"Scheme "B-III" - Destroyer Study"
Preliminary design plan prepared for the General Board as part
of the process leading to the Allen M. Sumner (DD-692)
class design.
This 30 September 1941 plan, for a 2180-ton (standard displacement)
ship, provides two twin 5"/38 dual-purpose gun mounts (one
forward and one atop the after deck house), four twin 40mm anti-aircraft
guns, and two triple torpedo tube mountings.
The original plan is in the 1939-1944 "Spring Styles Book"
held by the Naval Historical Center.
