Gearing Class FRAM I, Group B, Short
Mast
We now have prints of 18
GEARING-class FRAM I destroyers in this configuration:
Two, twin 5"/38 gun mounts, one
forward and one aft; a short tripod foremast with either SPS-29, SPS-37, or
SPS-40 air search radar; one ASROC launcher; two, triple Mark 32 torpedo tubes;
and a DASH hangar with electronics mast aft. This configuration is applicable
only to the ships listed below, from 1961 until they were decommissioned.
These ships were part of Group B,
which had one 5" mount forward and one aft. Group A (8 ships) had two 5" mounts
forward and none aft. Other Group B conversions received a different, somewhat
taller, tripod mast.
