Believe it or not, budgetary politics played as much role in designing the Arleigh Burke class destroyer as naval engineers did. So let's take a look at the entire story of how the Burke-class came to be while focusing on the most revolutionary part - the Aegis Combat System. This is #notwhatyouthink #nwyt #longs

Cruise speed for those destroyers are 20 knots, a cruise ships cruise around 13-16 knots and tops at 23-26 knots, some do faster, like "Queen Elizabeth 2" some can do 34 knots, but then she is designed after Ocean liner standards and not Cruise ships standards. An Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is capable to do more than 30 knots.

@@swaghauler8334 The LCS are unreliable and underarmed. Maybe the reliability issues could not have been foreseen, but the weapons (37mm main gun, RAM self defense missile system) was horrible from the outset. The Perry's were designed to be able to escort merchant convoys and could shoot the SM-1, had a 76mm gun, and a CIWS.

The same way that they took the USS Kitty Hawk CVA-63 class carrier and modified it into the USS Enterprise CVN into the 10 USS Nimitz CVN's, and now into the USS Gerald Ford CVN's, thru modernization updates. The hulls and flight deck are basically the same layout design, except CVN-65 eight nuclear reactors, the Nimitz class hull was modified with two large reactors. Both classes are rated at 280,000 shaft horsepower. All have approximately 1,110 foot length hulls, hull beam is basically the same. The flight decks dimensions about the same. The Gerald Ford CVN has 3 deck edge aircraft handling elevators, compared to the Kitty Hawks, Enterprise, and Nimitz's 4 deck edge elevators. Of course the most striking visual difference is the Gerald Ford's island superstructure. The Enterprise and Nimitz CVN's have 4 rudders compared to the 4 Kitty Hawk CV's and Gerald Ford CVN's having only 2 rudders. All carried approximately the same number of air squadrons. All of them could do 30+ knots.

11:15 And most importantly -- Aegis allows the integration of multiple ships (or indeed, platforms) to a single network with a single set of data (ID, importance etc) for each target, making it highly capable of mitigating a saturation attack since all targeting and intercepting measures of the entire network are used in an integral way, hence no under- or over-targeting. This is the only way to stop a swarm of missiles.
@masonborden5594
@masonborden5594 Год назад
Aegis is the united states strongest weapon. Our biggest stick. Our best plan. Ive seen a joint combat exercise where an arleigh burke, some carrier (i forget. Its been years and i love destroyers not metal islands) an air recon plane from the airforce, an apache, and 4 squads of marines with radios, small recon drones and a few tablets, all of these things linked. I was in the apache. My nav hud suddenly showed me the entire field of the exercise. The acting commander of the exercise designated targets, gathered data, and called for execute. 3 minutes and it was over. 30 cardboard man silhouettes, 5 mock tanks, 4 wooden patrol boats and one empty hull of an old destroyer. All confirmed to be destroyed, sunk, or kia. Aegis lets one man see the whole battle. Not just maps and toy soldiers. Hard data of the entire situation, being fed live. We came to call the head of aegis exercises the position of "zeus". Because they were sitting in a gods throne watching rhe whole battle and dictating it all.
@masonborden5594
@masonborden5594 Год назад
In short. Aegis is like the fking eye of sauron. But it cant be blinded by a single event. It sees all and watches all. Having done training and exercises with other countries, seeing their systems. And what intel we have on russia and china. Nobody in the world has anything close. Sure, each single piece of our military, down to the bones of each sailor, soldier, airman and marine. All of that is some of the best the world has to offer sure. But when you have a system that is the sum of all these things, sees all, knows all. Its unstoppable. Aegis can tell all nearby allied forces anything they want to know.

I was one of the sailors specially trained on the MK 92 fire control system. I conducted maintenance, troubleshot any problems, and operated the system. I was privileged enough to have been the operator during a missile exercise where our ship scored a "skin-to-skin" hit on a telemetry missile. The information indicated the FFG's fire control system could only update the target information every 4 seconds. That's not entirely correct. The MK 92 system had its own search radar separate from the main search radar system. It was called the Combined Antenna System (CAS), which also incorporated a tracking radar as well. It is the "egg" looking thing above the bridge. The MK 92 search radar updated target information every second. Secondly, the video highlighted CIWS (Close-In Weapon System) or Phalanx on the Ticonderoga Class Cruiser (CG). Just for the audience's information, the FFGs were also equipped with them. Fun Fact, a Pegasus class hydrofoil was also shown in the video. That ship had the MK 92 fire control system as well.

The mk13 lancher is still used on the Taiwan destroyer that used to be a Kidd class US destroyer in the 80s. It was the last ship to use the mk13 and it about the same firepower and size as the burke , just that it can only fire 2 missles at a time before reloading. For Sm2 and over 100km shots against aircraft that should be fine and make little difference its only when you get swarmed by heaps of anti ship missles where the VLS really comes in handy. Australia did a test on its Anzac class frigate and it shot down 8 missles that were all fired at the same time towards the ship in training something that the mk13 would not be able to do

The Simple Truth - In 1980, the U.S. Navy initiated design studies for what would become the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. The first ship of the class was commissioned on 4 July 1991. The core design, the foundation of these ships was designed at least 30-35 years ago, in a time when no-one enviaged that they would need greater capacity to handle the needs of 2022. Plain and simple reason.
@chesterlynch9533

Good video but there's some slight errors. USED Belknap got it's superstructure squashed due to the weight of aircraft carrier deck and even a steel superstructure won't survive that encounter. There's a reason why Navies still continue using aluminum superstructure due to weight savings. Most of the time, the problem isn't on aluminum superstructure but on the spaces where aluminum and steel is joined due to the difference properties of the two metals. Secondly, USN could still improve or make the Burkes larger but it's the electric generation which the Burkes are already maxed out at 12 MW is the problem. DDG(X) isn't supposed to only have 32 Mk41 VLS shown in the earliest since the Navy wants DDG(X) to have either 96 VLS or more. You can see on the model that you've shown that it still has a VLS launchers amidship and USN could install a VLS payload module for CPS HGV.

That's what I love about the Royal Navy's SAMSON radar. It has the electronic (near) 360° near instant contact detection and AESA panels, just like SPY-1's PESA panels But then, to make it _even faster_ they then _spun_ the panels! 2 panels and they spin at 30 revolutions per minute, so you add those two rates together and scan is very fast and, sadly, very classified. But until the release of SPY-1's AESA upgrade, SPY-6, it was the fastest and most powerful radar in the world. It is currently looking at an upgrade to 4 panels, 3 vertical to replace the current 2 and 1 horizontal for ABM duties with the new Aster missiles with ABM capability.

Honestly the US was rumored to be just on the brink of laser weapons for half a century now. It's a very easy fantasy to believe in but there have honestly been no real developments in the field to really suggest that. There are numerous much more realistic contenders. Batteries for one, have you heard about them recently? Oh they only underwent insane evolution, and have become way more capable, and have been put into a position that helps this development further. Battery powered early warning and other surveillance aircraft sound like a dream to me, especially on an aircraft carrier. Radars of course are definitely one to watch out for. But for a new field of warfare, computers. There's no such thing as an impossible to crack encryption, only one which takes too much time. But what if computers become even better? There's a good chance that we just won't have an algorithm convenient enough, to multiply the time it takes to crack the code, but not the time it takes to use it. In that case the encryption strength can be raised symmetrically. In a way that would increase it's difficulty both for user and intruder. And this will no doubt require powerful computers. Also better guidance for missiles, maybe for autonomous vehicles.

Directed energy weapons aren't close, they are already here. However they don't work quite like they do in science fiction. They are great for damaging Electronics or even like aircraft but you can't sink ships with them or even shoot down fast jets, at least not yet. The simple reality is that even a little handheld laser in science fiction is basically a superweapon whereas in the real world there are a number of inconvenient physical factors that make them much less effective (diffusion, the fraction, blooming, ablative interference, etc). The first truly capable laser weapons introduced into serial production for active service are going to be defensive for a very long time.

The frigates were mothballed because the Navy could not provide crews for each ship. Same thing with the A. B. Destroyers.

And given that the DDG(X) is gonna succeed both the earlier flights of Arleigh Burke-Class Guided Missile Destroyers and the Ticonderoga-Class Guided Missile Cruisers, it should have all the room to host future technologies, and if it runs out of room, it should also have the ability to expand within reasonable margins

I think its worth mentioning the Ghost Fleet doctrine. The Navy will be over half autonomous in a couple decades. It might be more like the Air Force in that it makes small batches of a new ship every few years with specific applications - this would work well for a battle group. One ship (autonomous) acts purely for carrying missiles, another for detecting submarines, a submarine specifically for attacking submarines and all of this around a manned ship acting as a data and command hub (but it is 200 miles behind the battle group to stay out of range) .

(I didn't serve aboard the Big E, but did visit her several times, one being an 8 hour dependants day cruise/tiger cruise off San Francisco in 83). Eventually, those mid-era NTDS panels came down and other radar replaced them tol the Ticos got the SPY-1A/etc stuff.

​@@davidsyes5970 I know just about the USS Norton Sound as a test platform for the AN/SPY-1 (1973) and the preceding phased-array AN/SPG-59 (1962). Since the USS Norton Sound's engines could only produce 9MW, there was a natural limit to the amount of power which could be diverted from propulsion into the radar system. I doubt that it could draw as much power as the AN/SPY-1A and later series (up to 6MW at full power). Well, it is probably true that the SPY-1A and especially the SPY-1B (and later) had a "tighter beam", allowing for more efficiency and lower average power (only 58kW), and the option to run it on lower power with still sufficient capabilities - in situations when no threat is present. The SPY-1B was so efficient that it would have only halved the range of a Ticonderoga-class if it had been operating constantly at full power! Well, no wonder that they chose to install the early system on the Big E (which I wasn't aware of!) - it had quite a bit more power to spare than the Norton Sound.

Ultimately, less ship specialization saves money and resources and given how warfare is heading, it's becoming less necessary.

Originally MK41 VLS had a Strikedown module, it is a module with a crane taking up 3 VLS space in each 64 cell module, it purpose was to reload the VLS at sea. but it was later concluded that it was difficult doing on a moving ship, dangerous, and at the time a ship need it's VLS reloaded, the would have come a new ship to take over it's role. So after Arleigh Burke DDG-78 the Strikedown module was no longer added to the Mk-41 VLS thus of the 64 VLS there was now 64 alible VLS instead of 61VLS

I picked up on the Arleigh Burke class destroyers around 15 years ago and found them to be one of the most effective ships out there. From what it sound like these ships will get some form of Laser Defense System (LaWS, Helios,...). These thing have layers of defense and the missile defense in the US is FAR better than any other country. My second favorite is the America/Wasp class ships... or better yet pair them together. Mixed with the F-25 and V-22. I wish there was an AWAX version of the V-22.The F-35 though has a pretty advanced radar system and is combined quite well with the Aegis system to extend the capabilities of both. With the US updating several of it missile systems and pushing for far more powerful laser systems as well as the large numbers of F-35, the US is pulling farther and farther ahead.

Even Britajn did this high/low, that's why despite their fleet sizes, it's ships could be found outgunned by other ships of the same class. It had to be a large enough navy to police the world, where the like of other nations were focused on specific regions.
