gearing class destroyer

The Gearing class of destroyers originated near the end of World War II when the United States Navy required more range (fuel) and anti-aircraft capabilities from its Allen M. Sumner class destroyers. It managed that by adding 14 ft (4 m) to the length in the midsection. The first of these modified Sumner-class destroyers was Gearing (DD-710). In the late 1950s many of these Gearing class destroyers underwent extensive modernization overhauls, known as FRAM I, which was designed to shift them from more of an AA platform to an ASW platform.
