Oct 1961 to Oct 1962 Armament 

The following information was moved to the talk page from main article   

At least During my Duty on the USS Newell (DER322) between Oct1961 and Oct1962 she was armed with enclosed dual 3"-50 Cal. Guns and two Hedge Hog Antisubmarine Munitions Launchers, among other things. As to when the Gun complement was changed will need to be investigated by others. My memory is Vague as to if we had two or three such dual mounts. All of them were capable of coupling to a Flying Bridge level Gun fire director for coordinated targeting. At the same time we had both a surface search radar and a separate Air Search radar installation. From my memories, we had four 10 cylinder F-M Opposed Crank Diesel main engines, two per shaft, and additional 8 cylinder F-M Opposed Crank Diesels coupled to Generators for ships Electric Power.
