    Size does matter, smaller ships may be faster and can turn sharper BUT they cannot operate in the open ocean nearly as well. Larg swells toss them around and they cannot cross the ocean either. These larger ships are what truly own the open deep blue ocean.

      Even in calm water smaller ships aren’t really faster, all things being equal a longer ship will experience less resistance in the water, while having more room for engines, longer does mean slower turning though

    The Taiwanese Kidd class destroyers have a long and curious story - they were originally designed and built in the US, but were intended for the Iranian Navy.
    After the Shah of Iran was overthrown, they were then commissioned into the US Navy - serving from the early 1980's into late 1990's when they were de-commissioned, and "mothballed",
    they were then sold to Taiwan in 2005 - so yes, they are an older design, but they have a very powerful anti-air defense package.

    Many of these newer ships look much like the Arleigh Burke class US Destroyer. This video talks about armament but what these ships have, along with Ticonderoga class guided missile cruisers have the AEGIS system which is what makes these incredibly effective fighting ships. They are also quite agile. The screws blades are able to rotate without having to stop and change to reverse. You could put the port engine in a reverse position and keep the starboard screw in a ahead position and the ship can pretty much pivot.

  • @BelladoriReigns
    @BelladoriReigns 5 місяців тому +1

    As someone else said, the Zumwalt's were designed with the intent to equip them with railguns, however there were 2 major problems.
    #1 (as the other person mentioned) the guns had a HORRIBLE problem of eating their own barrels up every shot, and they have yet to figure out a cost efficient way to reduce/negate that.
    #2 the pure amount of power that is needed to maintain the at minimum 2 railguns they wished to equip the Zumwalts with was INSANE, and referring back to #1, they deemed the cost not worth it unless they can negate the barrel deterioration.
    So, TL:DR. Was supposed to have railguns, too unreliable/self-destructive/power hungry and they decided against it, however its not 100% of the table if they can figure out solutions to its issues.
    (Also yes, the Zumwalts are the F22's of boats, they are super stealthy and have a VERY small radar signature)

  • @mohhughes4870
    @mohhughes4870 5 місяців тому +1

    You mentioned it's not the size but the punch. I'd argue the versatility is also key. Destroyers can be tasked for different roles, and it's important that they have the ability to shift role - from anti-ship, to anti-sub to anti-air - with as little refitting as possible, typically armament.
    As a kid during the Cold War I always marveled at Soviet destroyers and cruisers - they bristled with missiles, guns and mortars! Especialy compared to their US counterparts, whose deck seemed to be flat except for two turrets with 5 in. guns, and maybe some rail systems for missiles. What I did not appreciate was the magzine difference: The Soviet ships pretty much showed their cards, with very little storage space for additional role capabilities - meaning that if things changed in theater and they needed to engage new threats they either had limited capability or would need to restock. In contrast, the magazines on US ships are HUGE, permitting them to carry a good complement of firepower to meet whatever role they may be called to play while in theater. They are in the hull, which means they aren't visible. The launch rails for the Standard family of missiles gave way to verticle launch missile blocks that can carry a variety of target-based orgdinance - more modern Russian ships have adopted this concept to a degree as well.
    The "scaffolding" for C3 is basically being covered with angular, RAM-coated material to help reduce the ships' radar signature.
    And the Taiwanese Kidd class ships are old - I think the Kidds served in the 1960s in the US Navy. Though they appear to have got upgrades (CIWS, e.g.).

      The LCS cost roughly $500M per ship and the Zumwalt-class cost roughly $4B per ship. Out of the two, one has 30 ships with 5 more being built and the other had 32 planned, 3 built, 2 active and 29 cancelled. Zumwalt was the one cancelled with the reason literally being that it was too expensive for what it was and was a waste of money. The American government is obsessed with spending money and stupid crap that it does not actually need yet it felt the Zumwalt was too expensive while the LCS, with all its issues, are still being built and commissioned.

    The company i work for is a Navy/DoD contractor and we make parts for all the Navy's surface combat ship classes. Primarily for the DDG (destroyer), but also for the LHA (landing helicopter assault), LPD (landing platform dock), the new FFG class (guided missile frigate), and CVN aircraft carriers. In regards to the DDG Destroyers, its a case of "dont judge a book by its cover" because they may look "old" but they are far from it and have proven themselves to be the backbone and workhorse of the Navy surface fleet as seen by the number of these ships in service (68). As of right now, expect the production of the DDG's to last well into the 2030's under the current contract orders. Unfortunately, the Zumwalt class were never really meant to be taken seriously because they were an experimental class. The Navy wanted something new so they could put together dozens of new system concepts and see what works and what doesnt. The real downside was that these systems were made by multiple vendors, so trying to get them all to play nice was an impossible pipe dream. Then combine that with the flawed engineering of the aluminum super structure (the bones of the ship) and what you get is a very expensive parade float with so many service problems that the Navy cancelled 29 of the 32 that were originally planned for. Of the 3 that were built, one is in active service, the second is active but with a "provisional" tag meaning its limited on what it can do and its currently in port for hull repairs, and the third is still undergoing sea trials (open water testing) because of all the problems.

    There's something really interesting about you, a native Brit, saying that you really like the Kongo-class ship. Obviously like everyone else, Japan is cycling through the same names it's used for other ships. This is the third time they've used the name Kongo. The first was on an old sailing ironclad. The second is why it's very interesting you say you like it. The IJN Kongo was a fast battleship/battle cruiser that was made by the UK for Japan just a bit before WWII started in full swing. Japan then took Kongo and built 3 more ships to accompany Kongo, but the second ship bearing the name was in fact a British made ship intended and served for Japan. So it's kind of weird/fitting that years down the road that a ship bearing the same name is judged (by the cover) to be good by a Brit.

Also, a bigger ship usually produces more power and has more space for cooling, which allows for more advanced radars and electronic suites. The Chinese type 055 is combination of both size, stealth, and advanced weapons system. It also depends on the mission, the US has both the Zumwalt and the aegis equipped arleigh burke class destroyers. The Zumwalt is designed to support land operations with its massive guns and incorporates stealth design so as to not be spotted by enemy radar on the shore. The arleigh burke does not need stealth, as its role is to protect the carrier group, which means advanced radar, electronic suites, and amount of surface to air missiles are the main priorities. The Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese have all taken aspects from the arleigh burke destroyer design, and the Koreans and Japanese incorporates the American design and made aegis system as well.

    Japan doesn't have much of a military at all, thanks to the treaty signed between japan and the US at the end of ww2. Basically, the US stripped japan of any semblance of a powerful military for something like 100 years in exchange for American protection.
    Japan does have a military, but it cant stack up to any major powers because of that treaty. Their ships are limited in size and numbers as well as their air force and army.

    So that is an M134 Minigun at 7:59...reports indicate that in 2023 the 7.62mmX51 Miniguns were removed and replaced by the UK version of the Browning M2 .50 caliber machine gun, the L111A1.
    And it is typically called a "crow's nest" not an eagle's nest...though if you keep saying it, you may eventually replace the old phrase with your own.
    At 12:50 the video says the Taiwanese Kidd class is crewed by "marines"...this is no doubt an error in translation, or from some other cause. They should have called them sailors...or seamen, since you like that better. LOL
    The four Kidd class ships were commissioned into the US Navy in the early 1980s, were decommissioned in the late 1990s, and were sold to Taiwan in 2003.

    Yo Commando! I love your videos, you're an extraordinary human and a prime specimen as the original.
    Thank you for your service. Not only for your service, but also all of the wholesome and informative entertainment you've since delivered.
    I am a huge fan and this is my first UA-cam comment after 10+ Years of wasting away on this site.
    @OriginalHuman
    Yes, I am stroking your... ego. And yes, there is something I would like to request. If it's my first ever comment - Damnit I'm going balls deep.
    I desperately need to have a spotlight pointed at South African history. [ I can hear the "Yikes..." already.]
    However.
    South African military history is prime content. And just like our gold reserves it needs to be exploited by foreign business owners.
    I swear I will not recommend any controversial or NSFYT content.
    I will highlight a few recommendations and facts that I think you'd definitely be interested in.
    1) You're a proud Commando, as damn well you should be. Are you aware where the Commandos got their name?
    Winston Churchill was in South Africa during the 2nd Boer War. Churchill came down here as a journalist, got captured by us because his huge balls slowed him down. Escaped as a POW because he already min/maxed his charisma and literally just walked out the camp like he owned the place and no one even considered him as a POW. He was so popular for his antics and speeches his political career was officially put in motion.
    That's a whole topic in on its own. But my point is he was so impressed by how the Boers fighters where essentially all Calvary Snipers. Every Boer was an expert marksman, every Boer used the Land against the Enemy, every single Boer had their own horse.
    Modern guerrilla warfare [note- as an official military doctrine!!] was first implemented and perfected by the Boers.
    These Boer armies were called - KOMMANDOS.
    Churchill created the British Commando special forces in respect and honor to the Zuit-Afrikaanse Kommandos.
    I am not trying to debate who is better, nor am I implying "day stole our ideas!"
    I just think ZA history is criminally underrated.
    The Angolan Bush War. "The last Cold War war."
    It lasted 23 solid years.
    We were globally sanctioned (I mean...)
    We were alone, cut off from all trade and military assistance besides... Isreal.
    We had developed the most advanced Mil tech in the world during the majority of those years. G6 Howitzer, most accurate and ranged artillery for yeaars.
    Rooivalk attack helicopters, essentially the most advanced helicopter in the world for a couple of years; The Oliphant Tank MBT in Africa, MRAPs where an South African invention, or at least made standard issue.
    Forgotten weapons showcases extremely unique guns made here. They're litterally the most sci-fi guns out there.
    Anyway jesus I went off on a tangent. I'm passionate about history and I think ZAs history is so underrated and is a great gateway for an entire new series of content you can use.
    Love you Bro.
    Cheers!
    P.s I am totally saving this comment on Word and copy pasting it on everything I can from now on until I'm noticed, or after like 3 days 'cause rampant commitment issues.
    If any viewers actually read until here, help a guy out with an upvote. Show me dreams can come true. That I want to hear a British Commando try our absolutely unhinged South African accent.

    Ahhh the DDG-1000 series all 3 were built by Bath Iron Works in Bath Maine, originally the Navy ordered something like 20 of them but dropped it to 3 due to the 2 year build time and the 3 billion dollar price tag, so they went back to the DDG 51 flight 3 class destroyer

    It's just a pity that the Zumvolt, while its development was underway, was already outdated for the purposes for which it was designed, and it was not suitable for others because it did not even have a antimissile defense, and the program was closed.

    The reason why U.S ships have old looking towers is because of those white boxes you see under the widows are Aegis radars that take the role of the radars on the tower and the Agis radars are much superior!!!

    Ah, being sick but you still must sacrifice yourself to the UA-cam algo-gods. I get we ^_^ BTW that last ship, the Zumwalt, is being converted to a super sonic missile boat since the railguns failed and it isnt designed to take the standard vertical launch missile packages you see on the other American destroyers.

    The 'tower' on many newer ships is an enclosed mast, supposed to be better stealth. Not sure how better the enclosed mast is than a 'normal' mast, but maybe in another 10 years, we will know more.
    And the Arleigh Burke's are a Cold War design, that is still very good to this day.

    the US navy messed up the rail gun, then they messed up with the new special ammo they didn't order enough of to make cheap, and it looks like it all worked out cause now there is room for the new hyper sonic missiles... Zumwalt fails upwards to achieve a great successes

    They manufactured the prototype Zumwalt in Idaho when I was still in high school in 2003-2005 range. I joined years later and they still hadn't integrated it into the Navy. Now they are decommissioning them because they are garbage... It was someone's attempt to leave their mark on the military and it wasted BILLIONS of tax payer dollars and is going to take millions more to decom so that's why you saw the Arlies are still being manufactured because old doesn't mean obsolete.
