TheAllen M. Sumner class was a group of 58destroyers built by the United States duringWorld War II. Another twelve ships were completed asdestroyer minelayers. The class was named forAllen Melancthon Sumner, an officer in theUnited States Marine Corps. Often referred to as simply theSumner, this class was distinguished from the previousFletcher class by their twin5-inch/38 caliber gun mounts, dual rudders, additionalanti-aircraft weapons, and many other advancements. TheAllen M. Sumner design was extended 14 feet (4.3 m) amidships to become theGearing class, which was produced in larger numbers but did not see significant service in World War II.

Completed in 1943–45, four Sumners were lost in the war and two were damaged so badly they were scrapped, but the surviving ships served in the US Navy into the 1970s. After being retired from the US fleet, 29 of them were sold to other navies, where they served many more years.One still exists as amuseum ship in South Carolina.

Description

[edit]

World War II Destroyer Shipbuilders map from Department of Defense (DoD)

The first ship was laid down in May 1943, while the last was launched in April 1945. In that time, the United States produced 58Allen M. Sumner-class destroyers. TheAllen M. Sumner class was an improvement of the previousFletcher class, which were built from 1941 until 1944. In addition to three twin5-inch/38 caliber gun mounts replacing theFletchers' five single mounts, theSumners had twin rudders, giving them better maneuverability forASW work when compared to theFletchers. The 5-inch guns were guided by aMark 37 Gun Fire Control System with a Mark 25fire control radar linked by aMark 1A Fire Control Computer stabilized by a Mark 6 8,500 rpm gyro. Thisfire control system provided effective long-range anti-aircraft (AA) or anti-surface fire. TheAllen M. Sumners also had larger set of short-range anti-aircraft armament than theFletchers, with 1240 mm guns and 1120 mm guns compared with the 10 40 mm and 7 20 mm complement typical of a late-war standardFletcher. The initial design retained theFletchers' heavytorpedo armament of 10 21-inch (533 mm) tubes in two quintuple mounts, firing theMark 15 torpedo. As the threat fromkamikaze aircraft mounted in 1945, and with few remainingJapanese warships to use torpedoes on, most of the class had the aft quintuple 21-inch torpedo tube mount replaced by an additional 40 mm quadruple mount for 16 total 40 mm guns.^[1]^[2]

TheAllen M. Sumners achieved a 20% increase in 5-inch gun armament and almost a 50% increase in light AA armament on a hull the same length as aFletcher, only 15 inches (38 cm) wider, and about 15 inches (38 cm) deeper in draft. The increase in standard displacement was only 150 tons, about 7.5%. Thus, theAllen M. Sumner class was a significant improvement in combat power at a small increase in cost.

See also theRobert H. Smith-class destroyer minelayer (DM), twelve of which were built on hulls originally intended asAllen M. Sumners. TheGearing-class destroyers were of the same design, modified with a 14-foot (4.3 m) midship extension to carry more fuel to extend the ships' range.

Service

[edit]

TheAllen M. Sumners served onradar picket stations in theBattle of Okinawa, as well as other duties, and had several losses.Cooper,Meredith,Mannert L. Abele, andDrexler were lost during the war, andHugh W. Hadley was so badly damaged by a kamikaze attack that she was scrapped soon after the war ended. In addition,Frank E. Evans was split in half in a collision with the aircraft carrier HMASMelbourne, and never repaired. After the war most of the class (except some of the light minelayers) had their 40 mm and 20 mm guns replaced by up to six3-inch/50 caliber guns (76 mm), and the pole mast was replaced by a tripod to carry a new, heavier radar. On most ships one depth charge rack was removed and twoHedgehog mounts added. One of the two quintuple 21-inch (533 mm)torpedo tube mountings had already been removed on most to make way for a quadruple 40 mm gun mounting and additional radar for the radar picket mission. 33 ships were converted under the Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization II (FRAM II) program 1960–65, but not as extensively as theGearings. Typically, FRAMAllen M. Sumners retained all three 5-inch/38 twin mounts and received theDrone Anti-Submarine Helicopter (DASH), two tripleMark 32 torpedo tubes for theMark 44 torpedo, and two new single 21-inch torpedo tubes for theMark 37 torpedo, with all 3-inch and lighter guns, previous ASW armament, and 21-inch torpedo tubes being removed.Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) was also fitted; however,ASROC was not fitted.^[3] Ships that did not receive FRAM were typically upgraded withMk 32 triple torpedo tubes in exchange for the K-guns, but retained Hedgehog and one depth charge rack.^[2]

In Navy slang, the modified destroyers were called "FRAM cans", "can" being a contraction of "tin can", the slang term for a destroyer or destroyer escort.

ManyAllen M. Sumners provided significantgunfire support in theVietnam War. They also served as escorts for Carrier Battle Groups (Carrier Strike Groups from 2004) and Amphibious Ready Groups (Expeditionary Strike Groups from 2006). From 1965, some of the class were transferred to theNaval Reserve Force (NRF), with a partial active crew to train Naval reservists.

Disposition

[edit]

USS *De Haven* c.1970 fitted with FRAM II modifications.

The ships served in the US Navy into the 1970s. DASH was withdrawn fromanti-submarine warfare (ASW) service in 1969 due to poor reliability.^[4] LackingASROC, theAllen M. Sumners were left without a standoff ASW capability and were decommissioned 1970–73, with most being transferred to foreign navies. The FRAM Sumners were effectively replaced as ASW ships by theKnox-class frigates (destroyer escorts prior to 1975), which were commissioned 1969–74 & carried a piloted helicopter, typically theKaman SH-2 Seasprite & ASROC. After theAllen M. Sumners were retired from the US fleet, seven were sunk by the US in fleet training exercises and 13 were scrapped, while 29 were sold to other navies (two for spare parts) where they served for many more years. Twelve were sold to theRepublic of China Navy, and two were sold to theRepublic of Korea Navy. Two were sold to theIran, and one was sold toTurkey. One was sold toGreece. Two were sold toVenezuela, two toColombia, two toChile, five toBrazil, and four toArgentina.

Currently, onlyUSS Laffey (DD-724), located atPatriots Point,Charleston, South Carolina, remains, as amuseum ship.

Other navies

[edit]

Argentina

[edit]

Main article:Seguí-class destroyer

TheArgentine Navy acquired fourSumners as a more capable adjunct to their previously acquiredFletcher class destroyers. While one was merely to provide spare parts to keep the rest of the fleet serviceable, the other three would go on and serve through theFalklands War, in which they would take a minor role. Soon after the conflict, they were stricken and disposed of.
