Jouett (DLG 29) - Naval Cruise Book

USS JOUETT DLG-29 Although generations removed from her namesakes, the DD 41 and the DD 396, JOUETT is of the same breed. Fast, versatile and hard hitting, she is equipped for whatever tasks the future might bring, and just as her predecessors, the fighting strength of JOUETT is deter- mined by the ability of her crew to utilize her sophisticated equipment in a team effort. One of the latest class of guided missile frigates to be authorized by Congress. JOUETT is significantly different from her recent predecessors in that her anti- air warfare capability has been improved with new radars and additional data control systems, and her anti- submarine capability enhanced with the newest and most powerful bow mounted sonar. Displacing 8.000 tons at full load, JOUETT is 547 feet in length and 55 feet in breadth. A 1200 psi steam propulsion plant with two engines developing 85,000 shaft horsepower drives her at top speeds in excess of 30 knots.
