Looking over alot of sources, you can find a range of information on the base FFG-7 design.
From Norman Freidmans US Destroyers an Illustrated Design History:
Loa 445ft
Lwl 408ft
Beam 47.4ft
Draft 14.4ft
Loads 838.0 LT
C3 Weight 98.7 LT
Margin 0 LT
40 x SM1 missiles
24 12.75in torps
The 12th Edition of "The Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet" from 1981 lists the following data:
Power 40,000shp
COGAG Plant
Single Screw
1 x SPG-60 Radar
The book goes on to note that a single Phalanx CIWS, a RAST helo haul down system, and an SQR19 towed array will eventually be fitted to the ships. Thus the displacement and draft listed above
does not include these items.
The 13th Edition of "The Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet" from 1984 lists the following data:
Power 40,000shp
COGAG Plant
Single Screw
1 x CIWS Mk16
1 x STIR Radar
The 18th Edition of "The Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet" from 2005 lists the following data:
Full Load Displacement (Long Hull Ships) 3,900 4,100 LT (3.963 - 4,166mt)
Power 40,000shp
COGAG Plant
Single Screw
Manning 218 (16 Officers & 202 enlisted) plus 21 man LAMPS detachment (6 officers & 15
enlisted)
1 x CIWS Mk15
1 x STIR Radar
1 x SLQ-25A NIXIE
1 x SLQ-32 EW System
An article from a 1983 issue of Marine Technology (by the Society of Naval Architects and Marine
Engineers) provides the following additional information:
However, it also gives some trials resistance data that comes from the ship at a slightly different
condition, as below:
Wind 14 to 24 kts
Sea State 2
CB ~ 0.449
CP ~ 0.597
CM ~ 0.752
CWP ~ 0.729
And below is the trials resistance (corrected to account for the effects of the wind) in terms of
Effective Horsepower versus Speed in kts.
