Introducing the Joshua Humphreys — American Tier ★ destroyer, a formidable vessel that showcases the innovative design choices made during the development of the Allen M. Sumner-class and Gearing-class destroyers.
During the design process, the possibility of equipping the ships with long-barreled 127 mm/54-caliber guns in single or twin mounts was carefully considered. However, it became clear that there simply wasn't enough space on the existing hull to accommodate the necessary equipment and systems for these powerful guns. Redesigning the entire ship from scratch was not a feasible option due to time constraints and logistical challenges.
Another potential upgrade that was explored was replacing the 40 mm Bofors guns with automatic 76 mm guns. While this would have provided a significant boost in firepower, it would have also resulted in a noticeable increase in displacement. Ultimately, this development option was abandoned in favor of maintaining the balance and efficiency of the vessel.
The Joshua Humphreys destroyer pays homage to the ingenuity and strategic decision-making that went into the design of its predecessors. With its sleek and streamlined profile, advanced weaponry, and cutting-edge technology, this destroyer is ready to take on any challenge that comes its way. Experience the power and precision of the Joshua Humphreys destroyer in battle and dominate the seas like never before.
