Charles F. Adams and Farragut guided missile destroyer classes were constructed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Despite periodic modernizations, both classes are nearing the end of their useful service lives and their retirement was planned beginning in the early 1990s. Modernization with the New Threat Upgrade (NTU) package was considered for these ships but has been terminated since modernization would not have been cost effective given the limited service lives remaining. As part of the 1989 Amended budget submission, the decision was made to accelerate the retirement of these ships to achieve complete retirement of both classes (except Mahan (DDG-42) which received NTU modernization in 1982 as a test package) by the end of FY 93. The highly capable, multi-mission, AEGIS equipped, Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class will eventually replace these ships. Note-2: Kidd (DDG-993) and Spruance (DD-963) Classes: The four Kidd class guided missile destroyers are similar to the Spruance class destroyers, but have greater displacement and improved combat systems. These ships were built originally for use by Imperial Government of Iran (when the Shah was in power) and were canceled by the succeeding Iranian government. The U.S. Navy acquired them in 1981 and 1982. Like the older guided missile cruisers, these ships will receive New Threat Upgrade to improve their anti-air warfare performance against the technologically advanced threat expected into the 21st century. The Spruance class destroyers, the first large U.S. Navy warships to employ gas turbine engines as their main propulsion system, are undergoing extensive modernizations. The upgrade program includes addition of vertical launchers for Tomahawk ASM/LAM and Vertical Launched ASROC (VLA) on 24 ships of this class, in addition to an advanced ASW system and upgrade to LAMPS III helicopter capability. Like the Kidd class, Spruance class destroyers are expected to remain a major part of the Navy's surface combatant force into the 21st century. Note-3: Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) Class: Technological advances have made possible great strides in the capability of modern destroyers culminating in the Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class. When Arleigh Burke is commissioned in early 1991, it will be the most powerful surface combatant ever put to sea. Like the larger Ticonderoga class cruisers, DDG-51's combat systems center around the AEGIS weapon system and the SPY-lD, multi-function phased array radar. Combining AEGIS, Vertical Launching System, an advanced ASW system, advanced AAW missiles and Tomahawk ASM/LAM, DDG-51 continues the revolution at sea. Designed from the keel up for survivability, DDG-51 incorporates all steel construction and many damage control features resulting from lessons learned during the Falkland Islands conflict and from the accidental attack on USS Stark. Like most modern U.S. surface combatants, DDG-51 will utilize gas turbine propulsion. These ships will replace older Charles F. Adams and Farragut class guided missile destroyers. The lead ship, Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) will be launched in September 1989 and is scheduled for commissioning in early 1991.

| Notes |
GLOVER was designed as an experimental ship to test
various shipboard systems. Glover held several different
classifications including: frigate research ship, escort research
ship and miscellaneous auxiliary before being designated frigate in
1979. At that time the ship was assigned the hull number of a
canceled Knox class frigate. The hull is similar to the retired
Garcia (FF-1040) class but carries some modifications including a
shrouded "pumpjet" propeller. Glover serves as an operational
frigate. GLOVER Class Ships (1) in service: USS Glover (FF-1098); Boston, Mass. |
