Year: 2001 Language: english Author: Steve. Wiper Genre: History Publisher: Classic Warships Edition: Warship Pictorial 12 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 74 Description: The Benson class was an improved Sims class with two offset boilers as opposed to one. They share the same basic hull, but the Bensons are distinguished by their second funnel. Benson and Gleaves are sometimes all lumped into the Benson class but actually represent two different classes. The contract to build these ships was awarded to two different shipbuilders, the Bethlehem Steel and the Gibbs & Cox firms. The Benson class had their own machinery design, while the Gibbs & Cox used the USN Bureau of Engineering designed high pressure machinery. These ships are also sometimes referred to as Benson / Livermore class, but the Livermoore was actually a ship in the Gleaves class. This class of Destroyer was the third most numerous next to the Fletcher and Gearing classes, but unlike those ship classes there were almost no two ships that were identical. Those many different variations are well documented in this book.
