Spruance. September 1975. I O Ship s Commissioned on 20 September 1975 in Pascagoula, Mississippi, USS SPRUANCE CDD 963D is the first of a class of 31 destroyers developed for the primary mission of Undersea Warfare. Displacing 9020 tons, SPRUAN CE class destroyers are the largest destroyers in the history of the U.S. Navy. These sophisticated warships are designed to be readily adaptable to new weapons systems and electronics, ensuring that these ships will remain in service into the twenty-first century. Asuperior weapon suite makes SPRUAN CE one of the most capable ships in the U.S. N avy's arsenal. Armed with a 61 cell Vertical Launch System CVLSJ, USS SPRUANCE can launch Tomahawk cruise missiles against shore targets and Vertical Launch Anti-Submarine Rockets against hostile submarines. SPRUAN CE also carries eight Harpoon anti-ship cruise missiles, two five inch gims for surface, air, and shore fire support, a NATO Sea Sparrow missile launcher to engage enemy aircraft and anti-ship missiles, and a 20mm Close In Weapon System for short range air defense. These weapon systems give SPRUANCE a lethal ability to engage enemy forces in a highly complex and challenging warfare environment. USS SPRUANCE is equipped with some of the most modern upgrades in her class. The Vertical Launch System upgrade was received in the late 19805, replacing an older ASROC launcher. The active and passive Anti-submarine sensors are among the most capable in the world. Engineering plant steam auxiliary systems have been completely replaced with electric equivalents. SPRUANCE is fitted with Reverse Osmosis Distilling Plants, significantly increasing the production of fresh water. Numerous other upgrades have kept SPRUANCE at the cutting edge of technology.
