Reuven Leopold sought non-expert opinions on the appearance of the new Destroyer that Litton was designing for the US Navy, and so approached Litton's aerospace-oriented managers with pictures from Jane's Fighting Ships of a Royal Navy County class Destroyer and US Navy Farragut class Destroyer.
The last example is the BRITISH COUNTY Class Cruiser introduced in the early 1960s (Figures 14 and 15). This ship illustrates that a successful design solution can be achieved with a minimum compromise between maintaining high volume for weapons systems while achieving a well-balanced and good-looking ship. Though the COUNTY Class has a small number of weapons and electronic gear, the ship does avoid the slab-sided, static appearance of U.S. warships because it follows the principle of the Dunn Curve and uses balanced LINES OF FORCE, TUMBLEHOME, Flare and knuckle, coupled with a minimum of perpendicular lines. The COUNTY Class is obviously less pretentious than the Kara and seems to represent the restrained style of a refined British attitude toward shipbuilding. The balance was carried out so well that this ship seems deceptively larger than it is and very purposeful in appearance. Note the intervals of parallels to the sheerline and that very few perpendicular lines are to be seen. All the Lines of Force are coordinated to give the ship a harmonious appearance. Though not as dynamic as those of the Kara, the design does convey a sense of motion. Figure 14. Principal Lines of Force in a Royal Navy COUNTY Class Cruiser. Note the horizontal distribution of the superstructure mass along the length of the ship. There are few abrupt verticals and the ship piles evenly following the Dunn Curve. The design shows a good compromise between a need for high volume and desire for low profile. It is a well proportioned ship which appears to be larger than it really is. Figure 15. Profile Envelope/COUNTY Class Cruiser.

Unfortunate that this paper really seems to have it in for the Spruance class, comparing it negatively in comparison to earlier US DLGs and DDGs and the British County class, when Reuven Leopold very much designed for Spruances to have an impressive silhouette, based upon the County class no less.
While the Spruance has organizational qualities which enhance the ship's appearance, it still suffers from large voids, high volume, and a small number of visible weapons as shown in Figure 9. The abrupt break in the sheerline at the forward end of the massive super-structure has the appearance of a concentrated mass on an inadequate supporting structure. This leads to a most unfortunate psychological effect which gives the ship the appearance of being broken at this point. The Spruance might have been a visually stronger ship if the volume of superstructure had been horizontally distributed. Note the example of a radical reconfiguration of the Spruance in Figures 10 and 11. Notice the strong forward slope and distinctive placement of weapons in the example. The BELKNAP (CG 26) and LEAHY (CG 16) Class Cruisers and the CHARLES F. ADAMS (DDG 2) Class Destroyer of the early 1960 period have distinctive "American" appearances and are about the last U.S. ships to marry effectively the requirements of high volume with impressive styling. The appearance of American warships has not been an important design consideration for a long time. But from a cursory examination of pictures of most of our older ships, until the end of WWII, appearance was a definite design consideration. Figure 9. Principal Lines of Force/SPRUANCE (DD 963) Class Destroyer. -The most dramatic asset in this ship is the sense of forward motion caused by a strong bow line and the stepped forward shape of the masts -The weakest points of this ship are its highsidedness, large voids, lack of horizontals and great between deck interval -Broken sheer line Note: Superstructure falls outside Dunn curve and splits focus forward and aft. There are large voids and highsided planes. Despite some of these factors the ship's composition does have a sense of organization. Its appearance is better than it might have been had function alone been driving the design as appears to be the case in the FFG 7.
