March 2004

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) Another comment from me- in the early 1990s the Navy had the concept of a Training Frigate31 December 1991 assignment to the Naval Reserve Force, reclassified as a training frigate (FFT-1084). eight ships of her class which received this redesignation.

Hull	Name
FFT 1078	JOSEPH HEWES
FFT 1079	BOWEN
FFT 1084	MCCANDLESS
FFT 1085	DONALD B BEARY
FFT 1089	JESSE L BROWN
FFT 1090	AINSWORTH
FFT 1095	TRUETT

became part of Reserve Forces - would have had unknown a 60% size regular crew, and 4 reserve detachments - each did the once a month drills a different weekend.

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)[reply]

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
