Only Subs and these frigs can keep up with carriers, a lot of people don’t know that.

They are really fast, but they take a lot of time to get underway but once they are they are very fast

All the Spruance class have been put away. They can keep up with CVs, and they make enough hot water that there are usually no water hours. Chopper capable, ASW design, and initially Harpoons. Last time I rode one was in 1989, so don’t know what upgrades they have had, but that is my choice for recommissioning. They also have two screws, so maneuvering is good. Draft is somewhat of a problem in littoral waters due to sonar dome.
