Since their introduction in 1975, Spruance (DD 963)-class destroyers have revolutionized the U.S. Navy. This book describes how the ships emerged from a cloud of controversy to become the mainstays of today's surface fleet. Solidly based on official documents and firsthand experience by key participants, it is the first complete account of the warships that have seen more action since 1980 than all other surface combatants combined.
