The Sumner-class destroyer was a class of naval warships built for the United States Navy during World War II. Designed for anti-submarine warfare and surface combat, these destroyers were known for their speed and firepower. They typically displaced around 2,400 tons and were equipped with a variety of weapons, including torpedoes and naval guns. A total of 105 Sumner-class destroyers were constructed, with the first ship, the USS Sumner, commissioned in 1943. These vessels played a crucial role in various naval operations throughout the war and continued to serve in the post-war era, contributing to the modernization of the U.S. Navy's fleet.
