A total of twenty-eight Gearing-class ships served in two DDR configurations. Shown above is USS Hanson (DDR-832) in an early DDR configuration. The list of available ships is below.

Some Gearing-class ships were converted to radar picket ships from 1944 until they were upgraded to a DDR II configuration in 1952.
