SHIP ' S HISTORY INGERSOLL was placed in commission on 12 April 1980. The ship is named after Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll, one of the Navy ' s most distinguished leaders during World War II. Admiral Ingersoll served as Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet during most of the war, and IS credited with defeating the German submarine threat, thus opening the Atlantic sea lanes and ensuring eventual victory in Europe. At 563 feet in length, 55 feet at the beam, and displacing approximately 8000 tons, IN- GERSOLL is more than twice the size of a typical World War II destroyer. The ship was designed as an anti-submarine warfare platform, and features the most advanced under- water detection and fire control system afloat. INGERSOLL ' s gun and missile systems likewise provide impressive capabilities in the traditional destroyer roles of shore bombard- ment and anti-surface warfare. The ship ' s main propulsion is provided by four gas turbine engines which produce 20,500 shaft horsepower each and can propel the ship at speeds in excess of 30 knots. INGERSOLL is served by 25 officers and a crew of 300 highly skilled pro- fessional sailors. INGERSOLL is a veteran of two deployments to the Western Pacific and Indian oceans. During its most recent deployment, the ship served as a component of the USS NEW JERSEY task group during exercises in waters off the Central American coast.
