Description:
The Gearing class is a group of 98 destroyers built for the U.S. Navy during and shortly after World War II. The Gearing class was a seemingly minor improvement of the previous Allen M. Sumner class, which were built from 1943 until 1945. The main difference was that the Gearings were 14 feet (4.3 m) longer in the midship section, allowing for increased fuel tankage for greater range, an important consideration in Pacific War operations. As designed, the Gearings' armament was identical to that on the Allen M. Sumner class. Three twin 5-inch (127 mm)/38 caliber Mark 38 dual purpose (DP) mounts constituted the main battery. Twelve 40 mm guns in two quad and two twin mounts and 11 20 mm guns in single mounts were also equipped for anti-aircraft defense.
