USS Timmerman (DD-828)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Timmerman (DD-828) was originally planned as a Gearing-class destroyer in the United States Navy.
Work was temporarily suspended on January 7, 1946 at 45.5% completion. She was later completed as an experimental destroyer, EDD-828. Designed to occupy the same space in standard Gearing engine spaces, Timmerman's machinery was designed to generate 100,000 SHP vs. the Gearing's 60,000 SHP. She had an aluminum superstructure.
Timmerman was removed from the United States Navy List on April 4, 1958 and sold for scrap April 21, 1959.
