Carpenter Class

The USS Carpenter became a class or sub-class of the Gearing Class ships. Does anyone have a good source on this?

Jrcrin001 (talk) 03:23, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changes from the Gearing class included the following modifications:

Serving as an interim substitute to the planned specialized “sub-killer cruisers” such as Norfolk (CLK-1), Carpenter’s modifications emphasized electronic equipment and antisubmarine warfare (ASW) weaponry over the standard destroyer antiaircraft and torpedo armament. Designed to counter Soviet high-speed snorkel-equipped diesel submarines similar to the German World War II-era Type XXIs, Carpenter was equipped with a trainable Hedgehog, two Weapon Alpha anti-submarine rocket launchers, anti-submarine torpedoes, and depth charges, in addition to torpedo countermeasure equipment, towed decoys and an improved sonar system.^[1]
