Officially the Farragut-class after its lead ship, but often known as the Coontz-class after the first ship laid down as a missile destroyer (the first three were later converted), the 10 ships of this class were initially fitted with the Terrier SAM. However later in their life they were upgraded to carry the Standard missile.
