Why the Navy’s New Destroyer Could Be a Total Game Changer

I am going to sound like a grumpy old CHENG, but since I went completely dark at 1SD on my 1st U/W as CHENG directly because of all these new fangled "tests"... If they don't get a good handle on the engineering plant upgrades and thoroughly test the crap out of them, none of the new-fangled radars will be worth crap... just look at LCS. That being said, the sailors will give it their all to make sure that it works.

Excellent share sir.

Ok so now were embarking on a new Arleigh Burke Flight III DDG-51 class destroyer. My only real concern is were is all this fine hardware and software technology going to be housed, so that a well placed missile strike doesn't repeat the issues we saw with (Spruance class destroyer) . I also agree with a better displacement a/c system to keep your techie stuff cooler which equates to running more effectively. I additionally concur with the improvements in the area's of weapons systems, propulsion, radar,and missle defense. There's one little factor which resurfaces every time I read about this. That is , this new radar going to detect the low flying French excocet missile which tracks at below radar detection ? Like the FFG-31 USS Cole in 1987 in the Persian gulf, when Iatola kookamamy in Iran allowed one of his pilots to launch a deliberate attack on the Cole. We sent crews from our command USS Cape Cod AD-43, to assist in penetration of blackheads to retrieve sailors KIA. If the ship's onboard missle defense system's were energized maybe it could have turned out differently ?? But seriously all we can do is wait to see what goes on in real time testing.
