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.[3]

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 RUR-5 ASROC launcher between the Script error: No such module "convert". 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.
