Navy of Future Shows its Face in Bay
The USS Gyatt, a 2200-ton guided missile destroyer, moored at Newport in Narragansett Bay marking the first such visit. Based at Norfolk, Virginia, the Gyatt features a double Terrier missile launcher and a forward missile house replacing the traditional deckhouse. The crew noted missiles’ greater accuracy and reduced firing complexity, with a 10 mile range. Delegates to global strategy discussions at the War College observed the ship, signaling more missile destroyers to come.
