About this book

Electronic Greyhounds: The Spruance-Class Destroyers by Potter, Michael C.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781557506825.

A comprehensive study of the revolutionary Spruance -class (DD 963) destroyers, which emerged from a cloud of controversy to become the mainstays of the current surface fleet, seeing more action since 1980 than all other surface combatants combined. Using information declassified for this volume, the author details destroyer operations off Libya, Grenada, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Soviet Russia, Iran, Iraq, central Africa, and elsewhere. Illustrations show competing DD 963 designs, the progressive modernization of the ships and their weapons, and operations. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
