Based on the successful
Fletcher Class
destroyer that preceded it, the Allen M. Sumner Class destroyers were larger
and more heavily armed - especially for anti-aircraft defense. The US Navy
commissioned 58 of these ships (plus another 12 that were made into mine
layers) in 1944 - 1945.
In the late 50s to early 60s, thirty-three Allen Sumner
Class destroyers received numerous modifications under the Fleet Rehabilitation
and Modernization (FRAM) program which gave the ships enhanced ASW capabilities
and extended their working lifespan approximately 5 years. The FRAM 2 suite
included SQS-4 sonar, SQS-9 variable depth sonar and the DASH (Drone Anti
Submarine Helicopter) system. Improved surface and air search radars, electronic
counter measures equipment, hedgehog launchers, new torpedoes and torpedo
launching systems were also added.
Many Sumner Class ships survived until the early 1970s
when they were sold off to various allied navies. Today they are still operated
by Brazil (4), Greece (1), Iran (2), Korea (2), Taiwan (2) and Turkey (1).
