A great testbed for the future destroyers electronics and weapons systems. That is basically what they are as the power and room onboard these are stretched out to the max. For the coming decade they will do but once they need to be upgraded the navy will run into problems. They would have done better to make a cruiser based on the Arleigh Burke if they wanted long term service. But these are just an interim solution until they are finished with the design of the next generation of destroyers. These should be around Hawaii, Japan, South Korea and Guam all the time as long as the flight 3 is only available in low numbers. Once there are enough of them they can join the IIA in protection of individual carrier groups. The PLA missile forces are mainly a threat to fixed targets for now.
ddg-x will solve most of that, but we really need to bring back battleships. not ww2 shit, but a giant fuckin red, white, and blue dick in china's oceans with all our new shit on it, and armor, would amuse me. we could name it u.s.s. rockwell after the late great commander george lincoln rockwell.
that's where the paper-thin hull meets ship frame. think of a building, we ironworkers put up the steel frame just like with a ship (and talk shit about carpenters the entire time) but instead of pretty fake brick or drywall making it all officy and modern (barf) it is steel welded to the frame of the ship, which warps it slightly as it cools. steel hull ships have always had this quirk, and like the other guy said, the aestheticians of iron are in very low supply. luckily we have lots of queer dance therapy classes in our universities nowadays, though. that oughtta help
They were canceled as a result of limited air defense capabilities. The AB's are a better role for present naval warfare strategies and are cheaper and faster to build.
1:45 Zumwalt Class? Hasn’t the Zumwalt Class been shelved? Only three ships were ever launched, of which only two remain active, the remaining 29 vessels of the original 32 planned having been cancelled.
@@JayTse-x7l It’s the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon being developed and tested for the Army and Navy by Lockheed Martin. The Navy plans to install them on the Zumwalt destroyers and Block 5 Virginia class submarines
So basically, the only real upgrade to Stevens is the new upgraded AEGIS radar tracking system, as everything else is standard on all other Arleigh Burk destroyers
Once US navy installs SEWIP block 3 onto all flight 2A & 3 destroyers, China’s navy is beaten! SEWIP block 3 can repel any hypersonic or ballistic missile attacks!
This is a hull that can perform missions. The LCS and DDG-1000 are multi-billion$ turkeys that did not produce hulls to perform missions. This forces the ships that we have available to perform even MORE missions. Those two failed programs have left a big, expensive hole in the Navy.
To give the Independence class LCS some credit, its ability to operate in shallow waters, carry NSMs, and operate two Seahawk helicopters would probably be very beneficial to protecting shipping lanes in the Straight of Hormuz from Iranian interference.
because this ship is first of the Burke 3 class, other Burke 1 and 2 will be upgraded to Burke 3 standards soon 5 Burke 2 have already started upgrade process.
I wish they would make a few burkes about 50 ft longer. 2 reasons. 1. Since the US Navy is decommissioning all its cruisers a bigger Burke could have an anti air warfare command center for the battle group 2. A bigger Burke could carry more VLS canister than they presently carry 96/90. Maybe 150 plus or so, this is a big deal because they cannot be the loaded at sea. This might be a problem in the western pacific
@@BullGator-kd6ge the Navy is not honoring Ted Stevens for what he did in WW2. The Pentagon is honoring him for spending entirely too much time in the Senate. Why not a USS Archie Van Winkle instead? Alaska's only Medal of Honor recipient should get a ship named after him before a politician.
It's obvious your narrator doe not understand military nomenclature. This was evident when he tried to put a phonetic name to the radar system. Whenever you see AN/SPY-1 that means, AN Army Navy and the SPY is also code for the particular type of equipment. Just like TRQ was for radio intercept equipment and ALQ was for heat seeking missile jammer. It all has meaning and NOT as a phonetic word. Granted, soldiers and sailors do apply "nicknames" to these particular pieces of equipment, such as the TRQ was coined "turkey" while a piece titled TLQ was coined "Tilkey" bu this is left up to the people who work with the equipment. So understanding how the services title something might lend more credence to you. However, I doubt it. It is obvious through the wording used in this video that this was nothing more than reading the media release provided by the manufacturer/military.
Burke 3 is not even most powerful destroyer in US arsenal, Zumwalt with it's hypersonic launchers are more dangerous. It's built with stealth design, can do everything Burke can do, launch hypersonic and can be easily modified.
@@niweshlekhak9646 Not really. Zumwalt's hypersonic missiles can only hit stationary target while YJ-21 can hit moving ship. Also Zumwalt's radar is less advanced than the one on 055. And Stealth doesn't improve survivability of a ship that much

Tell Bidens people to fix the navy infrastructure problem with Shipyards, Drydocks, etc. I agree, these ships are taking far too long and we need more building them.
Why do you still keep up with the 'we' referring to yourself as an American when you've been called out several times for actually being a Russian 🤡?...go get conscripted 🤡...

Maxfreedom, your misogyny is embarrassing. Comments like that reveal your ignorance. An intelligent person would recognize that a woman can captain a destroyer as well as a man. It isn't a job that requires superior physical strength, etc.
@@pike100 it only embarrasses weak men, as it isn't misogyny, but acceptance of fact. you showed your own acceptance of fact by acknowledging physical strength a factor - women do not and historically have not conducted themselves well in battle, least of all commanding units or incredibly expensive vehicles. they behave on impulse and emotion, which has about a 30ish percent success rate at best. we love em, but not for that capability.
yeah, it is. 30 year old design, dude. it'll still hang though, has some nice tricks up its sleeve and way better missiles than they're letting on (per missile chief something or other on board). it also has a hundred years of collective naval tactics, training, technology, and experience behind her doctrine and operations. if the woman captain doesn't run it aground and the woke tiktok crew doesn't all end up pregnant or letting the ship burn down in port during peacetime like we just did with a fucking carrier, it'll be ok. china talks a lotta shit but hasn't proved much. nor do i want them to. they're brilliant and a valuable ally.
I wouldn't care if I knew for a fact the person was qualified. Problem is that Biden has the branches making decisions based on politics not merit at the moment. Just like when they started forcing women thru the more elite/Special Forces groups.

Very nice video. One of your best. Thanks!

Would have been interesting to compare to other destroyers and earlier flights
American exceptionalism.

Why is the hull of the ship dimpled? Construction tolerances?

Its a great addition but the USN needs to start building the more capable DDG-X
They have to build more drones. Lots and lots. WW2 numbers
they're finalizing design details now. takes time to not be left behind in an arms race.
They were canceled as a result of limited air defense capabilities. The AB's are a better role for present naval warfare strategies and are cheaper and faster to build.
I last remember that Flt III Burkes were originally to have two 61-cell VLS
I bet they are just lying about number of VLS in Burke Flight 3, it is supposed to replace the Ticonderoga class cruiser which has 120+ VLS itself.
Can you sell 9 to Australia please!
1:45 Zumwalt Class? Hasn’t the Zumwalt Class been shelved? Only three ships were ever launched, of which only two remain active, the remaining 29 vessels of the original 32 planned having been cancelled.
The Navy is taking the three Zumwalts they have and are replacing its guns with four hypersonic missile silos for 12 missiles total.
@@BullGator-kd6ge what hypersonic missiles?
@@JayTse-x7l It’s the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon being developed and tested for the Army and Navy by Lockheed Martin. The Navy plans to install them on the Zumwalt destroyers and Block 5 Virginia class submarines

Doesnt have rim 116?
I thought the flight II and on no longer had Harpoon launchers...
we have them until a replacement exists at cost. we know they suck but they're better than an sm-6.
US must accelerate production rate to catch up against China as they are launching more ships these days.
Once US navy installs SEWIP block 3 onto all flight 2A & 3 destroyers, China’s navy is beaten! SEWIP block 3 can repel any hypersonic or ballistic missile attacks!

OMG-BOOOOING AND TEDIOUS
If the AB class is as advance as the Zumwalt. It’s a waste of money. So far, it already looks outdated.
What does russia have... 12 T-14's and just as many of their new "stealth" fighters... please....
Until USN ships start carrying modern active jamming ECM systems then they are sitting ducks. USN needs SEWIP III now, not 5 years from now.
