hu .x 5'2 ,. V N-0' t ,i-. KIT-ig - L-we SS WAIN RIGHT CDLG:-283 USS WAINWRIGHT QDLG-285 is a 1, Ld-26 class Guided Missile Frigate and is the third ship in the Navy to bear this name. She is named after five distinguished naval officers from two WAINWRIGHT families. These of- ficers served our country with valor during the years from the mid-19th Century until after the First World War. The primary mission of WAINWRIGHT is to provide anti-air and anti-submarine defense in a fast carrier task force. Secondary missions are to provide defense against surface ships and to conduct shore bombardment in sup- port of amphibious operations. WAINWRIGHT was the first frigate to be built with an integrated weapons direction system that employs high speed computers of great reliability. This system processes data on targets of all kinds and feeds it to the Terrier Standard Missile fire control and launching systems in order that missiles may be properly aimed and fired at any attacker, air or surface. WAINWRIGHT is equipped with a single, dual-purpose, rapid-fire 5754 semi-automatic gun mount and two rapid-fire 3 f50 heavy machine gun mounts. These two systems provide additional defense against air and surface threats. WAINWRIGHT is 547 feet in length with a maximum beam of 55 feet and a draft of 28 feet. Although the ship, with a displacement of 7930 tons, is about the size of a World War II cruiser, she has destroyer acceleration and maneuverability. Four high-pressure boilers supply steam for two main engines capable of delivering 90,000 horsepower for propulsion. Since being commissioned in 1966, WAINWRIGHT has operated in many parts of the world, with three combat tours in the Western Pacific in support of Allied operations in Southeast Asia. This current deployment is WAINWRIGHT'S first to the Mediterranean as part of the U.S. SIXTH FLEET.
