Four General Electric LM-2500 engines, marine versions of those used on DC- 1 and C-5A aircraft, drive the ship at speeds in excess of 30 knots. Twin controllable reversible pitch propellers provide KINK. 1D with a degree of maneuverability unique among warships of her size. .A highly versatile multi-mission destroyer. KINK. ID is capable of operating independently or in company with .Amphibious or Carrier Task Forces. Her overall length is 563 feet and she displaces 8350 tons. KINKAID ' s primary mission is to operate offensively in an anti-submarine warfare role. KIN- K. ID ' s sonar, the most advanced underwater detection and fire control system yet developed, is fully integrated with a digital Naval Tactical Data Dystem (NTDS), providing the ship with faster and more accurate processing of target information than previous systems. Integration of the ship ' s digital gun fire control system into the NTDS provides quick reaction in the mission areas of shore bombardment, surface warfare and antiaircraft warfare. The ship ' s weapons include two Mark 45 lightweight 5 inch guns, two triple barrel Mark 32 torpedo tubes, an antisubmarine rocket (ASROC) launcher, and facilities for operating the SH-60B Lamps Mark III Antisubmarine Helicopter.

Berthing compartments are spacious and the ship is equipped with amenities not usually found aboard other destroyers, including a crew ' s lounge, library and gymnasium. .-Mthough KINK. ID is as large as a World War II cruiser, automated weapons and engineering systems permit a reduced crew of 24 officers and 302 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. Space, weight and electrical power reserves included in her original design allow for the addition of advanced systems as technology dictates. KINKAID shall remain a potent force for freedom for decades to come.
