The machinery could produce 50,000 horsepower, while Type 275, 282, 293, and 291 radar sets created a dense sensor fit. Supplying those systems demanded substantial electrical generation aboard a destroyer. The retained Fuze Keeping Clock connected the class to British fire-control practice already used in the Tribals. Director arrangements varied because the Mark 37 remained delayed, forcing some ships to use Mark 6 or Mark 7 alternatives. Power supply, sensors, and directors were central parts of the class's combat power rather than add-ons to the guns.
