Loran Litton

The second ship built by Litton's

Ingalls Shipbuilding division,

Pascagoula, Miss., for the U.S.

Navy's Aegis guided missile de- stroyer program was christened

Stout. The new ship, designated

DDG 55, is the fifth vessel of the

Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) Class.

Litton is currently contracted to build 10 of the ships, with the Stout scheduled for delivery in 1994.

Admiral Jeremy M. Boorda,

USN, Commander-in-Chief, U.S.

Naval Forces, Europe and Com- mander-in-Chief, Allied Forces,

Southern Europe, delivered the prin- cipal address; his wife, Mrs. Bettie

Boorda, was the ship's sponsor.

The destroyer is 504 feet long, with a beam of 59 feet and a 30.7- foot draft. Four General Electric gas turbine engines, generating 100,000 hp, drive the 8,300-ton ship to speeds in excess of 30 knots.

DDG 55's Aegis combat system includes: the AN/SPY-ID phased ar- ray radar; the MK-41 vertical launching system, which can fire a combination of up to 90 missiles against air, surface and underwater threats; the AN/SQQ-89 antisubmarine warfare system with bow and towed sonar arrays; Har- poon antiship missiles; MK-32 tor- pedo tubes; MK-15 Phalanx Close- in Weapons Systems; a five-inch rapid-firing deck gun; and the

LAMPS MK-III helicopter control and landing system.

DDG 55 becomes the first Navy ship named to honor Rear Admiral

Herald F. Stout (1903-1987), a he- roic Navy destroyerman of World

War II.
