They were the last United States destroyer class completed prior to the American entry into World War II. All Sims class ships saw action in World War II, and seven survived the war. No ship of this class saw service after 1. They were built under the Second London Naval Treaty, in which the tonnage limit on destroyer standard displacement was lifted, but an overall tonnage limit remained. Thus, to maximize the number of destroyers and avoid developing an all new design, the Sims class were only 7. They are usually grouped with the 1. Farragut class in 1. The class served extensively in World War II, and five of the class were lost in the war. FUXO1s1z4dd.jpg' alt='Sims 3 Builders World Mochudi' title='Sims 3 Builders World Mochudi' />Description.

Except for Roe, Wainwright, and Buck, the class was transferred to the Pacific shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. All of the ships saw extensive combat service. At the wars end in August 1. The remaining four seaworthy ships were used as targets during the 1. Operation Crossroads atomic tests at Bikini Atoll. One was sunk by the first blast, while the other three were sunk as targets two years later after serving as experimental platforms. USS Russell, possibly as in 1. Mount 5. 3 still equipped and K guns added. Compared with the Benhams, the Sims class were increased 8 feet 2. The class was designed by Gibbs Cox. They incorporated streamlining of the bridge structure and the forward part of the hull, in an attempt to increase speed and improve fuel economy. They also had an additional 5 inch gun, with the torpedo tubes re arranged so one less quadruple mount could be used while maintaining an eight tube broadside. When Anderson, first of the class to be delivered in early 1.

Acting Secretary of the Navy. Charles Edison proposed consolidation of the design divisions of the two bureaus. Leopard Vista Shared here. When the bureau chiefs could not agree on how to do this, he replaced both chiefs in September 1. The consolidation into the new Bureau of Ships was finally effected by a law passed by Congress on 2. June 1. 94. 0. 4EngineeringeditThe Sims class nearly duplicated the advanced machinery of the preceding Benham class, but further improvements would come in the subsequent Benson class. The Sims class were the last built with the boiler rooms adjacent forward and the engine rooms adjacent aft, due to larger boilers than in subsequent classes this meant they were the last one stack US destroyers. The Benson class and their successors had echeloned or alternating boiler and engine rooms for increased survivability, which led to two stacks. In the echeloned arrangement, a loss of two adjacent compartments would still leave one boiler room and one engine room operational. Steam pressure was 6. Pa one reference says 5. F 3. 79 C. 25 Features that improved fuel economy included boiler economizers, double reduction gearing, and cruising turbines. The main turbines developed 5. W on Sims trials and were manufactured by Westinghouse. Armamentedit. Mk 3. Director ca. Mk 1. Mk 2. The Sims class introduced the advanced Mark 3. Gun Fire Control System. With a turret mounted gun director as in previous systems, the Mark 3. Ford Mark 1 Fire Control Computer mounted in a plotting room deep in the hull, which enabled automatic aiming of guns against surface or air targets with firing solutions in near real time. The system would evolve and be used extensively to control most 5 inch guns on destroyers and larger ships, and remained in service on US ships until the 1. The class was completed with five 5 inch dual purpose guns anti surface and anti aircraft AA the two forward mounts and the aftermost mount were enclosed. The class proved to be top heavy, and a quadruple torpedo mount and one 5 inch gun No. Early units were completed with 1. The Mark 1. 5 torpedo was equipped. The 5 inch guns were removed some time after the torpedo tubes were removed in most cases. The as built light AA armament of four. This was partially remedied by increasing the number of guns to eight by 1. As with most US Navy warships, the light AA armament was replaced with 4. Bofors and 2. 0 mm Oerlikon guns within 1. Pearl Harbor. Initially, this was four 4. In 1. 94. 5, with the emerging kamikaze threat and the dwindling threat from Japanese surface ships, Mustin, Morris, and Russell had all torpedo tubes removed in favor of four additional 4. The as built anti submarine armament of two depth charge racks was augmented by up to six K gun depth charge throwers during the war. ServiceeditThe class served extensively in World War II, and five of the class were lost in the war. Of the five ships lost, four were at the hands of the Japanese and one at the hands of the Germans. The class served on Neutrality Patrols in the North Atlantic, Caribbean, and South Atlantic in 1. Except for Roe, Wainwright, and Buck, the class was transferred to the Pacific shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, where they often screened aircraft carriers. Two were sunk as a direct result of this duty by the same torpedo spreads that killed their carriers Hammann escorting USS Yorktown in the Battle of Midway and OBrien escorting USS Wasp on 1. September 1. 94. 2 OBrien did not sink until 1. October. In the Atlantic, Wainwright escorted the ill fated convoy PQ 1. Roe supported Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa. Buck, damaged in a collision, missed Torch but was sunk by a U boat off Salerno, Italy in 1. The remainder of the class saw hard service in the Pacific. At the wars end in August 1. The remaining four seaworthy ships were used as targets during the 1. Operation Crossroadsatomic tests at Bikini Atoll.
