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.

1 x Mk13 Mod 4 missile launcher (w/ 40 missiles)
1 x 76mm/62cal mk75 gun
1 x CIWS Mk16
2 x Triple Mk32 Torpedo Tubes
1 x SPS-49 Air Search Radar
1 x SPS-55 Surface Search Radar
1 x SQR 19 Towed Array
1 x SQS-56 Keel Mounted Sonar
1 x Mk 13 Weapons Direction System
1 x Mk 92 Weapon Fire Control System
1 x STIR Radar
The 18th Edition of "The Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet" from 2005 lists the following data:

Light Ship (Long Hull) 3,210LT (3,262mt)
Sustained Speed 29kts
Power 40,000shp
COGAG Plant
Single Screw
Range 5,000nm @ 18kts or 4,200nm @ 20kts
Manning 218 (16 Officers & 202 enlisted) plus 21 man LAMPS detachment (6 officers & 15
enlisted)
Missiles removed (but parts of launcher remaining)
1 x 76mm/62cal mk75 gun
1 x CIWS Mk15

An article from a 1983 issue of Marine Technology (by the Society of Naval Architects and Marine
Engineers) provides the following additional information:
Length Overall 445.0 ft (125.6m)
Length Between Perpendiculars 408.0 ft (124.4m)
Extreme Breadth 47.0 ft (14.3m)
Displacement 3720 tons (3780mt)
Propeller Diameter 16.5ft (5.0m)
However, it also gives some trials resistance data that comes from the ship at a slightly different
condition, as below:
Displacement 3400 tons (3454mt)
Wind 14 to 24 kts
Sea State 2
Trim by Stern 1.06 ft (0.33m)
Mean Draft 14.36 ft (4.38m)
Ship Wetted Surface Area 19,960 sq ft (1854 sq m)
And from Model Tests done to compare to the Trials data
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.
