Historical Information
The Spruance class entered service in 1975 as a large gas-turbine-powered destroyer optimized for anti-submarine warfare and carrier escort. Its spacious hull and power plant provided substantial growth potential, and many ships later received Tomahawk cruise missiles, improved sensors, and other upgrades. Spruance-class destroyers served in Cold War, Persian Gulf, and post-Cold War operations before the class was retired by 2005.
