Nothing Can Kill the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- The Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyers (DDGs) is a United States Navy class of destroyer built around the Aegis Combat System and the AN/SPY radar. The class is named for Admiral Arleigh Burke, an American destroyer officer in World War II, and later Chief of Naval Operations. The lead ship, USS Arleigh Burke, was commissioned during Admiral Burke's lifetime.
These warships were designed as multimission destroyers, able to fulfill the strategic land strike role with Tomahawk missiles; antiaircraft warfare role with powerful Aegis radar and surface-to-air missiles; antisubmarine warfare with towed sonar array, anti-submarine rockets, and ASW helicopter; and antisurface warfare with Harpoon missile launcher.

Flight III is a badass ship!
yep but the latest flight has no harpoons anymore so they have no really dedicated anti ship missiles 💀
@@ceedy.duce_2291 LRASM is coming soon, and all new SM-6s can also be used against surface ships.

The cruiser that’s not a cruiser
Yeah...SPY-6 GaN based aegis. Sm6 SM3 and Lrasm. Even laser WS..badass for sure.
You can call a ship "Tough and reliable". But never call a ship or ship class "Unsinkable".
Indeed. We've done that before.
arleigh burke is nothing compared to russian slava class cruisers, aircraft carriers and kirov class battlecruiser. They are sinkable
@@thedictationofallah Russian ship's anti-air capability is much worse.
@@thedictationofallah The tug boats that have to travel with them are reliable I've heard, and do their job well.

Ah, yes. The seabed’s favourite menu item, unsinkable ships.
Lol so true
You're statement is definitely true but you can't deny that ship would rip whatever messes with it a new butthole
@@supercracker4281 Definitely! This ship is one of my favourites.

As a retired Navy Engineman, I have been on everything from steam, diesel and gas turbine platforms. I knew I needed to get on a Burke destroyer. I was a plank owner on USS Ross DDG-71. I’d rather be on her in a battle than anything else.
You might get that chance if China and Russia have their way
Obviously this is from months ago but I’m on the Ross at the moment, fun to see how small the navy is

Hey Snipe! Former GSE here and plank owner on USS Gravely (DDG-107)
Awesome ships, very fitting to be named for an absolute titan of an Admiral. We need more like him and I hope that others will see this and follow his example.
Compare Russian Kirov Class battle cruiser with this ship.
I cannot deny the ships are powerful, but it’s generally a bad idea to call something unsinkable. HMS Hood and RMS Titanic come to mind, and those ships had rather watery ends.
Hood was not state of the art. It was a ww1 ship sunk during ww2. At the time is was well overdue for refit and modernisation
@@alanclague2333 please tell that to hitler super battleship Bismarck
a state of the art battleship though to be unsinkable but now sleeping at the bottom of davy jones
Nobody ever said the Hood was unsinkable
And the bismark
They probably count it alive even if it sinks.
Never call a ship unsinkable. Never.

@@seba9737 In a sense. It hit an iceberg.
They said the Bismarck was also unsinkable and a retired carrier with ww1 bi planes sank it due to massive massive waves.
my grandfather was in WW1 and my dad was in WW2 my dad was on a destroyer in the navy and I couldn't be more proud of them.
I served on a tin can in Vietnam, wouldn't trade it for anything. GREAT Crew!!
The Arleigh Burke is the backbone of the USN surface fleet. I'd always feel safe if one were escorting me.
Seeing the damage the Cole, John S. McCain and Fitzgerald took and still stayed afloat, they are impressive ships. Having served on two of them (Momsen and Halsey), they are even MORE impressive ships!
Bath built is best built!
@@megasuperkittens420 Absolutely! Plankowner on the Momsen (Bath built) and retired on Halsey (Ingalls built).
That's what we call 'unsinkable'
USS Benfold DDG 65. My favorite ship. We had the SPY 1 and the SM2. Pound for pound the most capable warship in the world at the time.
Thank you for your service sir 🇺🇸
When Admiral Burke toured the USS Arleigh Burke, he was asked if he would have liked to have this ship in WW2. Admiral Burke replied "if I had had this ship, there would not have been a WW2". 9600 tons of pure badass.
WW2..The US fleet was hammered at anchor, The Royal Navy lost many of its most powerful ships. The Japanese lost its whole fleet by US carrier planes, the Italians lost or had damaged ships in Taranto harbour. The British lost a number of ships in the Falklands. surface ships are a thing of the past except for showing the flag.... determined aerial attack as proved that ships are not unsinkable, quite the contrary in fact..
ha ha ha US didnt enter for two years later as usual.
@@keithprinn720 No thanks to FDR. Besides, Admiral Burke couldn't care less about the ETO.
i love building these ships! absolute honor to take part in building these for the brave men and woman in our US Navy!
BTW, the new ship is called the Flight III. Same layout, just bigger!
*Great work!! Glad to see!!!*

last time something was called unsinkable it didnt last long *at all*
USS Titanic will be the next ship of the class
Yeah that was over 100 years ago using primitive shipping construction methods.
@@Apemopar lol listen to you.... primitive?! Go ahead and try to build one today without computers - see how primitive it is then.
@@miamijules2149 Listen to you kid. LMFAO😂. Wouldn't need computers to improve the design of the Titanic. Just better rivets. 🙄
@@Apemopar nah bruh your not building a titanic sized ship without computers good luck with that if your so confident then why don't you try it yourself
Yes, Arleigh Burke is pretty powerful. But the most important factor is the fact that US Navy has 62 of them. Other NATO navies got some pretty powerful ships too, but none of them has 62 of them.
It's been clear from the beginning that these are very survivable ships. As rugged as we can make ships of this size. No ship is invulnerable, and the hull design is 30 years old.
I agree and I think it's time for a new one
@@Machia52612 I really hope you're wrong about that. Technology, and the ability to make better, more survivable and more effective ships, exists. There is such a thing, as the latest in modern warship design. Unfortunately the insanity of corruption, as well as the craze towards automation may well be counterproductive. The recent destruction of the Slava is an interesting side note. Especially as the concept of damage control on that ship. Is at best questionable. We will see.
At last! A well made video that was well narrated, informative and held its relevance right to the end. Thank you mate👍
Epic footage of cool technology! Your videos are great :)
It amazes me how any technology can be kept secret with videos like this.
It's not exactly new technology
What was shown are conventional weapons
I'll bet the US Congress could sink the entire fleet.
But why
@@Chickenworm9394 Because they're politicians who don't know their collective ass from their elbow.
Ships that have been declared unsinkable seem to have a very bad track record.
There have been a number of worships over the years deemed unsinkable. Every generation makes that claim.
exactly my thoughts
@Norse man or one very big hit
@Norse man What about the Musashi, the Yamato, or the Bismarck?
🤣🤣🤣
I use to teach in the US Navy Gas Turbine School in Great Lakes. I taught future Engineers in Gas Turbine and Main Propulsion Tech. Most of my students went to served on FFG's, CG's, DD's, DDG's, PHM's and LCAC's.
Excellent commentary as usual, and always interesting. You have made me a subscriber sir.
The NTU Cruisers and Destroyers were a formidable addition to an array of Tycos and Arleys… the long range option was a useful tool….. to bad they are gone!
I enjoyed the show and I was part of a team for Link-16 antennas installed on this ship.
R/Rod
Great looking things, packed to the gunwales with tech and weaponry, beefy looking with a fo’c’sle designed for heavy seas and frankly looking like a proper warship should. I don’t think anyone’s going to tread on the ABs. God speed gentlemen.
As a heads up, no one stated the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer was unsinkable, I think they meant that the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer PROGRAM was unkillable, as in even though the Navy's trying to modernize, reasons keep popping up to keep the program in operation.
Very interesting take on the matter and I believe might be the case
No bro as a proud American I can tell you that the choice of worldng for the title of this video and the sentiments of the destroyers themselves are in fact propaganda. Not to take away from their effectiveness, and nothing wrong with national pride and a little propaganda but that's what it is. They are among the best though that is for sure. But everyone needs to be aware of propaganda when they see it
Hoping to work at the Mississippi location. Really can't wait to work with these amazing ships

Best destroyer in the world by far. Keep it up US.
@D B Troll someone else I block blatant trolls. I can also like my own comment.
The Type 45 has a great range(but it's much smaller) and that is about it when compared to the AB class. The AB class is over 2 million pounds(1,000 long tonnes) heavier. The type 45 is mainly an anti-air destroyer and the AB class does that better as it has ballistic missile defense, longer range missiles, and carries much more missiles, to the point where in ESSMs alone, the AB class destroyers more ESSMs alone then the entire type 45 VLS as they are quad packed. The issue even the non-biased UK commenters would admit is the VLS is too small, lack of quad packing, and the lack of anti-ship missiles is big(by 2023 they are removing the harpoons that they are just installing now) The AB class also has more power so it could possibly bring aboard weaker lasers in the 50kw class like on the USS Ponce.
@D B Blocked, enjoy trolling someone else, you kids are annoying when school gets out.
Did we forget that Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Nathan James (DDG-151) with CDR Chandler single-handedly saved the world from the deadly viral pandemic back in August 2014?
Oh, I remember this show... wasnt that good and full of plot holes. But big explosions and weird camera angles. Typical Michael Bay...

No such ship.
When time came for me to re-up…had orders to another sonar suite school in SD with follow-up plankowner orders to the Arleigh Burke, which was still being built at the time. Gramm-Rudman kicked in as I enlisted on 2 October, defense spending freeze meant zero re up bonus (which buddies got up to 30 September). Extended a month at a time but, gave up and joined the Army. Shoulda…Woulda…Coulda! Perry Officer Hindsight 😢
I used it in modern warfare game. It is marvellous.
Am looking forward for the new USN Frigate class
Lol literally said "Wooooo" out loud the same time the guy recording the torpedo launch did at 7:16
These light cruisers (sorry Destroyers lol) certainly do handle quite a balanced and powerful weapons systems group. They certainly provide wide ranging surface capabilities that seem to be easily up graded on these platforms.
Rad stuff.
I can watch destroyers all day long.

Keep the AB’s production going, including a Flight IV with oodles of power for lasers. Get a damn gun for the Zumwalts, throw lasers on them, reclassify them as CG and make at least 20 more. Get the constellations going, THEN worry about the LSC. While I’m at it IMO the Nimitz needs to stay in service until the JFK is commissioned. Maintaining a 12 carrier Navy.
why not get sabot 5" projectiles for the Zummies so they can at least get their guns out of layup!!!
I vote you for SECNAV
@@trottheblackdog Haha! To me it’s a simple arrangement to make best house of what you have.
Navy needs a Heavy Cruiser ship of the line heavily armoured, 5" is good, larger projectile even better, US has no low cost shore bombarment capabilty since the retirement of the Iowa class BB's.
that ship has some real nasty stuff in store for for any navy that wants to challenge it 💪💪💪

DDG life. I slept under the 5 inch main weapon. Very very capable multi mission blue water surface combatant. we steamed alone in the open ocean. Nothing on the water scared us.
A single brahmos missile would take that boat out of the fight. Two would likely sink the vessel. Hypersonic missiles are real and they travel really fast. This boat may be able to defend itself from subsonic weapons like the harpoon and exocet, but it cannot react quickly enough at a fast moving hypersonic missiles/glide vehicle. The other issue is the kinetic energy transfer from a weapon traveling at hypersonic speeds. The hull of this boat was never designed to withstand such extreme kinetic forces from hypersonic missiles. Hey DARPA can you guys like hurry up both china and Russia both have deployed this system we need like 2 to 4 hundred like last month to stay competitive here.
@Rayan Abd Al Baki you're right, it will just take like ten years to do it.
Great universal ship!

A modern Red Storm Rising Scenario could be effective at destroying a battle carrier group...
When I read "Nothing Can Kill the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer" my first image was of Captain Romulus of the Red October watching HMS invincible through his periscope and saying to himself with a scoff, "Invincible, Such a name for a ship!",
I tell you what...the Arleigh Burke is definitly bad ass for sure and is the meat and potatoes of the shipyard where I work. But the DDG1000 is an absolute marvel of technology and modern design. Touring through that thing is like touring through the starship enterprise.

“She’s made of iron and she’ll definitely sink”. Quote from a famous movie

I first saw one of these ships as "Nathan James" on the TV show 'The Last Ship'.
Wonder if that fancy weapon system WORKS after an electro magnetic pulse hits it.
These are likely great designs … but CANNONS have earned a place.
Yes
True....but they do have systems in place that can withstand an EMP. As the U.S and other countries developed EMP...they also designed and developed a means to protect against EMP's
Nothing can kill is an overstatement and a testament of stupidity.
Beautiful boat nicer looking than the new frigates on order from Italy
Burk is what a Destroyer should be tough fast able to punch well above it's weight and stealthy. So wish the Canadian government would buy some of these for our own navy

US-marine naivity in advance. What about 1 superfast russian torpedo, drones, sweedish subs, etc.
Yeah I know calling a ship unsinkable and such is going to attract attention. These ships have survived attacks that would've sunk most ships. Combine that the latest missile systems, you have one extremely capable system.
Why the new AB destroyers don´t use anymore the phalanx ciws? i have seen a couple that its still use 2 phalanx, someones with only one in the back part of the ship and anothers with no phalanx. why is that?
They have them to use

Having served on one of the destroyers, I can personally confirm the survivability and the firepower. With this said, a ship is only as good as the crew serving.
A certain Stirling Engine'd sub can sneak up and sink it and slip away without being detected. One of these did it twice in tests with a US carrier group. I think the US Navy has rented one.
That was the Swedes in a diesel-electric with the British Sterling engine. The Germans also did it. The US plays war games, and when the OpFor wins, they stop the game and start over. They DO NOT change their tactics or doctrines. They just pick up their broken toys and go home and take classes in Gender Equality.
think the australians did it too with an oberon boat. long time ago.
Your Technology is absolutely very good . But Enemies will try to overcome your technology .
These ships have made improvements from the first hulls. The earliest numbers of these ships were pieces of shit, but such things can be said about any of the earlier ships of any class. I spent six of my 22 years on Arleigh Burkes and 6 other years on Ticos. I much preferred the Ticos. The Burkes are cheap and anyone who has participated in any form of maintenance of these ships will know this. Flights I and II had ship wide grounding and magnetic problems. You could walk from one end of the ship to the other and get a static discharge every 20 feet. Even sitting in home port for months, one can witness the magnetic field of the ship drift substantially. It seemed the deguassing system really had to work hard nearly always. This is bad. Shaft seals, line bearings, bulkhead attachments were all made of cheaper metal subject to electrolysis corrosion. Many these ships burst shaft seals because of this. The exterior ready service lockers, the crew served weapons bases, life rail attachment points all had cheap fasteners rather than corrosion resistant fasteners. Smart technicians eventually figured the stock part number for these was bad and ordered CRES appropriate fasteners even though the command didn't want to afford something that would pay itself off in the long run. While there were many innovative ideas such as modular deck attachments, most of those had such bad weld jobs they couldn't be used or required substantial rework to fix them. They rusted excessively due to poor welding or mismatched metals or were flat out misaligned/installed incorrectly. For example, the ammo elevators rarely worked. One was because the rails upon which the skipbox rode were visibly not parallel, yet the officers wondered why the box would get stuck when traversing. When I took over as an LCPO aboard one of the Burkes, I discovered saltwater activated munitions were being stored in a room designed to be flooded by seawater. When I looked into this problem, it was a common problem across several Arleigh Burkes. The Ticos had more redundant systems lending to their reliability. Burkes got rid of this to save on cost. While in many cases these ships are considered awesome, from a maintenance point of view, I hated the Arleigh Burkes, especially since I am able to compare them to the Ticos.
@Briz KT,
Extremely interesting. Tell me, when you left was this important information handed up the line and marked for correction?
I'm certain there's miles of red tape however these things sound serious. Repeating them in the Class' construction year over year is insanity. How did you leave things?
Even the seagulls aren’t unsinkable, brother. Those are some badass ships, though.
The Title doesn’t say unsinkable. It says can’t be killed. That can refer to the model line. More ships are ‘killed’ by a bureaucrat’s pen than an enemy’s weapons. The class is still going despite efforts to replace it. So it hasn’t been killed. If there is a serious shooting war lots of ships will sink and lots of lives will be lost. That hasn’t changed in thousands of years.
There are two types of vessels sent to sea by navies, Submarines and targets.
Seems kinda stupid to start from 0 when the A-B ship line has been such a success. should take the AB and fix its shortcomings and enlarge the fucker and add a big thorium reactor to power the DEW's until you get the antimatter reactors up. You can take the basic hull and re-imagine and basic skeleton the make it better, stronger, faster and Bigger so it can do what needs to be done.
What happened to the two different destroyers that were rendered dead in the water and had collisions with other vessels? One was a massive cargo ship. Chinese emp maybe?
I think a daring class would give it a good go!

@@Mn12074 Okay, thx
Its never been used in an actual battle with a worthy adversary with the determination to fight to the death.
Vikings and Germanic goths had determination, fought to the death, and often won. PLAN is arming at a fast rate, a lot of its mimicry while capable probably doesn't pack the cutting edge, last line of defense, ace up sleeve USN ship of type but SCS party 'x' implies it can project 'superior' firepower from an arsenal, rather than just tote a capable platform of military presence. I reckon don't shout out every card in your hand, keep your powder dry. Keep your lid on tight and play deaf.
How about the Seojong class destroyer?

Japanese back in the day could obliterate it.
for not too much extra money they can beef up armament to 4 CIWS from 2 and 2 more rim essm launchers. Not unsinkable because defenses can be overwhelmed by large # of missiles
Our navy has got this!
10 years to design a surface combatant. Simply ridiculous. Here in the US, our navy can't decide what they need or how many. Multiple fleet assessments & still no future course set.
Then can you tell me how to build a big ship so that it has enough armaments, technology, and physics so that the boat doesn’t sink the moment it touches water. You need to learn more physics and have a team of professionals
