The first Navy ship to feature water-cooled handrails was the USS Newport News (CA-148), a guided missile cruiser. This innovative design was implemented to help manage the heat generated by the ship's equipment and to enhance safety for crew members. The water-cooled handrails were part of broader advancements in naval technology during the mid-20th century.
