Leahy class missile cruisers
9 cruisers (1961-64)
9 cruisers (1961-64): USS Leahy, Harry E Yarnell, Worden, Dale, Richmond K Turner, Gridley, England, Halsey, Reeves (DLG-16 to 25).
[wpcode id="43948"]
The
Leahy class cruisers
have a complicated history reflected in their successive denominations, and organizational changes in the USN. After conversion of several WW2 Baltimore and Cleveland class ships into hybrids (or full) missile cruisers from 1955 to 1961, the idea of a large class of "double ender" dedicated escort missile frigates was planned already in 1959, and nine ships (the tenth was converted to nuclear power as USS Bainbridge) built, later reclassed as destroyers leaders, and in 1975, as cruisers, although they were a bit "light" for this role. They were active until the 1990s, experiencing everything between Vietnam and the Gulf War. A complete rewrite and expansion of the 2017 post. #missilecruiser #leahyclass #ussleahy #usnavy #coldwar #vietnamwar #terrier #sm1standard
Development of a new dedicated fleet escort (cruiser)
The need for missile escorts
[caption id="attachment_47173" align="aligncenter" width="640"]
An air to air left rear view of a Soviet Tu-142 Bear F Mod III aircraft being escorted by a US Navy Patrol Squadron 45 (VP-45) P-3 Orion aircraft.[/caption] The 1950s saw the need for a first generation of missile armed large fleet escort, capable ot protecting an entire carrier task force, which can coordinate a combined defence, act as flagships, and dhot down tne latest generation of Soviet fast high altitude bombers, such as the Tu-95 "Bear" (1952) and later the
Tu-142 "Bear-F"
. However to develop a brand new generation of such cruisers, tailored to operate the "three T" (Talos, Tartar, Terrier), especially the first, was estimated to take as long as four or five years. But in 1952 a new war was looming and the USN needed such cruisers now. One solution was chosen as a shortcut, converting existing ones. There was no shortage indeed of recent ww2
Cleveland
and
Baltimore class
ships still in service or recently decommissioned.

Thus, in 1953, conversion of the Terrier-armed hybrid
Boston class
commenced. Next, six Cleveland class were chosen as alternative (Talos and Terrier), the
Galveston and Providence classes
. However the naval staff saw the Cleveland class ships were too light and decided to come back to Baltimore class hulls and converted six more, later curtailed to six, with the
Albany class
), and this time to drop the hybridation, and created full missile conversions with the Talos and Tartar. These mixes of missiles enabled a way to compare their combined use, the Albany class being the most complex and costly missile conversions ever.
The previous Albany class (1960) were almost thrice the displacement of the Leahy class, truly deserving their cruiser designation
And already with the Boston class in service it was realized however that such as large cruiser was not only costlier to convert (the Albany class needed almost four years), but this large ships were also costly to maintain and had very large crews. This realization came already in 1957-58. As an alternative, the Navy also looked after a nuclear-powered escort, which became the
USS Long Beach
, fitted with the same radar as
USS Enterprise
. Like the latter she proved way too complex and costly to built and its large array a failure. So in 1958 it was clear that if more missile cruisers were needed, neither solutions were ideal. Conversions were still seen as interim ships until a brand new cruiser was designed, and this process started already in 1956.
The first dedicated missile cruisers
The idea of double-ended guided-missile launching surface ships originated at the suggestion of
Admiral Sanders
at the head of the Long-Range Shipbuilding and Conversion Committee which also undertook the conversion of the Albany class on the same idea. Characteristics Board Project Number 172 (SBC 172) was promulgated stating clearly "double ended missile frigates". Two designs were studied: -
A Norfolk (DL 1)
class flush deck hull based design -A long forecastle-deck design. The latter won over consideration of seakeeping, costs (it was simpler to built than a flush deck one) and chiefly seakeeping and stability. Missions were aligned on the Farragut Class, focused around AAW/ASW defence of carrier task forces: -Control aircraft from the carrier, vectoring them. -Assume medium range anti-air missile defence with the capabilities of dealing with four bogeys at once -Took part in the ASW defense of the task force at all ranges (missiles and torpedoes)
RIM-67 launch from a Leahy class cruiser
The design was quite radical with no 5-inch gun and so as a tradeoff, two 3-inch/50 twin mounts were placed on the superstructures's sides amidship. This was worth ot as two launchers, four missiles made a better defense bubble, added to more missiles for a prolongated defence against staturation attacks. The core of the specifications for the admiralty board was to create ships really tailored to carry missiles, smaller, with a reduced crew and more automation, cheaper to be built in larger numbers. The best missiles at the time were not the Talos, now seen as soon obsolecent already, but the more promising RIM-2 Terrier, an intermediary medium type missile. Long range defence would still be provided by Albany class ships, also acting as flagships, that the new cruiser class were not. Ideally it was envisioned for the most prominent task forces (1st Atlantic, 6th Mediterranean, 7th Pacific) one Albany, two Leahy, four missile destroyers (Adams class or converted ships), and four ASW Frigates as an ideal format.
Started as destroyer leaders (DLG) under SBC 172
The Leahy-class were originally designated as Destroyer Leaders (DLG), not cruisers indeed, explaining why they ended smaller than the converted cruisers. Much after their entry into service, as the concept of missile destroyer evolved, their denomination cas changed through the
1975 cruiser realignment
and they were reclassified as guided-missile cruisers (CG). As a side note here, the term "SBC" often referred for USN cold war ships here is related to the acronym "Ship Characteristics Board" created in 1945 by the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OpNav) after the General Board's previous experience with ineffective series of earlier Navy bureau miscoordinations. The SCB assigned numbers to its projects from 1946 and many would remain conceptual only, or replaced by other projects. This was more in line in what the Soviet navy did with its Proy'ekt classification and in line with NATO navies own classifications.
The Leahy and Belknap class for comparison (src navypedia)
As fleet escort(frigates) the yet unnamed vessels were designed as "double-ender" and only with the most promising Terrier (later upgraded to the Standard ER). These twin arm missile launchers were located fore and aft. At the time, still designed as frigates, they were the first not having a main gun armament for shore bombardment or classic engagements at sea. This gun was still present on destroyers though. This was quite radical as a concept but an obligation to fit the necessary missile storage, and based on the rather limited 3,500 to 4,000t design proposed at first. One of the principal missions like the
Farragut class
, was take in charge both the anti-air and antisubmarine screen for carrier task forces and controlling aviation interception as well from the carrier, vectoring them to assigned targets thanks to their most advanced radar suite and Command and Control facilities. They were still not large enough to be considered as flagships, but "leaders" anyway (for destroyers). Meanwhile the designed evolved as "destroyers" and reached the 5000t standard displacement to fit in many contradictory specifications.
USS Gridley underway late 1960s
To also not waist time in design, they just recuperated the trusted propulsion plant of the Farragut class, in a modified hull, no longer flush deck, but with a return to the forecatle and knuckled “hurricane” bow reducing plunging in rough seas and keeping the forecastle dry. This kind of hull was later also adopted by the
Spruance class destroyers
. The forward missile launcher also needed to stay dry. What however was new, were an expanded electrical plant to serve not only the planned electronics suite, power-hungry, but also had some room for extra power for future upgrades. The last point linked to the powerplant and unlike the Farragut, was increased endurance. Their main design innovation howere compared to the Farragut class was their use of "macks" (combined masts and stacks), more advanced than those fitted on the Albany class. These supported heavier radars without smoke interference, on an even more sturdy basis than derricks, and avoid installations of these. This was a solution to reduce stability issues as well by cutting down sources of top weight.
Final Approval and Construction
Ten ships were planned at first. They were planned FY1959 for the first batch, FY1960 and FY1961 for the second and third, while the tenth ship was cancelled in her original configuration and converted to nuclear power to test how practicable was a smaller, cheaper alternative to the USS Long Beach, based on the Leahy (see below, Bainbridge).

Design

Hull and general design
The general design of the Leahy class was unlike anything made before. They had a very long forecastle ending aft, to the second deck missile launcher and with a semi-transom stern opening an area usable as helicopter spot (still no hangar), which was now a common feature on ships larger than destroyers. In addition the large hull with a pronounced clipper bow had fine entries but "fuller" hull shape, creating almost a parallelepipedic volume for most of the lenght. The same shame was adopted for the Belknap class and derivatives, the lenghtened Bainbridge and Truxtun. The other preculiarity was the use of a knuckle on the bow, never seen in the USN and more proper to the Royal Navy, which used it on cruisers from the interwar onwards. This feature was proper to the Leahy/Belknap series but not repeated on the later California/West Virginia classes nor Ticonderoga and Spruance.
Overview of USS England underway 27 February 1992, close to the end of her career, and considerably more capable than in 1965.
The final design as approved in 1959 stated a light displacement of c5,150 tonnnes standard and 7,800 tons fully loaded, a differences that spoke volumes about the missile weight and reserves they carried. That's almost 3,000 tonnes of difference ! As for the hull, it was most definitely cruiser size (at least compared to a ww2
Atlanta class
) with a length of 533 ft (162 m), a beam of 55 ft (17 m) and a draft of 26 ft (7.9 m).
3D profile, showing how compact was the design.
The superstructures were centered in the middle of the ship to keep less space, something alike the late WW2 cruisers redesigns, such as the Oregon City class. They freed 2/3 of the hull space for the missile, placed in the centerline with a generous arc of fire forward, between the twin Terrier and ASROC behind. In fact the bulky bridge started past the 1/3 forward sectoon of the hull. The two forward radar FCS (one for each launcher arm) were superfiring, placed on the roof, and the forward mack followed, taller, exactly amidships and supporting the largest array as well as a secondary mast at its rear for lighter arrays and antennae. A smaller, two deck high structure then extended further aft, down to the end of the forecastle, with the second mack, and further away the two after superfiring FCS for the aft launcher, located one deck lower for stability. The large reload system was located behind, entering the inner hull down into the forecastle and to the main deck (waterline). Thse ships had three anchors, two on either side and one in the axis of the bow. The ASW torpedo tubes, service boats, rescue inflatable boats, RAS apparatus, cranes and extra space existed on the side of the superstructure, allowing further upgrades in the future. At the end of the day the Leahy appeared compact, well balanced and relatively aesthetic ships. This compact design also made them the smallest U.S. Navy ships ever classified as cruisers, at least in modern times.
Powerplant

The Leahy class repeated a classic powerplant repeated on ships of the 1950-60s, with two propellers, driven by two steam turbines, fed by four admiralty boilers providing 85,000 shp (63 MW). Top speed was 32 knots (59 km/h; 37 mph) and Range was 8,000 nautical miles (15,000 km; 9,200 mi) at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).
Armament

The "double ended" configuration had many reasons, notably a better arc of fire for two twin launchers, but this practice stopped with Vertical Launch Systems (VLS) that can be stuck anywhere, regardless of the arc of fire. The fire control systems were thus easier to distribute on the ship. It was also reasoned that double-ended warship could only manage a single gun at best. This task of old school shore bombardment and defence against another ships (soon made obsolete by better antiship missiles, but still uncertain in 1960), could be devolved to the escorting destroyers or converted cruisers (Sheman, Mistcher, Farragut and Adams, even the 1975 Spruance had batteries as well as the hybrid cruisers). This classic part of the bilogy (anti-ship, anti-air) was just swapped for anti-air and ASW and all missile-based. This made the Leahy class certainly the most innovative (and risky) ship at the time.
RIM-2 Terrier Missiles

The RIM-2 Terrier is a surface-to-air missile system that was developed by the United States in the mid-20th century. It played a significant role in the U.S. Navy's fleet defense systems during the Cold War. The development of the RIM-2 Terrier began in the late 1940s, and it was one of the first operational surface-to-air missile systems in the world. It was primarily designed to provide defense against aircraft and anti-ship missiles. The Terrier missile system went through several variants and upgrades over the years, including Terrier, Terrier ER (Extended Range), Terrier Oriole, Terrier-Mark 7, and Terrier-Mark 10. These variants had different ranges, speed, and capabilities. The Terrier missile system used a sloped ramp reload, twin arm launch system, fore and aft. The conveyor belt and stores were located below the weather deck. It was a medium range missile, with several tens of miles and could engage targets at altitudes of tens of thousands of feet. It used radar and radio command guidance to track and intercept targets with associated radar systems, four mounts fore and aft with independent channels. There were teething issues with the Terrier. It was a very complex system using with 100 vacuum tubes and 1,000 resistors which had to function under harsh and very diverse conditions. Weighing over a ton it was supersonic speed in three seconds, captured by the radar beam right after launc and guided all the way to its target. The RIM-2 Terrier was replaced by the Standard Missile (SM-1) after refit.

RUR-5A ASROC launcher
The RUR-5 ASROC (Anti-Submarine Rocket) is an anti-submarine missile system developed by the United States Navy. ASROC was first introduced in the 1960s and has gone through several upgrades and variations over the years. Its primary purpose is to launch a rocket-propelled depth charge or a torpedo from a ship or submarine to attack and destroy enemy submarines. ASROC was installed in front of the bridge, aft of the forward Terrier ramp and reload system. Eight could be fired, no reload, from the armoured box magazine. The missiles could aletrnatively be fitted with depth charges, or a Mark 46 torpedo. The missiles were vectored to the located point by sonar, and the torpedo then followed its acoustic guidance to the target.

The rear superstructure had recesses to allow a full 360° traverse of the mounts. The bank can be pointed by an operator with electric drive and manual backup and torpedo reload was manual. Note, the Mark 46 was just introduced (1967) as these cruisers were completed. They were probably equipped prior with the Mark 44.

Modifications
At the end of the Viet-Nam war (1968-73) these ships experienced their first upgrade, to include the NTDS fire management system, SPG-55B guidance radar, coupled with the new SM-1 Standard Launchers, and two pairs of 76mm AA guns. were added (at last for still many officers not comfortable with the idea of missile only ships -or Pdt.Kennedy...). These were removed later in the 1970s for the two quadruple Harpoon missile ramps giving them the anti-ship capability they lacked. Finally, in the 1980s, their last overhaul (NTU program) gave them the SPS49 radar, CME SQL-32 system, and two Phalanx guns, even two close range 0.5-in M2HB HMGs. Arrived at their limit, they were decommissioned in 1993-1994 and scrapped afterwards.
1st Upgrade Programme (1967-1972)
In 1967 and 1968 USS Leahy and later Harry E. Yarnell, Worden, Gridley, England and Reeves had their two twin arm Terrier (and associated SPG-55) replaced by two Standard SM-1MR SAM (80 RIM-66) ass coated with the SPS-43 and SPG-55B radars, but also installation of the NTDS CCS This was delayed until 1972 for USS Dale, Richmond K. Turner, Halsey. By the late 1970s, USS Harry E. Yarnell, Richmond K. Turner, Gridley, Halsey and Reeves had their two twin 3-in/50 Mk.33 removed as well as the associated Mk 35 radars. In place, two quad canisters of Harpoon SSM (8 RGM-84A) were added as well as the LN-66 radar installed for them. This was done in the early 1980s for USS Leahy, Worden, Dale and England. Before this in the late 1970s, USS Leahy, Worden, Dale, England received two six-tubes 20mm/76 Mk 15 Phalanx CIWS and the Mk 90 FCS radars associated. USS Harry E. Yarnell, Richmond K. Turner, Gridley, Halsey, Reeves only received theirs in the 1980s.
2nd Upgrade, NTU Programme (1985-87)
USS Halsey in Drydock, 1990
This upgrade started in the early 1980s with their Standard SM-1MR replaced by SM-2ER and four 0.5 in/90 M2HB HMGs installed, no electronics change. USS Harry E. Yarnell had its SQS-23 sonar replaced by a SQQ-23B PAIR sonar. In 1987 to 1989, USS England, Leahy, Harry E. Yarnell, Dale, Worden, Richmond K. Turner had their NTU modernisation: This including the removal of the SPS-37, SPS-39, SPS-43, SPS-10F, SPG-55B radars, WLR-1 and WLR-3 ECM suites as well as the Mk 28 decoy rocket launchers. Instead were installed one SPS-48A, the SPS-49(v)3, SPS-67, and four SPG-55C fire control radars as well as the SLQ-32(v)3 ECM suite and four new Mk 36 SRBOC decoy launchers. In 1990 only USS Gridley and Halsey had their NTU modernisation performed the same way, and Reeves followed last on the same pattern, same year. This was not to serve them long, as they were discarded in 1993-94.

The case of USS Bainbridge (CGN-25)
Laid down as a frigate, and soon modified as a nuclear-powered cruiser from the start, USS Bainbridge was called at first DLGN-25 (nuclear-powered guided missile destroyer leader), and it was changed in 1975 by CGN-25. Commissioned in 1962, she remained the only nuclear on-slip conversion of the class, and served for over 30 years in the Atlantic, Pacific, Mediterranean, and Middle East before decommissioned in 1996, just two years after the last of her sisters. She diverged considerably in size and displacement, since basically her hull was stretched with the extra section containing the nuclear reactor installation. Displacing 9100 tons fully loaded, she measured 565 ft (172 m) overall so ten meters more than the class. Beam and draft were the same. Her powerplant included two General Relectric D2G type nuclear reactors for a total output of 60,000 shp as the overheated steam boilers were still there, as the Geared Turbines and same 2 propellers. To speed was a bit better at 34 kn (63 km/h; 39 mph) but of course Range was unlimited. The crew was larger, 556 with 43 Officers and 513 enlisted men. It seems she was modernized, her Terrier removed and replaced by SM-2s but it was essentially the same (as the radar suite) as the Belknap class: 2 RIM-2 Terrier, 3-inch/50 AA, MK 112 ASROC, 2x3 12.75 in (324 mm) ASWTTs. Later the AA guns were removed for the installations of two quad Harpoon SSM and since they were longer, spaced was found for two quad armored box canisters for BGM-109 Tomahawk missiles and two Phalanx CIWS. The similar conversion was done on the tenth Belknap class. They were essentially prototypes for the California class that followed.
