USS ELLIOT DD-967 ii PRIDE INSIDE USS ELLIOT DD-967, a Spruance-class destroyer, is one of the world ' s most modern warships possessing advanced propulsion systerhs, fully integrated combat systems and crew habitability not usually found aboard destroyers. Commissioned in 1977, ELLIOT is home- ported in San Diego, California. Designed and built by Ingalls Shipbuilding Division of Litton Industries, Pascagoula, Mississippi, ELLIOT is a member of the first major class of surface combatant in the U.S. Navy to be powered by gas turbine engines. Four General Electric LM-2500 engines, marine versions of those used on DC- 10 and C-5A aircraft, drive the ship at speeds in excess of 30 knots. Twin reversible pitch propellers provide ELLIOT with a degree of maneuver- ability unique among warships of her size. A highly versatile multi-mission destroyer, ELLIOT has a primary mission of operating in an Anti-Submarine and Strike Warfare role. ELLIOT is capable of indepen- dent operations or, in company with an Amphibious or Carrier Task Forces. ELLIOT ' S overall length is 563 feet and displaces 8,900 tons when fully loaded. ELLIOT is one of the most powerful and advanced platforms in the Navy ' s arsenal. ELLIOT ' S ASW suite, the most modern underwater and fire control systems developed, is fully integrated into a digital Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS), providing the ship with faster and more accurate processing of target information. Integration of the ship ' s digital gun and missile fire control systems into the NTDS allows quick reaction in the performance of ELLIOT ' S other primary mission areas such as Anti-Sur- face Warfare, Anti-Air Warfare and Naval Gunfire Sup- port. The ship ' s weapon systems include the new MK4I Vertical Launch System (VLS) which can carry and fire TOMAHAWK land-attack and anti-ship cruise missiles, HARPOON anti-ship cruise missiles, NATO SEA SPAR- ROW anti-air missiles, the shoulder-fired STINGER anti-air missile system, two MK45 127mm (5-inch) lightweight dual-purpose guns, two 25mm Bushmasters guns, two 20mm Vulcan Phalanx Close-in Weapon System (ciws), four 12.7mm (.50 caliber) machine guns and two triple MK32 torpedo tubes. A LAMPS MK-III SH-60B heli- copter is embarked on ELLIOT to provide long-range reconnaissance and targeting data. The helo is capable of carrying and launching two MK46 anti-submarine torpe- does and, carries one 7.62mm M-60 light machine gun. Space, weight and electrical power reservations have been built into the ship ' s design to allow for the addition of future weapon systems and enable ELLIOT to keep abreast of state-of-the-art weapon technology, ensuring ELLIOT ' S longevity well into the 2 1st Century.
