USS KINKAID (DD-965) History USS KINKAID (DD-965) is the third SPRUANCE class destroyer and the second to join the Pacific Fleet. KINKAID is honieported in San Diejjo, CaUfornia. Desipmed and built by Ingalls Shipbuilding of Litton Industries in Pascagoula, Mississippi, KINKAID is a member of the first major class of surface ships in the United States Navy to be powered by gas turbine engines. Four General Electric LM-2500 engines, marine versions of those used on DC-10 and C-.5A aircraft, drive the ship at speeds in excess of 30 knots. Twin controllable reversible pitch propellers provide KINKAID with a degree of maneuverability unique among warships of her size. A highly versatile multi-mission destroyer, KINKAID is capable of operating independently or in company with Amphibious or Carrier Task Forces. The ship displaces 8200 tons and is 563 feet in length. KINAKID ' s primary mission is to operate offensively in an antisubmarine war- fare role. KINKAID ' s sonar, the most advanced under- water detection and fire control system yet developed, is fully integrated with a digital Naval Tactical Data Sys- tem, providing the ship faster and more accurate process- ing of target information. Integration of the ship ' s digital gun fire control system into the NTDS provides quick reaction in the mission of shore bombardment, surface warfare and antiaircraft warfare. The ship ' s weapons include two MK 45 lightweight 5 inch guns, two triple barrel MK 32 torpedo tubes, an antisubmarine rocket (ASROC) launcher, and facilities for operating antisubmarine helicopters. The ship is armed with the NATO Seasparrow Missile System, a short range, surface to air defensive weapon, and the HARPOON Missile System, a medium range, surface to surface, anti-ship missiles KINKAID employs the MK 23 Target Acquisition System Radar, two MK 15 (PHA- LANX) 20 mm Close-in Weapons Systems, Super RBOC Chaff, and topside armor. Crew comfort and habitability are an integral part of KINKAID ' s design. Berthing compartments are spa- cious and the ship is equipped with amenities not usually found aboard other destroyers, including a crew ' s library, lounge, and gymnasium. Although KINKAID is as large as a World War II cruiser, a high degree of automation permits a reduced crew of 19 officers and 277 enlisted to operate the ship. KINKAID is one of the world ' s most modern destroyers with an advanced propulsion system and fully integrated combat systems. Her growth potential ensures she will remain a potent force for freedom for decades to come.
