Configuration MM Upgrade Sample

Gearing-Class DDR (1960s Conversions) We now have full color profiles for the thirty-six Gearing-class radar picket destroyers as outfitted during the 1950s. These include the original twenty-four WW II conversions and the twelve new conversions of the 1950s. There were two basic configurations for the 1950s DDR reconstruction programs. The original early 1950s configuration with three twin 5-in. gun mounts, three twin 3-in. gun mounts, tripod foremast with SPS-6 and SPS-10 radars, SPS-8 radar on an after deckhouse, and QHB sonar. The upgraded mid to late 1950s configuration with three twin 5-in. gun mounts, three twin 3-in. gun mounts, tripod foremast with SPS-6 and SPS-10 radars, SPS-8 radar on an after deckhouse, the addition of Tactical Air Navigation System (TACAN) on the after stack, and SQS-4 sonar. NOTE: the profile shown is for the original early 1950s configuration and the upgraded mid to late 1950s. Please specify the configuration you want.
