were four experimental large destroyers built by the US Navy shortly after World War II. It was larger than all previous destroyers, but was reclassified as Destroyer Leader during construction. It served in 1953-1954, two of which remained in service until 1969, and were dismantled in the 70 s. The other two were converted into guided missile destroyers, which remained in service until 1978 and were sold for dismantling in 1980. It was designed to test different propulsion systems and other equipment to determine the best option for future destroyer designs. The design and construction provided valuable lessons for future destroyer development for the U.S. Navy.
