Raytheon actually has a civilian division called "Raymarine", and they manufacture a wide variety of radar and sonar/ navigational equipment. I have a Raymarine radar, depth finder and chart display on my boat.
Raytheon actually has a civilian market through a division called "Raymarine". They make commercial and civilian radars, sonars, depth-finders and navigational equipment. Much better quality than Garmin or Simrad.
"I get to come to work and sail with the very best" is something I bet every sailor wants to hear from their captain, seeing how proud he is of his ship and his crew is really admirable. Bless everyone on that ship in their operations and training. :)
Frankly im dissapointed at how little destroying it can do. 1 gun on the front. A cpuple dozen active missle pods. A couple cwis it seems to be a bare minimum to me. You look at before they had missles on those big meusum battleships and i wonder if there isnt enough active missle pods and whatnot.
@@jakewillits4678what? You do know that the arleigh burke‘s are the most heavily armed ships of their size? And 1) they could destroy any battleship ten times over before that battleship even saw them, and 2) ofc they‘re not going to be as big as a battleship, but guess what dimwit? The us navy has over 70 arleigh burkes, compared to less than ten battleships that were ever in active use at the same time.
@@jakewillits4678 With today's advanced weapons like hypersonic missiles etc., it's better to have multiple light and maneuverable ships than a few heavily armed but also slower and bigger targets. If one heavily armed ship is lost you lose a lot of firepower. At least that's what I think.
@@jakewillits4678 We (and the rest of the world) don't use battleships for the same reason we don't ride into war on horses. It's an outdated technology unfit for the modern theater of battle. 98 missile pods that carry a variety of munitions for different tasks, multiple auto cannons, torpedoes, and the CWIS is more than enough to eliminate the assigned targets and defend the boat. They aren't sailing out there completely alone.
@@jakewillits4678😂😂. That thing carried 50 missiles, dozens of torpedoes, and the guns which honestly are more for show or small threats. You seem to take for granted how much damage a ship launched cruise missile can do. Look up a tomahawk cruise missile hitting a target. It’s a big boom. Then imagine 50.
Active Duty Salior Here! Was deployed out of NBSD and stationed there for 5 years on a DDG. Glad to see you showing the world what we do on a everyday bases, love it! Hooyah!!
Impressive video, Sam! It's clear that this isn't just about the ship-it's a clever way to inspire and recruit the next generation of sailors. The production quality is top-notch and truly showcases the power and capability of the U.S. Navy. Kudos to the team behind this; you've made service look as epic as it truly is!
Best friend's cousin was Ops officer for DDG-106 USS Stockdale. Sister to the Sterett. Went out for the day during Fleet Week. Got full access to ship like here in video. Watched 5" gun practice along with CWIS and other weapons (no missles, of course). INCREDIBLE experience to be on an active Navy ship at sea. THE highlight of my life next to my daughter's birth. Fair winds and following seas to all the Navy. To our allies, you will not find a more faithful friend. To our enemies, you will find us just as faithful.
Fun fact this ship actually has a laser installed, yes LASER. If you look close behind the forward missile deck just below the bridge, the grey color turret is the soft-kill laser known as ODIN, it can jam and destroy the sensors on enemy missiles.
@khoanguyenavia the Phalanx CIWS may not have the biggest caliber compared to some foreign equivalents, but it's the speed of the weapon that counts, these things can even take out some mortar and artillery rounds, not just missiles.
I know its not realistic but I fell in love with ships like this after watching "battleship" I loved seeing the Phalanx CIWS in action, and funnily enough it's how I found out that some old battleships like the USS Missouri recieved modern (for 80's) sensors, missiles and 4 Phalanx CIWS modules, they were used in the gulf war and could launch missiles which is strange for an old battleship!
Yeah, I toured a active Navy Sub once, and they were super strict about what we could record. For example, we were not allowed to record anything regarding the capabilities of the radar. I am surprised that we are clearly seeing that here. We can see that one of the radars they are using has a range somewhere between 32 to 64 miles. In addition, we can see the scan rate. How this is on RU-vid, I don't understand.
Regarding port security. In 2000 the USS Cole was refueling in Aden Yemen. It wasn't even in the port it was a few thousand yards outside refueling at a permanent barge. A suicide bomber came along side her in a speedboat. No one spotted the boat in time to act and 17 sailors were killed. Port security is VERY important, especially with drones becoming more accessible and deadly.
As a former OS2 on a DDG, this is cool content. For anyone curious or thinking about joining the Navy, it was the best thing I could have done for myself. Hooyah!
HI SAM ,, AND U.S. NAVY.. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS LEARNING VIDEO SHIPS FOR THE FUTURE ,, I WAS ON AN OLDER SHIPS IN THE PASSED IN THE 80S BUT THEY DID THERE JOB WITH OUR CREWS ,,.. GREAT TO SEE THE FUTURE SHIPS PROTECTING THE U.S.A.,, NAVY-- U.S. ARMY,, VETERAN..
Good Day. WoW. This video is Excellent. There are 4 live RU-vid video cameras, 24 hrs. per day in San Diego. My Wife & I watch many happenings at the port daily. This video really deeply, complements what we see with regards to these Destroyers coming & going there. So many questions are answered here. Again, Wonderful. Thank You for this interesting and educational video. Peace & Best Regards.
"This video is brought to you by Military Industrial Complex" was something I never thought I would hear in my life time! Great video! love to see more!
I like seeing the Navy videos definitely need more. You should visit some squadrons to show the best side of the Navy the aviation side. Keep up the great work
Just want to say, 32 Mk-41 VLS cells on the bow, and you're correct 64 back aft, for a total of 96 VLS cells. I'm a plankowner (ships company before a ship is commissioned) on the USS Momsen DDG-92 and retired after 20 years while serving on the USS Halsey DDG-97, both virtually identical to the USS Sterett DDG-104.
This is the difference between China having a much larger Navy with less trained crew members, no war experience, far less technology in their ship. and the US with tons of war experience, the absolute best technology that noon else has and the best trained crews. The world knows.
Typical ignorant American-centered mindset. What is your proof China has “less trained crew members”? Experience is overrated, no one cares, and if you think even 5% of the USN’s enlisted has seen “war” or “combat” then you’re delusional. And no, China’s ships do not have “less technology”. They are on par, and better in some areas. If you actually knew what you were talking about, you’d know a Type 055’s radar, the Type 346, is a more powerful radar than any destroyer or cruiser the US currently possesses.
We have a woman at our local Jersey Mike's that runs her operation like this destroyer. Keeps the line tight and efficient. Always on time, no delays. She's our Jason Garfield.
The USS Sterett is a powerhouse of versatility and technology! With its Mark 45 gun, CIWS autocannon, and advanced AEGIS system, it's amazing how all the firepower is controlled from the Combat Information Center (09:01). But what really caught my attention is how every sailor, regardless of their role, plays a critical part in keeping this warship mission-ready. What do you all think? How does the teamwork on these ships compare to other military branches?
Awesome Video! I was just in San Diego a couple weeks ago. Drove over the Coronado bridge, looking at those destroyers sitting in the dock and wishing I could tour one. Thanks for a quick look inside!
Im in the US Navy and I was on the USS Arleigh burke then I switched to being a naval Aviator on the nimitz and I saw the Steret in the strike group for a couple days
Fact about destroyer: originally destroyer are called ‘Torpedoboat Destroyer’ and have the purpose of destroying, well, torpedoboat, but soon Torpedoboat are obsolete, however the Destroyer stayed, with the Torpedoboat drop out of its name.
That weird moment when you don’t skip the sponsor ad… But you’re also not sure if there’s a particular call to action, and if there was, if you could afford it or even what you’d do with it.
I will always remember going to Fleet week up here in Seattle. There was a Arleigh Burker destroyer, and then a Coast Guard cutter. Funny enough the Navy let us into the CIC of the destroyer but the coast guard didn't. You would think that it would be the other way around since the destroyer has all the advanced radars and weapon systems that are classified.
The fact that they show the CIC and stuff is very telling. Shit way more advanced and capable is secret. Imagine the stats of those systems that are top secret and not shown. I know lots of people are proud of their job etc. But working on platforms that are the first line of defence and are a huge target is something else. They are the ones that sacrifice more then most. Not home every night, danger for life etc. Wish you guys got paid more. A guy playing soccer gets millions, and a bro working his ass off solo, away from home for months even years gets bare minimum. They work with lethal stuff around them, and then they hear; "your injuries are not service related". A diffrent breed these people. Mad respect from the Netherlands!
HI Sam, this was another Awesome informative video. You and your crew do a Fantastic job. Keep your great videos coming, I will be looking for the next one. Al
