By 82kFleet Admiral Ernest J. King ,1878-1956, American admiral, commander in chief of the U.S. fleet (1941�45), b. Lorain, Ohio. A graduate of Annapolis, he distinguished himself in many branches of naval service, including the submarine and air arms. In World War I he was assistant chief of staff to Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander of the Atlantic Fleet. King himself commanded (Feb.�Dec., 1941) the Atlantic Fleet and then became commander of the U.S. naval forces.

Turner (CG 20). Both ships were originally built as guided missile "frigates" (DLG), the Farraguts being, in fact, the immediate predecessors to the Leahys, but they looked quite different: the Richmond K. Turner was a "double ender" (i.e., with missile launchers forward and aft) and introduced the "macks" (combination of mast and stack), while the King had an undeniable destroyer heritage.Fabio Pe�a 95kThough the setting sun reduces visibility, this photo shows differences in size and appearance between what would eventually be the oldest and the newest classes of active destroyers in the U.S. Navy: the Spruance-class, represented by USS Arthur W. Radford (DD 968) and the Farragut-class, represented by USS King (DDG 41). Taken at Barcelona, Spain, on July 21, 1979.Fabio Pe�a 129kDN-SN-83-00264.
