"Newest and Advanced": US 7th Fleet Replenished with New Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyer

This is already a classic ... without any newfangled quirks.

Yes, they mold all the latest on new vessels ... (Well, maybe not THE SAME, but definitely not old!)

This is normal, vehicle upgrades are under construction ...

It seems that during the Cold War, the Americans abandoned the practice of changing the TZ during construction.

When a product has been in production for many years, changes are inevitable ... for technically complex products, it is imperative.

[darkesstcat]

There were some articles about their mass production program, there was just this condition to speed up construction.

[rocket757]

So the product always has the potential for modernization ... this is normal, correct.

[darkesstcat]

After construction.

they know how and can ... enviable.

Not a bit. Not stealth means it won't work

... the destroyer is one of "newest and advanced" ships of the US Navy.
In how, you see, the people, and they do not have an equivalent in the world.

[prior]

Objectively, the T-34 became the best WWII tank not because it was the most, the most, the most.
But because it was decent, reliable, technologically advanced, inexpensive and massive.
So is Arleigh Burke, alas, to our regret.

UV. Prior, if you leave from "the most, the most, the most", then, IMHO, you need to remove the word "worthy". Honestly, I don't even understand what you mean.

[Dmitry Makarov]

As far as I understand, since the destroyer is the newest and most advanced, then the crew should be from transvestites. Biden gave permission to serve these "cream of the American society", it is not bad that one of them became the Captain of the boat.

[nPuBaTuP]

Too lazy to look ... And the sergeant after whom this piece is named, is it not a Negro?

[Thrall]

Mexican. He died more than worthily. Being wounded, he covered a grenade with his own body.

[u-345]

And what did he do there? A thousand miles from Mexico?

[vadsonen]

The same as the Russian military personnel in Syria. Just don't talk about the fight against terrorism.

[Ryusei]

And you fundamentally from what to die, from a bullet fired by a hetero or from a trans bullet?

[rotmistr60]

"commitment to regional security in realizing the rule of law" in the Indian-Pacific region

And tell me where the United States does not care about security and the rule of law? Already even to the moon got together to defend the extraction of minerals. The "rule of law" was vividly shown in the United States itself during and after the elections.

Just a short video

Japan's tacit consent, I personally despise. The Yankees burned them with an "atom", and these now bow. Ugh! And where is their pride?
pc The steamer is worthy, we would have an analogue.

[Hort]

and our destroyers of the "Udaloy" class are not close in performance characteristics to Burke?

In my opinion, Shaposhnikov approached, the others are lagging behind. In addition, they are 30-40 years old, there are only 8 of them, and modernization is needed

[Kushka]

And why was the bow gun deployed ashore?

So here we are not talking about a newly built ship. It has been in service for more than 3 years. Here we are talking about the fact that it was the 7th Fleet that received a new combat unit, that is, the matter is in the usual translation or even simple rotation. ...
