Originally a guided missile destroyer leader, the class was re-designated guided missile cruiser in 1975. Statistically and mechanically speaking, ''Bainbridge'' (DLGN-25) was virtually identical to the ''Leahy''-class except for the replacement of her four 1200 psi boilers with two D2G reactors. Because of the greater maintenance requirements of 1960s nuclear reactors, ''Bainbridge'' carried 23 more crew members than ''Leahy.'' The lessons learned on ''Bainbridge'' were later adapted to the next nuclear-powered ship, USS Truxtun (CGN-35) USS ''Truxtun'' (CGN-35) and the ''California'' and ''Virginia'' classes of nuclear-powered cruiser. {{USN-stub}} {{Bainbridge class cruiser}} Category:Cruiser classes Category:Bainbridge class cruisers *
