USS Fanning (FF-1076), a Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities"., is the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Nathaniel Fanning.
Design and description
The Knox-class design was derived from the Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". modified to extend range and without a long-range missile system. The ships had an overall length of Script error: No such module "convert"., a beam of Script error: No such module "convert". and a draft of Script error: No such module "convert".. They displaced Script error: No such module "convert". at full load. Their crew consisted of 13 officers and 211 enlisted men.[1]
The ships were equipped with one Westinghouse geared steam turbine that drove the single propeller shaft. The turbine was designed to produce Script error: No such module "convert"., using steam provided by 2 C-E boilers, to reach the designed speed of Script error: No such module "convert".. The Knox class had a range of Script error: No such module "convert". at a speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..[2]
The Knox-class ships were armed with a 5"/54 caliber Mark 42 gun forward and a single 3-inch/50-caliber gun aft. They mounted an eight-round ASROC launcher between the 5-inch (127 mm) gun and the bridge. Close-range anti-submarine defense was provided by two twin Script error: No such module "convert". Mk 32 torpedo tubes. The ships were equipped with a torpedo-carrying DASH drone helicopter; its telescoping hangar and landing pad were positioned amidships aft of the mack. Beginning in the 1970s, the DASH was replaced by a SH-2 Seasprite LAMPS I helicopter and the hangar and landing deck were accordingly enlarged. Most ships also had the 3-inch (76 mm) gun replaced by an eight-cell BPDMS missile launcher in the early 1970s.[3] None of the class was actually built mounting a 3-inch gun.
