About DDG-968:
The 8,040-ton USS Arthur W Radford (DD 968) was the eighth Spruance
Class destroyer to be built. She was commissioned on 16 April 1977,
and was notably made the test platform for the NavyÂ’s AEM/S
(Advanced Enclosed Mast System) in 1998. This system is easily
identifiable with its unique mast superstructure that encloses
antennas and sensitive equipment, with the added benefit of a
reduced radar signature and less maintenance. The revolutionary
mast also allows the incorporation of new technology in the future
generation of stealthy ships.
