Summary

Description The U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer USS Goldsborough (DDG-20) lies at anchor off Mina Sulman, Bahrain, on 1 December 1986. Note that Goldsborough was one of only three Charles F. Adams -class destroyers to receive the New Threat Upgrade (NTU). This consisted of a number of sensor, weapons and communications upgrades that were intended to extend the service lives of the ships. Under the NTU, these destroyers received improved electronic warfare capability through the installation of the AN/SLQ-32(V)2 electronic warfare suite. The upgraded combat system included the Mark 86 gun fire control system with AN/SPQ-9 radar and the AN/SPG-60 fire control radar (both visible above the bridge), the Hughes AN/SPS-52C 3D radar, the AN/SPG-51C (Digital) fire control radars, and the Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS).
