With their nuclear power plants, and the resulting capability of steaming at high speeds for long periods of time, these were excellent escorts for the fast nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, such as the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Their main mission was as air-defense ships, though they did have excellent Flagship facilities, capabilities as anti-submarine (ASW) ships, surface-to-surface warfare (SSW) ships, and in gun and missile bombardment of shore targets.The ships had a relatively short service life. They were so expensive to operate that it was determined that it was more effective to replace them with new conventionally powered ships, so they were decommissioned rather than put them through a refueling overhaul."@en }
