The Fletcher-Class Destroyer was a class of naval destroyers built by the United States during World War II. Designed for anti-submarine warfare, these ships were known for their speed, agility, and firepower. A total of 175 Fletcher-class destroyers were commissioned, making them one of the most numerous classes of destroyers in history. These ships featured advanced radar and sonar systems, allowing them to detect and engage enemy vessels effectively. The Fletcher-class was equipped with a variety of armaments, including torpedoes and anti-aircraft guns, which made them versatile in combat. Their design influenced later destroyer classes, including the Gearing-Class and Sumner-Class.
