You are quite right, that was the original, as built specs....  We took her into FRAM in Jan 1963 @ Phillie Shipyard....  There are a couple of pics. on Images Gallery under blogs, kerminator, look and will be glad to send these plus a couple of more I have to the site you listed on the reply...   

Yes I spent many a day and night steaming on the Furse...  Once out of FRAM, she was just a DD....  They removed the Azimuth Radar...  Up graded the sonar, and radars...  Removed one of the 5 inch mounts, and put in a helo deck, w. Chopper...

I will be writing on our face to face with death on the next few blogs...   Thanks for your reply...   See ya... K
