US' Next-Gen Guided-Missile Destroyer 

we need 2 new destroyers for each fighting ship retired for at least 10 years

I can’t wait to see this, I’m a former USA Day 996 chandler. Love this Chanel! Ty for ur hard work sharing the love we put out! Go America!

the burke class does not need replacing keep this class and upgrade it

Awesome video 👍

I wouldn't describe the Arleigh Burkes--as a class, at least--as "aging." Some are ~30 years old. Some are 1.

Long time no update on DDGx

retiring 7 cgs this year but not much being built to replace them .

Looks f awesome bro From 🇬🇧

At some point the US Navy is going to need something to replace the Burkes. Can’t keep building them forever at taxpayers’ expense.

It would be a good thing for people to remember that laser weapons are line-of-sight and can be compromised by atmospheric conditions.

“ We’re gonna make a new destroyer, taking no later than 11 years“ This is why we’re going to lose the next war at sea. It never seems to occur to anyone that ships can get sunk.

there is no reason "WE " cant build 2 new " FIGHTING "ships each year .. .. the zumwalt costs 4.5 billion each and thats over 2 times the costs of the ddgs

DDGX project is one of the most powerful warships of the future

Is this a cruiser or a destroyer?

Yes , We need a much larger Navy

The main issue they need to fix for these kind of weapon platforms is to decrease the amount of time spent reloading 48 cruise missiles. As things currently sit to my understanding ships have to sail back to port to do this. They need to make the whole system a massive “plug and play” module if you will so as to spend at best 2-6 hours with the whole reload operation. Also, the killer laser is cool as long as they can keep up with the power required which is massively substantial. I’d recommend keeping a big gun maybe on the aft section just to stay away from the heat of the laser and in case the juice runs out.

I know the Arleigh Burke's are an old design, but we really could just keep building them. Make a Flight 4 and 5 with technology upgrades. But to keep making them bigger and costlier is dumb. We don't need it. Just up gun the Constellation class a bit and that will be a lot of hulls and good price.

I strongly suggest laying down at least three competing designs? Then place in mass production the best of the three ships built. Build now, talk later!

No money, no boat.

The problem is with the Navy its self. At this time, the Navy is continuing to change plans on the current ships that are being built. These changes add time and cost to the ship build and forces the contractors to almost rebuild the ship to accumulate these changes. What the Navy needs to do is to let the contract start and then let the contractors build the ship without interference from the Navy that now wants to add new ideas toa already complicated build. These changes cost money and time and this is one main reason that all current ships that are being built are running behind schedule.

I just can’t help but think that a CGX based on the Zumwalt, with SPY 6 and Aegis would be cost effective. Delete the AGS, replace one mount with the current 5” gun and the other with Mk41 tubes to increase their missile load. Keep the bulk of the design intact and the development cost will be low.

The only question I'd have is does the navy have the budget to build them in the same numbers that the Chinese are building up their navy?

How much will AI design change the appearance of the next class of destroyers?

more destroyers one 5 " gun and more missiles and make more of them .. 2 or 3 smaller ones vs one big destroyers with same type guns and missiles is better

You would think the would finish there frigates firestorm

Another multiple $B’s pissed away on Zumwalt 2.0. I can only assume that on every desk in the Pentagon is a sign that says “bankrupt America today”. The ROK and JMSDF evolve Burkes to stay competitive but we have to go broke on the bleeding edge of technology.

Ddg,X the better future ship's for Australian waters and has long range hypertonic best fighting frigates for everyone in Australia ten of this model

That kind of pprogram is good, remember it is US we,'6te talking.

DID HE SAY . . . "Payload Module" ? . . SHAME ON HIM!

Build it

下一代航母战斗群35节

The future of warfare is Space Force! Just shoot a railgun projectile towards Earth and ... well there' won't be much left. It'd be great if we just stopped fighting. LOL

We will be lucky to be able to keep what We have, Manned and Ready to Sail, with a Federal Budget of over 34 Trillion Dollars and Climbing, and the Interest on that debt fast approaching 1 Trillion, The US will be Lucky just to jeep the Ships we have in Fighting shape!, Plus the Navy is Experiencing major Recruiting Issues,Our Active Ships in The Atlantic and Pacific regions are all currently operating undermanned, Which puts an extreme strain on existing Crews, Which makes Ships unsafe and Vulnerable to accidents and enemy attacks!!!,Our Elected leaders in Washington DC over the last 30 to 40 Years, have put Our country in harms way by Spending Money like Drunken Sailors, When a Nation is Trillions of Dollars in Debt, You don't keep increasing Spending each year,You must cut spending, and start by cutting giving Billions of Dollars with no accountability to the Country of Ukraine!!!

3 billie per ship? hell no ...

Why does it take us so long to get a ship when the Chinese crank them out like a car dealership?

A destroyer needs helicopters to defend itself from submarines, and the surface error missile system to protect itself from aircraft, missiles etc. That being the case, seems like destroyers are only able to just about protect themselves, I'm not there. Offensive capability can be pretty limited to maybe some missiles. Might be better to just build a small carrier, with helicopters and maybe some f-35 ST OVLs? It would be big enough to have an ageis system, but the aircraft could extend their range much further. It would be big enough to reconfigure quickly like they expected the literal combat ships to do, but never really did. Maybe we've seen the end of the destroyer?

Navy needs to bust a move , so we spend on new ships not old.

A year later and nothing is built yet. It is all talk.

Change change the design for new stealthier look build it like a fighter plane light the F-22.

Need guns

Looks like a copy of the Type 055 from China lol

Why does every video about a navy project have to include a history of every similar ship the navy ever built? Why not use that time to provide more information on the subject at hand? Too much fluff, too little actual information.

why can other countries build good destroyers with a 5" gun and lots of missiles for les then a billion $ but the usa cant ? unions

Why is every video AI voiced now? If you wrote the script, just voiceover it.

US VS RUSIA ? RUSIA YES 🚀🚀👍 URRAA. UK VS RUSIA ? RUSIA YES 🚀👍 POSEIDON 🚀👍 HYPERSONIK 🚀👍 RUSIA URAAA RUSIA URAAA RUSIA YES 👍👍👍

Interesting video about intriguing designs. But, all too nebulous! The destruction of Moskva demonstrated the vulnerability of a hull filled with very expensive missiles. Missiles are very impressive in the air! Below decks solid fuel rocket engines are a looming catastrophe ready to burn, at anytime! Proponents of the Zumwalt class recognized the need for a better gun for naval service. Only to be sabotaged by a series of poison pills. None of the US Navy's advanced gun systems seem to be going anywhere. The 8" major caliber light weight gun program was also sabotaged. Installing such a powerful weapon on an upsized fletcher class hull? At 3000 tons, USS Hull, was smaller than the Oliver Hazard Perry. The rsnge and accuracy of modern guns has greatly improved. The ability of guns to use lower cost, easier to manufacture munitions cannot be underestimated. Operations in Ukraine and the Red sea, demonstrate that not only are missiles too expensive for a high intensity conflict. Manufacturing limitations have the potential for disaster. After all, missile dependent ships without missiles to fire, are just targets. No one is talking about building new battleships or heavy cruisers. Just the ssme, a wider variety of advanced guns are needed for naval operations. The concept of an advanced 155 mm gun for the Zumwalt class was a great idea. So good, that the opposition restricted the weapon to the use of only one, very expensive rocket assisted missile. When the ability to fire any 155, or 6" shell in the inventory could have been part of the RFP! As memory serves, I heard USS Des Moines had a cartridge fitting room where any 8" round could be fitted for use with the ship's guns. Lighter rounds could be fitted with sabots for use as well. The 40 mm bofors round is still quite popular. Why not a chain gun, CIWS system similar to the Danish Goalkeeper system? A longer range and harder hitting CIWS for hypersonic missiles. To supplement not replace the current vulcan phalanx. Improved guns in the 3", 6" and 8" range are needed. Short range wire guided rounds could help with point defense engagement. Most guns have the advantage of not needing substantially improved electricity generation. Laser or Mazer energy weapons all require a substantial increase to onboard electricity generation. Having a significant impact on the ship's fuel and combat range. Looking forward to a new major combat ship for the US Navy. Call a cruiser sized ship, a destroyer if you like! USS Zumwalt is the size of the 2nd class pre-dreadnaught battleship. Fair winds and following seas.

The DDG(X) is an expensive and inferior amerikan copy of the Chinese Type 055 Destroyer.

*055 copy*

Another Zumwalt turd type program. I was working at LMCO when the Z was conceived(1999). Took 20 years to figure the ship was useless and way too expensive to replace current ship.

We can sesn hundreds of billioms to th3 ukraine but cant fund our wn navy? What has this come to

copy 055

A cheap knock off of the Chinese type-055

China has the best ships the usa ships are only on paper like the rest of the United states wepons Russia has been destroying all the western countries wepons in Ukraine so they don't have the best at all.

Another waste of Taxpayer money!!

Let's put a 155 millimeter main deck rail gun on the new destroyers! It's great that Bath Iron Works & Ingulls Industry's is putting the Spy 6 radar on the new destroyers. 🇺🇸⚓️📡🛰

😂 Luckily Chinese already serviced 8 055 destroyers which look exactly like DDGX. But American will claim Chinese use time machine travel to the future to steal DDGX design.
