About This Title:
Intended as a follow-on to the Forrest Sherman class destroyers the ship was
originally designated as DD-952. Outwardly similar to the Sherman class, Charles
F. Adams was the first U.S. Navy ship designed from the keel up to launch anti-aircraft
missiles. To reflect the increased capabilities of the ship and to distinguish
it from previous destroyer designs, Charles F. Adams was re-designated DDG-2
prior to the ship's launching.
