偶尔看到这艘基林。。DD712, USS Gyatt. 舰尾显然是有啥 火箭 导弹发射器。。。
The primary launcher used for the RIM-2 Terrier missile was the Mark 10 (Mk 10) twin-arm launcher, though early testing also utilized the Mark 8 (Mk 8) launcher on the destroyer USS Gyatt.
改造完之后 DD 也就升级成了 DDG。。。 竟然是 DDG-1 .。。。全球第一艘 导弹驱逐舰。。LOL~~
For her new role, Gyatt entered the Boston Naval Shipyard on 26 September 1955, and was decommissioned on 31 October for conversion into the world's first guided missile destroyer (DDG).
被当枪使用完了之后， 又被改成雷达测试舰， 竟然 弦号又被改回 DD712 了。。哈哈哈哈。。 特么的美国人 就是务实哈~~
Radar test ship
With her original goal fulfilled, she was retrofitted for service with the Operational Test and Evaluation Force in 1962. On 29 June, she entered the Charleston Naval Shipyard to have her Terriers removed and a mast fitted on top of the old missile magazine. The purpose of the new mast was to carry electronics and other experimental equipment so they could be tested at sea. Now designated as a radar test ship, her hull number was reverted to DD-712.
不过 结局 倒是有点令人唏嘘！
Sinking
By the late 1960s, her hull began to crack from stress caused by the missile launches. As it was cheaper to prematurely dispose of her than fix the hull, she was transferred to the reserve fleet and homeported to Washington, D.C. in 1968. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 22 October 1969, and sunk as a target off Virginia on 11 June 1970.[3][16]
没想到 那舰尾的 导弹试验 竟然能让舰体 产生裂缝。。。
看来 试验舰 也不是 啥 容易当的 差事 啊！！哈哈哈哈哈哈~~ 射多了伤身。。。
