Project history: Iran ordered six (later reduced to four) anti-aircraft versions of the Spruance class in 1973-74. They were assigned the USN hull numbers DD993-998. Two (DD995 and 997) were cancelled in 1976 before they were ordered, order for four ships was issued 23.4.1978, on the same day DD996 and 998 were reclassified as DD995 and 996. During Iranian revolution DD995 and 996 were cancelled 3.2.1979 and DD993 and 994 on 31.3.1979. They were offered for sale, and all four were purchased by USN as the Kidd dass in July 1979, receiving DDG hull numbers in the Spruance series. As in the case of Virginia class cruisers, they have magazine stowage for 68 missiles, with two SPG-51D guidance radars plus an SPG-60. The greatly increased displacement of the Kidds is due in part to the addition of armour. A thirty-first Spruance, DD997, was authorised in FY78 with the proviso that it had increased helicopter facilities; however, she was identical to the 30 earlier ships already ordered, except for the provision of Kevlar armour and an SPS-49 air search radar. The Reagan Administration FY83-FY87 programme included three more ships of this type in FY86-FY87, out of a planned total of six. None was built.
