Clemson Class Destroyer (1918): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:49, 29 April 2018

The Clemson class destroyers were ordered in massive numbers for the U.S. Navy to meet wartime needs for antisubmarine escorts, but only nine were launched and one were commissioned before the Armistice was signed. They differed from the previous Wickes class by having their range extended 35%, thanks to greater oil bunkerage on an increased displacement.

Armament

Main Battery

Most were fitted in the customary "flush decker" manner:

one 4-in/50cal gun forward
two 4-in/50cal guns on each side at the shoulder
one 4-in/50cal gun right aft

In Hatfield, Brooks, Gilmer, Fox and Kane, the guns were larger: 5-in/51cal. In Hovey and Long the mounts were twin-barrel Mark 44 4-in/50cal.

Other Guns

one 3-in/23cal A.A. gun on aft deckhouse (sometimes swapped with after 4-in gun)

Torpedoes

four triple torpedo tube mounts situated two to each side toward the aft

Depth Charges

This varied somewhat, but generally:

one-two depth charge racks aft
Y-gun projector forward of aft deck house

+==Design & Construction==
+==Performance==
+==Armament==
+===Main Battery===
+Most were fitted in the customary "flush decker" manner:
+* one 4-in/50cal gun forward
+* two 4-in/50cal guns on each side at the shoulder
+* one 4-in/50cal gun right aft
+In {{US-Hatfield}}, {{US-Brooks}}, {{US-Gilmer}}, {{US-Fox}} and {{US-Kane}}, the guns were larger:  5-in/51cal.  In {{US-Hovey}} and {{US-Long}} the mounts were twin-barrel Mark 44 4-in/50cal.
+===Other Guns===
+* one 3-in/23cal A.A. gun on aft deckhouse (sometimes swapped with after 4-in gun)
+===Torpedoes===
+* four triple torpedo tube mounts situated two to each side toward the aft
+===Depth Charges===
+This varied somewhat, but generally:
+* one-two depth charge racks aft
+* Y-gun projector forward of aft deck house
+==Fire Control==
