I had the pleasure? of doing reserve duty on these last three tin cans. Sorry I have no more to contribute at this time. H2O 21:10, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Description
The 'Description' section covers a large amount of information, that would benefit from having it's own subsection. For example 'Role', 'Capabilities', 'Action' etc. ShockwaveLover (talk) 16:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Questions
''Section originally unsigned - created 2008, shockwaver lover (by looking at history  1) I thought the "mack" (mast - stack) was fairly prominent on this type, and worthy of mention Agree. 2) McNamara's folly - the cited article mentions concerns about the reliability of a single-screw design, not the speed. 27 knots seems like a pretty good clip for escorting a convoy (WWII era corvette was maybe 16 knots I think) More the size - and seems like much less weapons compare to an Adams Class DDG or a WWII Destroyer. 3) Also I thought the gun criticism related to the single-gun concept, rather than the 5-inch size Agree. 4) Not sure what a "pressure fired" boiler is - can someone link or explain? Was the design change to reduce the boiler steam pressure, thereby resulting in a size increase? (I'm imaging a high pressure boiler develops more power in the same space as a lower pressure unit) The Brooke and prior Garcia class had these. Normal boiler have fans, they had a supercharger- exhaust gas drove it air provided at a pressure. Same boiler water/ steam pressure. That design included automatic controls, Burner on Top, furnace space was a cylinder., MUCH less fire brick. Required cleaner fuel- NO black oil. Half the weight, same output. However, MUCH less forgiving to boiler water NO optimal conditions. I need to dig out my old stuff find and scan the picture Wfoj3 (talk) 19:41, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
