USS CARON: REGULAR NAVY The USS CARON DD 970, is no longer the new face on the waterfront, having more than proven herself as a front runner in such exercises last year as Aggressive Knight, Teamwork 80, United Effort, Baltops 80, READEX, and local Vacapes oper- ations. Doing nothing less than the best has become second nature to her crew, whether it was full power engineering trials, or gunnery exercises, or long range targeting, or tricky seamanship evolutions. When the going gets tough for other ships and other Navies, it ' s just right for this destroyer. CARON is the 8th SPRUANCE class destroyer to be built at ingalls shipyard, Pascagoala, Missis- sippi, (the first being USS SPRUANCE DD-963. She will have upwards of thirty sister ships in the Atlantic and Pacific, and is named after Hospital Corpman, Wayne Caron, who gave his life for his country during the Vietnam War. She is equally at home chasing submarines, conducting shore bom- bardment, countering an air attack, or engaging surface targets at short or long range. It is hoped that she shall never fire a shot in anger, but if called upon, she will be ready for any contingency. DD-970 is equiped witho MK 45 lightweight 5 inch 54 guns, ASROC launcher, torpedo tubes,. Harpoon Cruise Missiles, NATO Sea Sparrow anti air missiles, and the LAMPS helo for ASW and logistic support. She is powered by four magnificent gas turbine LM 2500 engines, and can meet any demands for electrical power or habitability services such as water, steam and air conditioning, in fact CARON is a living testimony to the limits of American technology, and will be in the forefront of US defense for many years to come.
