Spruance class Destroyer

Primary antisubmarine warfare escorts for more than 25 years, the Spruances replaced the large number of WWII era Allen M Sumner and Gearing class destroyers still in service. They were the first large US warships to use all gas turbine propulsion and a slightly lengthened version of the hull was also used for the AEGIS Ticonderoga class.
In late 1980s many replaced the Mk 16 ASROC launcher with a VLS (Vertical Launch System) capable of firing Tomahawk cruise missiles.
