The latest frigate FFG (X), which is being built in the interests of the US Navy, will receive an advanced Aegis air defense / missile defense system and up to 16 over-the-horizon anti-ship missiles. This was announced in the US Department of Defense.

The Pentagon released an official statement Friday that revealed some of the details of the latest FFG (X) frigate being built at the Fincantieri Marinette Marine shipyard in Wisconsin for the benefit of the U.S. Navy.

Frigate FFG (X) (...) will be equipped with the Aegis air defense / missile defense system of the Baseline 10 modification, as well as up to 16 anti-ship missiles with a horizontal launch range. The ship’s electronic weapons will include a new radar for detecting air targets and a sonar station with a variable depth of immersion

- said in a statement.

As previously reported, on April 30 this year, the US Navy signed a contract for the construction of the head frigate of the FFG (X) project with the Italian company Fincantieri. The contract value is $ 800 million, the construction is carried out by the American division of the company. The agreement also provides for the option to build nine more ships of this class. At the same time, Donald Trump, who visited the Fincantieri Marinette Marine shipyard on June 25, said the series could be extended to 20 ships.

Each frigate will have 32 Mk.41 vertical launchers. FFG (X) will carry the MH-60 Seahawk marine helicopter and the MQ-8C Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicle

- Trump said, speaking to the shipyard workers.

The new frigate will be 30 times more powerful than the warships of the previous generation, and its displacement will be 7,5 thousand tons. I personally changed the appearance of the (new-approx.) Ship

- added the American leader.

The program for the construction of a new generation of frigates FFG (X) was launched by the U.S. Navy back in 2017. New frigates should replace the not-so-successful "littoral" combat ships of the LCS.

Well, if you personally measured ...

We still need to be able to measure the ship.
Well, what can we say to set a new frontier for the Chinese? :)

This is exactly what the Chinese. Our MRC for happiness. What are the economic opportunities. Such and the fleet But there is a small "BUT". How to exclude the total influence of the surface fleet on the defense-constituent ability of the country? And in general it is possible? I think so, maybe

[rocket757]

The Yankees will seek to maintain dominance in the oceans, which means their zone of interest is EVERYWHERE.
Not news, if you look.
The question is, will it be close there, with someone else?

[newcomer]

There is still a question begs, do they change ElSiZs, or ZlSiEs2?

[rocket757]

An interesting question for universal launchers ..... this allows you to create a configuration of striking power of a sparrow, such as is required in a particular case. Well thought out.

[newcomer]

That's right. But I touched on the topic of which ElCS are changing, because well, they are very different.

[rocket757]

That's when they start, then it will be seen. And now there are a lot of words, things will come later.

[Rzzz]

And after all they will quickly build, hell. They will not chew snot for ten years and will cut. They will rivet five boxes a year easily.

[Sergey Averchenkov]

They are not devils, they who think they can point to the whole world. And this goes around with them.

[newcomer]

Yes, sawing is not sickly, but also riveting, hand full. There was no stagnation and loss of personnel.

[Sergey Averchenkov]

It is not a matter of stagnation and loss of personnel, the matter is how you will react to the economy of the USA. They will come to you and say that you and your wife are not sleeping democratically. And then they will take away more children.

[newcomer]

It is precisely because of stagnation and loss of personnel that the nightmare you described is possible. In general, I commented on shipbuilding.
There were times when a lone ship flying the flag of the USSR Navy passed through an NATO warrant; they gave way, respected and feared.

[Sergey Averchenkov]

Frame loss? But I’m here, and I’m not going to run like Kozyrev. I got a Soviet education - does anyone have doubts about the quality of this education? There are many of us, but only we are old.
Shipbuilding rises a little.

[newcomer]

I am very glad that you are with us. We will not go deep, since you are a shipbuilder, you yourself saw everything. Regarding the rise_da. It used to be that the shipyards rotted without ships, now they are not enough, but they are being fixed little by little. And on atomic missiles, the Yankees are far from us.

[bk316]

There was no stagnation and loss of personnel.

It was not there. Not on such a scale as ours, but quite sufficient to cede leadership to the Chinese. I don’t know about shipbuilders, but how I myself didn’t see it in IT and geophysics on the Internet.

IT what a small development group looked like in the 80s
PM (Manager) - Amer
TL (Leader) - Amer
SA (architect)
S (coder) - Amer, Jew (ours or from Israel)
T (tester) - Jew (ours or from Israel)

like now
PM (Manager) - Amer
TL (leader) - Russian or Amer or our Jew
SA (architect) -Russian
C (encoder) - Russian, Chinese (in a remote place directly from the Russian Federation or China)
T (tester) - Indian (in a remote place directly from India)

I hope it is clear that this is a complete loss of the development process in the medium term?
With geophysics, it’s even sadder, there Amer is only a supervisor and usually on a remote site. And station operators and drivers and spit workers are all local. Engineers and actually our geophysicists. Well, it’s on the ground ... I don’t know on water.

And this is not a trifle; it is so in Microsoft and Halibarton.

[newcomer]

I am glad to hear that they have stagnation in software, etc. But that’s how they rivet, bastards.

[bk316]

But it’s because they rivet, bastards.

Are you talking about ships? Riveting. As I understand it, their shipbuilding traditions are abruptly ours.
And that very deep America is still preserved somewhere, but if for another ten years before the blacks they kneel, they will be gone.

[newcomer]

Yes, then God. Let them kneel.

So they don't think, they really can. Well, not to the whole world, of course, but to almost everything. And we what, while it remains to wait when "backfires"?

[Evgeny Goncharov (smoogg)]

And it goes around

Is there enough breathing? Read the history of VKPb?

As long as there are treasury bills and people in the world, budgets will be sawn everywhere.

Given the joint production of US lobbyists with the Italian mafia + sizes from Trump ... Then, here you are very excited.

[Rzzz]

All shipyards there are private. No ship - no money, and also sanctions for breaking the contract. Therefore, nothing is shifted "to the right" there.

[Doccor18]

A rather big frigate - 7,5 thousand. Surprised by the attention of the RCC. Previously, Americans did not bother much about this, being content with 8 harpoons even on destroyers.

China is now crushing, baking ships like patties ....

[Alex777]

As I understand it, they take an example from our frigates. But make them bigger.
However, our 22350M, when they begin to build it, will be very good.

[Alex777]

What, someone does not agree that ours at the 22350 were the first to put 16 shock missiles each?
There are all sorts of Israeli and Algerian ships with anti-ship missiles and on the ground, but ours are the first IMHO.

[Alien ...]

"content"... Cool. What then are the Ticonderoges, Burks and Zamvolty armed with?

[Alex777]

For a long time there were only 8 Harpoons on the Tiks and Berks.
And then there were none.
On ESSM Lockups in large numbers. There are completely new VPU.
Maybe they’ve adapted some anti-ship missiles. Most likely based on the Tomahawk.

[Alien ...]

Read about the Tomahawks. They are already with 6oh Ticonderoga went, sort of. And they immediately set it on Burki, EU, but, because UVP MK-41 eats everything ...

[Alex777]

Current are those Tomahawks about which you speak never RCC.
And you just did not understand what it was about.

[Alien ...]

They are any. Universal. Are you not at all in courses? Single unified rocket. It remains to make an air defense modification. )))
But this is no longer interesting. Interestingly, the Americans conceived for the Zamvoltov. There UVP are freaky ...

[501Legion]

since when did the mattress build frigates

[newcomer]

They are preparing to protect coastal waters, although they may be added to the escort of aircraft carriers or Vaspov.

[Holgerton]

Since China became the main adversary at sea, replacing it with Russia, in which only frigates and RTOs can build a more or less normal series of 8-10 pennants, and then we see how many years our construction sites have been stretched, and
The PRC is building a large number of 056 type corvettes (and this is not taking into account the types 052 and 055 destroyers), which can conduct a limited ocean war, only this year they handed over 8 pieces, and 56 units for the PLA were delivered in general, so the US needs ships, besides them the main destroyers that can sink these corvettes, while being able to fight with the Chinese destroyers. And since the shipyards for destroyers are already loaded, and the construction of the destroyers themselves is more expensive than frigates, it is immediately clear that frigates for them are currently the best option for increasing the number of naval personnel. Especially in the version in which they are going to build them.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

About the series of frigates Oliver X Perry heard?
The Americans in the Soviet Union had this - aircraft carriers - it’s understandable why, cruisers and destroyers — to cover aircraft carriers and form separate KMGs for battle with the Soviet Navy, and frigates - a convoy service for vehicles transporting US forces to the mainland. So they had a lot of frigates with specific tasks, and then, after the Cold War, they relaxed.

[newcomer]

"Olivers" and were created as a general purpose escort.

[Alex777]

since when did the mattress build frigates

Since then, when money became less and tasks appeared, which destroyers are sorry to send.
Trump promised the fleet to increase to 350 ships. Here they are trying.

[FIR FIR]

For a long time ..

[Mountain shooter]

Up to 30 times more powerful? And how was it measured? Or is it from the field of "super-duper missiles" 17 times faster than the speed of sound in the atmosphere ... Or 17 times faster than Russia's hypersonic missiles? It doesn't matter ... everything is not important there, except money ... Biden began counting millions of people who died recently from covid in the United States ...

[donavi49]

Well, they compare with old man Perry. There is a single-beam CM1 (in the current conditions, especially if there are Chinese YJ-12/18 or all sorts of Onyx / Mosquitoes / Granites against Perry - these are 1-2 missiles, no longer have time) - here is the air defense / missile defense package on ESSM / CM2 + / CM3 in MK41 and a good channel.

But what about the newfangled "invisibility"?
While

I personally changed the appearance of the ship — the American leader added.

, then a completely different matter!

[Ham]

Why did they transfer the contract to pasta? are there no friends?
16 missiles will not be enough for a super-duper frigate ...
and what about the wunderwolf called "zamvolt"? didn't come in?

[Thrifty]

Trump nevertheless decided to increase the naval composition of the US fleet at any cost, so frigates are being laid, then unmanned attack ships, over which the Yankees have been "conjuring" for a long time, will go into production.

[Normal]

And here is the new simulator for Russian electronic warfare.

[Kerensky]

Let's answer their intrigues with the stratospheric atomic airship "Kirov" !!!

But seriously, it is necessary to increase the autonomy of the sides. In the case of a grandiose chucher there will be nowhere to recharge ...

[TermNachTer]

Mattresses gave the order to the Italians? I wonder why they need it?

[MstislavHrabr]

Italy is the leader of southern Europe. Will be more interested in cooperation. Germany and France kick back ... The East is already obedient. The south needs to be fed ...

[TermNachTer]

Italy is very offended by NATO, for the coronavirus. Talk has already started about leaving the EU, and then look at NATO.

[Reserve buildbat]

Interesting. 7500 tons displacement is not too much for a frigate? Is 32 launchers not enough for 7500 tons? And "over-the-horizon anti-ship missiles" - what is it like? At 300 km they see from the mast? Donya once again bears nonsense for typical "exceptional" ones with an IQ of no more than 70.

[bk316]

Donya once again bears nonsense for typical "exceptional" ones with an IQ of no more than 70.

Yes, he is now not up to the performance characteristics of the RCC. He has elections on his nose, and blacks burn cities. And by the way went the second wave of the crown. All analysts were mistaken with a peak, who was waiting for blacks to go in crowds and to infect everything around ....

[TermNachTer]

With a coefficient of 70, there are not so many mattresses. Most have a lot less. So, for them a ride.

[Connor MacLeod]

Im like Gorshkov like

[Alien ...]

Oh, men, not about what we think / write ... This frigate already under construction... And the likelihood that they are still riveted by 10-20 pieces is close to 146% ... We are behind godlessly ... There Pakistan I bought frigates from the Chinese, and then I had to build it myself. Were planning 9 pieces ...
... about how: https://www.korabel.ru/news/comments/turciya_i_kitay_vzyalis_za_perevooruzhenie_pakistanskogo_flota.html

[Vadim237]

Let Russia build one horseradish in the open Pacific and Atlantic oceans; they will not fight with us; our over-the-horizon RCCs create Zircon and the new Onyx with a flight range of 800 kilometers, and there is also X 32 with a range of 1000 kilometers of air-based and a Dagger with a range of 2000 - one hit and khan to this tricked and expensive frigate.

[Alien ...]

... Oh, I have these storytellers ...

[Vadim237]

Well, well ka - in which a fairy tale is desirable in more detail.

[Alien ...]

In zircons, onyxes and daggers ....
Do you understand what the matter is. The case is the INF Treaty (treaty on intermediate- and shorter-range missiles). On land over 500 km, no way ... But on the sea, it is possible. And they have a lot of it (carriers), and we have horseradish ... Therefore, they will stick this onyx for us, you know nowhere, and they will shoot Tomahawks from the middle of the oceans. Over 2500 km ...

[Alien ...]

I read here about these frigates ... https://invoen.ru/analitika/vms-ssha-novie-fregati-proekta-ffg-x/
What impressed me most was this: "According to the plan, the laying of the lead ship of the class will take place in 2020 - later in the period 2021-29. two new frigates each year."

[VLADIMIR VLADIVOSTOK]

The more difficult the technique, the easier it is to disable it! Example Russia in first place in the EW troops! Deaf and blind!

[Ax Matt]

Did I understand correctly in transliteration? The Vaseline-10 system?
Well, let them cook. Our "Zircons" on their Vaseline should go well ...
