GEARING CLASS
MODEL
The Gearing class
destroyer was a
group of 98 destroyers built for the US Navy during
and shortly after World War II. The
Gearing design was similar to the Sumner class but with
a longer hull length of 14 feet to allow for additional
fuel and other upgrades including AA armament. The
first Gearing
class models
were not ready for service until mid-1945 and thus saw
little service in World War II. They continued serving,
with a series of upgrades, until the 1970s. At that time
many
Gearing
class
were sold to other nations, where they served many
more years.
Four Gearing class
still exist as museum
ships: USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., USS Orleck, the Turkish ship TCG Gayret
formerly USS Eversole, the Mexican ship ARM Netzahualcóyotl formerly USS Steinaker.
