Destroyer class of the US Navy
The Sims class''' destroyers were built for the United States Navy, and commissioned in 1939 and 1940. These twelve ships were the last United States destroyer class completed prior to the American entry into World War II. All Sims class ships saw action in World War II, and seven survived the war. No ship of this class saw service after 1946. They were built under the Second London Naval Treaty, in which the limit on destroyer standard displacement was lifted, but an overall limit remained. Thus, to maximize the number of destroyers and avoid developing an all new design, the Sims class were only 70 tons larger as designed than previous destroyers. They are usually grouped with the 1500 ton classes and were the sixth destroyer class since production resumed with the Farragut class in 1932. The class served extensively in World War II, and five of the class were lost in the war. Of the five ships lost, four were at the hands of the Japanese and one at the hands of the Germans. The class served on Neutrality Patrols in the Atlantic in 1940 41. Except for Roe, Wainwright, and Buck, the class was transferred to the Pacific shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. All of the ships saw extensive combat service. At the war's end in August 1945, three of the seven survivors were undergoing overhauls that were left unfinished, and were ultimately scrapped. The remaining four seaworthy ships were used as targets during the 1946 Operation Crossroads atomic tests at Bikini Atoll. One was sunk by the first blast, while the other three were sunk as targets two years later after serving as experimental platforms. Design
Compared with the s, the Sims class were increased 8 feet (2 m) in hull length, and started a trend of increased size that led to the numerous larger 2100 ton destroyer classes that marked wartime construction. The class was designed by Gibbs & Cox. They incorporated streamlining of the bridge structure and the forward part of the hull, in an attempt to increase speed and improve fuel economy. They also had an additional 5 inch gun, with the torpedo tubes re arranged so one less quadruple mount could be used while maintaining an eight tube broadside. When Anderson, first of the class to be delivered in early 1939, was found to be 150 tons overweight and dangerously top heavy due to insufficient metacentric height, it touched off a redesign and rebuilding of the class. One gun (No. 3) and one quad torpedo tube mount were removed, with another torpedo tube mount relocated to the centerline. Engineering
The Sims class nearly duplicated the advanced machinery of the preceding Benham class, they were the last built with the boiler rooms adjacent forward and the engine rooms adjacent aft and therefore the last one stack US destroyers. Steam pressure was (one reference says 565 psi), superheated to Features that improved fuel economy included boiler economizers, double reduction gearing, and cruising turbines. The main turbines developed on Sims trials and were manufactured by Westinghouse. Armament
The Sims class introduced the advanced Mark 37 Gun Fire Control System. With a turret mounted gun director as in previous systems, the Mark 37 system incorporated the Ford Mark 1 Fire Control Computer mounted in a plotting room deep in the hull, which enabled automatic aiming of guns against surface or air targets with firing solutions in near real time. The system would evolve and be used extensively to control most 5 inch guns on destroyers and larger ships, and remained in service on US ships until the 1970s. The class was completed with five 5 inch dual purpose guns (anti surface and anti aircraft (AA)); the two forward mounts and the aftermost mount were enclosed. The class proved to be top heavy, and a quadruple torpedo mount and one 5 inch gun (No. 3) were removed by 1941. Early units were completed with 12 torpedo tubes in three quad mounts, one mounted centerline, the others port and starboard, while later ships were completed (and all eventually modified) with eight in two quad mounts, all on the centerline. The Mark 15 torpedo was equipped. The 5 inch guns were removed some time after the torpedo tubes were removed in most cases. The as built light AA armament of four .50 caliber machine guns (12.7 mm), the same as previous 1500 ton classes, was inadequate. This was partially remedied by increasing the number of guns to eight by 1941. As with most US Navy warships, the light AA armament was replaced with 40 mm Bofors and 20 mm Oerlikon guns within 18 months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Initially, this was four 40 mm in two twin mounts and four single 20 mm guns. In 1945, with the emerging kamikaze threat and the dwindling threat from Japanese surface ships, Mustin, Morris, and Russell had all torpedo tubes removed in favor of four additional 40 mm guns for a total of eight in four twin mounts and were authorized replacement of the 20 mm single mounts by twin mounts; the latter part was not completed. The as built anti submarine armament of two depth charge racks was augmented by up to six K gun depth charge throwers during the war. Service
The class served extensively in World War II, and five of the class were lost in the war. Of the five ships lost, four were at the hands of the Japanese and one at the hands of the Germans. The class served on Neutrality Patrols in the North Atlantic, Caribbean, and South Atlantic in 1940–41. Except for Roe, Wainwright, and Buck, the class was transferred to the Pacific shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, where they often screened aircraft carriers. Two were sunk as a direct result of this duty by the same torpedo spreads that killed their carriers; Hammann escorting Yorktown in the Battle of Midway and O'Brien escorting Wasp on 15 September 1942 (O'Brien did not sink until 19 October). Walke became the only ship of the class to be sunk in action against enemy surface warships when she attempted to attack Japanese warships at the naval battle of Guadalcanal, 15th of November 1942, but was ambushed by Japanese destroyers. She was hit once from a six torpedo spread, fired from the Japanese destroyer Ayanami, that blew off her bow as she promptly went down and sank. In the Atlantic, Wainwright escorted the ill fated convoy PQ 17, and with Roe supported Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa. Buck'', damaged in a collision, missed Torch but was sunk by a U boat off Salerno, Italy in 1943. The remainder of the class saw hard service in the Pacific. At the war's end in August 1945, three of the seven survivors were undergoing overhauls that were left unfinished, and were ultimately scrapped.

Симс класының эсминецтері АҚШ Әскери-теңіз күштері үшін салынды және 1939 және 1940 жылдары қолданысқа енгізілді. Бұл он екі кеме – Америка Құрама Штаттарының Екінші дүниежүзілік соғысқа қатысуына дейін аяқталған соңғы эсминецтер класы. Симс класының барлық кемелері Екінші дүниежүзілік соғыста қатысты, ал жеті кеме соғыстан аман қалды. Бұл кластағы кемелер 1946 жылдан кейін қызметке енгізілген жоқ. Олар Екінші Лондондық теңіз келісімі аясында салынды, онда эсминецтердің стандарттық суыруына шектеу алынып тасталды, бірақ жалпы шектеу сақталды. Сондықтан, эсминецтердің санын барынша арттыру және жаңа дизайнды әзірлеуден аулақ болу үшін Симс класы бұрынғы эсминецтерге қарағанда 70 тоннаға ғана үлкен болды. Олар көбінесе 1500 тонналық кластармен топтастырылады және 1932 жылы Farragut класының өндірісі қайта басталғаннан бері алтыншы эсминецтер класы болды. Бұл класс Екінші дүниежүзілік соғыста кеңінен қолданылды, ал кластың бесеуі соғыста жойылды. Бес кемеден төртін жапондықтар, ал біреуін немістер жоғалтты. 1940-41 жылдары Атлант мұхитында бейтараптық патрульдерінде қызмет етті. Роу, Уэйнрайт және Бактан басқа, класс Перл-Харборға шабуылдан кейін көп ұзамай Тынық мұхитына ауыстырылды. Барлық кемелер қарқынды жауынгерлік қызмет атқарды. 1945 жылдың тамызында соғыс аяқталғанда жеті аман қалғанның үшеуі аяқталмаған күйінде жөндеуден өтті және соңында жаратылды. Қалған төрт теңізге лайықты кеме 1946 жылы Бикини атоллындағы «Крестовый перелом» операциясы кезінде нысана ретінде пайдаланылды. Біреуі алғашқы жарылыстан батты, ал қалған үшеуі екі жылдан кейін тәжірибелік платформа ретінде қызмет еткеннен кейін нысана ретінде батты. Дизайн

When Anderson, first of the class to be delivered in early 1939, was found to be 150 tons overweight and dangerously top heavy due to insufficient metacentric height, it touched off a redesign and rebuilding of the class. One gun (No. 3) and one quad torpedo tube mount were removed, with another torpedo tube mount relocated to the centerline. Engineering
The Sims class nearly duplicated the advanced machinery of the preceding Benham class, they were the last built with the boiler rooms adjacent forward and the engine rooms adjacent aft and therefore the last one stack US destroyers. Steam pressure was (one reference says 565 psi), superheated to Features that improved fuel economy included boiler economizers, double reduction gearing, and cruising turbines. The main turbines developed on Sims trials and were manufactured by Westinghouse. Armament
The Sims class introduced the advanced Mark 37 Gun Fire Control System. With a turret mounted gun director as in previous systems, the Mark 37 system incorporated the Ford Mark 1 Fire Control Computer mounted in a plotting room deep in the hull, which enabled automatic aiming of guns against surface or air targets with firing solutions in near real time. The system would evolve and be used extensively to control most 5 inch guns on destroyers and larger ships, and remained in service on US ships until the 1970s. The class was completed with five 5 inch dual purpose guns (anti surface and anti aircraft (AA)); the two forward mounts and the aftermost mount were enclosed. The class proved to be top heavy, and a quadruple torpedo mount and one 5 inch gun (No. 3) were removed by 1941. Early units were completed with 12 torpedo tubes in three quad mounts, one mounted centerline, the others port and starboard, while later ships were completed (and all eventually modified) with eight in two quad mounts, all on the centerline. The Mark 15 torpedo was equipped. The 5 inch guns were removed some time after the torpedo tubes were removed in most cases. The as built light AA armament of four .50 caliber machine guns (12.7 mm), the same as previous 1500 ton classes, was inadequate. This was partially remedied by increasing the number of guns to eight by 1941. As with most US Navy warships, the light AA armament was replaced with 40 mm Bofors and 20 mm Oerlikon guns within 18 months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Initially, this was four 40 mm in two twin mounts and four single 20 mm guns. In 1945, with the emerging kamikaze threat and the dwindling threat from Japanese surface ships, Mustin, Morris, and Russell had all torpedo tubes removed in favor of four additional 40 mm guns for a total of eight in four twin mounts and were authorized replacement of the 20 mm single mounts by twin mounts; the latter part was not completed. The as built anti submarine armament of two depth charge racks was augmented by up to six K gun depth charge throwers during the war. Service
The class served extensively in World War II, and five of the class were lost in the war. Of the five ships lost, four were at the hands of the Japanese and one at the hands of the Germans. The class served on Neutrality Patrols in the North Atlantic, Caribbean, and South Atlantic in 1940–41. Except for Roe, Wainwright, and Buck, the class was transferred to the Pacific shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, where they often screened aircraft carriers. Two were sunk as a direct result of this duty by the same torpedo spreads that killed their carriers; Hammann escorting Yorktown in the Battle of Midway and O'Brien escorting Wasp on 15 September 1942 (O'Brien did not sink until 19 October). Walke became the only ship of the class to be sunk in action against enemy surface warships when she attempted to attack Japanese warships at the naval battle of Guadalcanal, 15th of November 1942, but was ambushed by Japanese destroyers. She was hit once from a six torpedo spread, fired from the Japanese destroyer Ayanami, that blew off her bow as she promptly went down and sank. In the Atlantic, Wainwright escorted the ill fated convoy PQ 17, and with Roe supported Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa. Buck'', damaged in a collision, missed Torch but was sunk by a U boat off Salerno, Italy in 1943. The remainder of the class saw hard service in the Pacific. At the war's end in August 1945, three of the seven survivors were undergoing overhauls that were left unfinished, and were ultimately scrapped. The remaining four seaworthy ships were used as targets during the 1946 Operation Crossroads atomic tests at Bikini Atoll. One was sunk by the first blast, while the other three were sunk as targets two years later after serving as experimental platforms.
The Sims class''' destroyers were built for the United States Navy, and commissioned in 1939 and 1940. These twelve ships were the last United States destroyer class completed prior to the American entry into World War II. All Sims class ships saw action in World War II, and seven survived the war. No ship of this class saw service after 1946. They were built under the Second London Naval Treaty, in which the limit on destroyer standard displacement was lifted, but an overall limit remained. Thus, to maximize the number of destroyers and avoid developing an all new design, the Sims class were only 70 tons larger as designed than previous destroyers. They are usually grouped with the 1500 ton classes and were the sixth destroyer class since production resumed with the Farragut class in 1932.

Compared with the s, the Sims class were increased 8 feet (2 m) in hull length, and started a trend of increased size that led to the numerous larger 2100 ton destroyer classes that marked wartime construction.

They also had an additional 5 inch gun, with the torpedo tubes re arranged so one less quadruple mount could be used while maintaining an eight tube broadside.

Симс класы жетілген Mark 37 қару-жарақты басқару жүйесін енгізді. Бұрынғы жүйелердегідей, мұнараға орнатылған қару-жарақ директорымен Mark 37 жүйесі Ford Mark 1 Fire Control Computer-ді корпустың терең жерінде орналасқан есептеу бөлмесіне орнатты, бұл жер бетіндегі немесе әуедегі нысаналарды автоматты түрде бағыттауға мүмкіндік берді. Жүйе дамыды және эсминецтер мен үлкен кемелердегі 5 дюймдік зеңбіректерді басқару үшін кеңінен қолданылды және 1970 жылға дейін АҚШ кемелерінде қызмет етті. Класс бес 5 дюймдік екі мақсатты (жер үстіне және әуеге қарсы) зеңбірекпен жабдықталды; екі алдыңғы және артқы орнату жабық болды. Класс ең ауыр екені дәлелденді, 1941 жылы төрттік торпеда және бір 5 дюймдік зеңбірек (No. 3) алынып тасталды. Алғашқы кемелер үш төрттік орнатуда 12 торпеда түтігімен жабдықталды, біреуі орта сызықта, ал қалғандары сол және оң жақта орналасқан, ал кейінгі кемелер сегіз төрттік орнатумен жабдықталды, барлығы орта сызықта (солардың барлығы кейіннен өзгертілді). Mark 15 торпедасымен жабдықталған. 5 дюймдік зеңбіректер торпеда түтіктері алынып тасталғаннан кейін біраз уақыттан кейін алынып тасталды. Алдыңғы 1500 тонналық кластармен бірдей, төрт .50 калибрлі (12.7 мм) автоматтан жасалған жеңіл әуеге қарсы қару-жарақ жеткіліксіз болды. Бұл 1941 жылы қару саны сегізге дейін көбейтілді. АҚШ Әскери-теңіз күштерінің көптеген кемелері сияқты, әуеге қарсы қару-жарақ Перл-Харборға шабуылдан кейін 18 ай ішінде 40 мм Бофорс және 20 мм Оерликон зеңбіректермен ауыстырылды. Бастапқыда, бұл екі екі зеңбіректік 40 мм және төрт жалғыз 20 мм зеңбірек болды. 1945 жылы, жапондық камикадзе қаупінің күшеюімен және жапондық жер үсті кемелерінен туындаған қауіптің азаюымен, Мустин, Моррис және Рассел барлық торпеда түтіктерін төрт қосымша 40 мм зеңбіректерге алмастырды, барлығы екі екі зеңбіректік орнатуда сегіз зеңбірек болды және 20 мм жалғыз орнатуларды екі зеңбіректік орнатулармен алмастыруға рұқсат берілді; соңғы бөлігі аяқталған жоқ. Салынғандағы су астына қарсы қару-жарақ екі тереңдік зарядтағыш тіреуіштер соғыс кезінде алты K зеңбіректі тереңдік зарядтағыштарымен толықтырылды. Қызмет

The as built light AA armament of four .50 caliber machine guns (12.7 mm), the same as previous 1500 ton classes, was inadequate. This was partially remedied by increasing the number of guns to eight by 1941. As with most US Navy warships, the light AA armament was replaced with 40 mm Bofors and 20 mm Oerlikon guns within 18 months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Initially, this was four 40 mm in two twin mounts and four single 20 mm guns. In 1945, with the emerging kamikaze threat and the dwindling threat from Japanese surface ships, Mustin, Morris, and Russell had all torpedo tubes removed in favor of four additional 40 mm guns for a total of eight in four twin mounts and were authorized replacement of the 20 mm single mounts by twin mounts; the latter part was not completed. The as built anti submarine armament of two depth charge racks was augmented by up to six K gun depth charge throwers during the war. Service
The class served extensively in World War II, and five of the class were lost in the war. Of the five ships lost, four were at the hands of the Japanese and one at the hands of the Germans. The class served on Neutrality Patrols in the North Atlantic, Caribbean, and South Atlantic in 1940–41. Except for Roe, Wainwright, and Buck, the class was transferred to the Pacific shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, where they often screened aircraft carriers. Two were sunk as a direct result of this duty by the same torpedo spreads that killed their carriers; Hammann escorting Yorktown in the Battle of Midway and O'Brien escorting Wasp on 15 September 1942 (O'Brien did not sink until 19 October). Walke became the only ship of the class to be sunk in action against enemy surface warships when she attempted to attack Japanese warships at the naval battle of Guadalcanal, 15th of November 1942, but was ambushed by Japanese destroyers. She was hit once from a six torpedo spread, fired from the Japanese destroyer Ayanami, that blew off her bow as she promptly went down and sank. In the Atlantic, Wainwright escorted the ill fated convoy PQ 17, and with Roe supported Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa. Buck'', damaged in a collision, missed Torch but was sunk by a U boat off Salerno, Italy in 1943. The remainder of the class saw hard service in the Pacific. At the war's end in August 1945, three of the seven survivors were undergoing overhauls that were left unfinished, and were ultimately scrapped. The remaining four seaworthy ships were used as targets during the 1946 Operation Crossroads atomic tests at Bikini Atoll. One was sunk by the first blast, while the other three were sunk as targets two years later after serving as experimental platforms.
The Sims class''' destroyers were built for the United States Navy, and commissioned in 1939 and 1940. These twelve ships were the last United States destroyer class completed prior to the American entry into World War II. All Sims class ships saw action in World War II, and seven survived the war. No ship of this class saw service after 1946. They were built under the Second London Naval Treaty, in which the limit on destroyer standard displacement was lifted, but an overall limit remained. Thus, to maximize the number of destroyers and avoid developing an all new design, the Sims class were only 70 tons larger as designed than previous destroyers. They are usually grouped with the 1500 ton classes and were the sixth destroyer class since production resumed with the Farragut class in 1932. The class served extensively in World War II, and five of the class were lost in the war. Of the five ships lost, four were at the hands of the Japanese and one at the hands of the Germans. The class served on Neutrality Patrols in the Atlantic in 1940 41. Except for Roe, Wainwright, and Buck, the class was transferred to the Pacific shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

One was sunk by the first blast, while the other three were sunk as targets two years later after serving as experimental platforms. Design
Compared with the s, the Sims class were increased 8 feet (2 m) in hull length, and started a trend of increased size that led to the numerous larger 2100 ton destroyer classes that marked wartime construction. The class was designed by Gibbs & Cox. They incorporated streamlining of the bridge structure and the forward part of the hull, in an attempt to increase speed and improve fuel economy. They also had an additional 5 inch gun, with the torpedo tubes re arranged so one less quadruple mount could be used while maintaining an eight tube broadside. When Anderson, first of the class to be delivered in early 1939, was found to be 150 tons overweight and dangerously top heavy due to insufficient metacentric height, it touched off a redesign and rebuilding of the class. One gun (No. 3) and one quad torpedo tube mount were removed, with another torpedo tube mount relocated to the centerline. Engineering
The Sims class nearly duplicated the advanced machinery of the preceding Benham class, they were the last built with the boiler rooms adjacent forward and the engine rooms adjacent aft and therefore the last one stack US destroyers. Steam pressure was (one reference says 565 psi), superheated to Features that improved fuel economy included boiler economizers, double reduction gearing, and cruising turbines. The main turbines developed on Sims trials and were manufactured by Westinghouse. Armament
The Sims class introduced the advanced Mark 37 Gun Fire Control System. With a turret mounted gun director as in previous systems, the Mark 37 system incorporated the Ford Mark 1 Fire Control Computer mounted in a plotting room deep in the hull, which enabled automatic aiming of guns against surface or air targets with firing solutions in near real time. The system would evolve and be used extensively to control most 5 inch guns on destroyers and larger ships, and remained in service on US ships until the 1970s. The class was completed with five 5 inch dual purpose guns (anti surface and anti aircraft (AA)); the two forward mounts and the aftermost mount were enclosed. The class proved to be top heavy, and a quadruple torpedo mount and one 5 inch gun (No. 3) were removed by 1941. Early units were completed with 12 torpedo tubes in three quad mounts, one mounted centerline, the others port and starboard, while later ships were completed (and all eventually modified) with eight in two quad mounts, all on the centerline.

Класс Екінші дүниежүзілік соғыста кеңінен қолданылды, ал кластың бесеуі соғыста жойылды. Бес кемеден төртін жапондықтар, ал біреуін немістер жоғалтты. Класс 1940-41 жылдары Солтүстік Атлант, Кариб теңізі және Оңтүстік Атлант мұхитында бейтараптық патрульдерінде қызмет етті. Роу, Уэйнрайт және Бактан басқа, класс Перл-Харборға шабуылдан кейін көп ұзамай Тынық мұхитына ауыстырылды, онда олар көбінесе ұшақ тасымалдаушыларын қорғады. Екеуі ұшақ тасымалдаушыларын өлтірген бірдей торпедалық шабуылдардың тікелей нәтижесінде батты; Йорктаунды сүйемелдеген Хамман Мидуэй шайқасында және 15 қыркүйекте Уаспты сүйемелдеген О'Брайен (О'Брайен 19 қазанға дейін батқан жоқ). Уоке жапондық эсминецтерге шабуыл жасағанда Гуадалканал теңіз шайқасында жаудың жер үсті кемелеріне қарсы шайқаста батқан класс кемесі болды, бірақ ол жапондық эсминецтермен шабуылға ұшырады. Ол жапондық эсминец Аянамадан атылған алты торпедалық шабуылдан біреуіне ілігіп, бауын жойды және дереу батып кетті. Атлант мұхитында Уэйнрайт тағдырлы PQ 17 конвоясын сүйемелдеді, ал Роу Солтүстік Африканы басып алу операциясы Точқа қолдау көрсетті. Бак соқтығысу салдарынан зардап шекті, Точқа қатыспады, бірақ 1943 жылы Салерно, Италия жанында U қайықпен батты. Кластың қалған бөлігі Тынық мұхитында қиын қызмет атқарды. 1945 жылдың тамызында соғыс аяқталғанда жеті аман қалғанның үшеуі аяқталмаған жөндеуден өтті және соңында жаратылды. Қалған төрт теңізге лайықты кеме 1946 жылы Бикини атоллындағы «Крестовый перелом» операциясы кезінде нысана ретінде пайдаланылды. Біреуі алғашқы жарылыстан батты, ал қалған үшеуі екі жылдан кейін тәжірибелік платформа ретінде қызмет еткеннен кейін нысана ретінде батты.
