USS INGERSOLL (DD 990) USS INGERSOLL i DD 99l) is ihc lurnry-.-ighih of the tliirty-sliip SPRUANCE Class Destroyer shipbuilding program developed to help maintain AmeruMs n.ival strength into the next century. She is a versatile, multi-mission ship, fully capable of operating independently, and as a unit ot carrier battle groups. The ship was designed primarily for anti-submarine u.irt,iro. .md has the most advanced underwater detection and fire control system yet developed for surface ships. INGERSOLL IS .list) .111 outstanding platform for shore bombardment and is capable ot acting in support of diverse tasks ranging from amphibious assaults to blockades, as well as other traditional destroyer roles. INGERSOLL is a large ship (more than twice the size ot a World War II destroyer). As such, she CAn carry her formidable array of weapons and electronic equipment long distances at high speeds. The ship is powered by four gas turbine engines which produce more than 20,000 horsepower each, and can drive the ship at speeds that exceed 30 knots. The turn controllable, reversible pitch propellers give the ship an exceptional degree ot responsiveness. INGERSOLL ' s main battery consists ot tuo 5 inch 54 caliber guns, which can throw a pro)ectile over I 2 miles at a tiring rate ot 20 rounds per minute. Other weapons include torpedoes, surface-to-air missies, surtace-to-surface missies, and dual helicopter capability for both surveillance and for long-range delivery of an air-dropped torpedo. Built with tuturc growth in mind, INGERSOLLs design is modular in nature, allowing for easy installation of entire subsystems within the ship. Space and power reservations have been made to accommodate future weapons and electronic systems as they are developed. This design feature allows INGERSOLL to adapt easily as military technology evolves. Crew confort and habitability were also of prime consideration in INGERSOLL ' s design. Berthing areas are very spacious compared to earlier destroyers, and the ship is equiped with habitability features uncommon to most of its predecessors. Automation ot man - of the ship ' s weapons and engineering systems permit the ship to be manned by far fewer personnel than would otherwise be necessary.

In an SUW mission the aircraft provides a mobile, elevated platform for observing, identifying, and localizingthreat platforms beyond the parent ship ' s radar and or electronic support measure (ESM) horizon. When a suspect threat is detected, classification and targeting data is provided to the parent ship via a discrete datalink tor surface-to-surface weapon engagement.
