GEARING CLASS DESTROYERS
The Gearing class was a
group of 98 destroyers built for the US Navy during
and shortly after World War II. The
first Gearings
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 were sold to other nations, where they served many
more years.
Four Gearing-class ships still exist, as museum
ships: USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (DD-850), USS Orleck (DD-886), the Turkish ship TCG Gayret (D-352)
formerly USS Eversole (DD-789), the Mexican ship ARM
Netzahualcóyotl (D-102) formerly USS Steinaker
((DD-863).
