Background

About the ship

One of the ship designs meant to combine the features of both a destroyer and a cruiser was the preliminary design project of a destroyer leader with a displacement of 1,525 tons. The ship was supposed to have steam turbines with a gearbox, and her armament was to include five 127 mm guns. The predraft project was offered to the Bath Iron Works company, but the latter didn't show much interest, so the U.S. High Navy Command turned its attention to the 2,200-ton leader project.
