The last "stealth" destroyer of the Zumwalt class went to sea for the first time

The last of the new class stealth destroyers left the Maine coast on Friday for sea trials.

The ship, named USS Lyndon B. Johnson, was built at the Bath shipyard. The destroyer goes to sea for the first time with a course to the Atlantic Ocean.

This warship is the latest in a class of three pennants, which the U.S. Navy hails as the largest and most technologically advanced destroyer in its class. stories

- noted in the Associated Press.

The length of the ship is 186 meters. The Arleigh Burke-class destroyers previously built in the late 1980s in Bath were about 155 meters long.

We are honored to send this wonderful ship to sea trials on the birthday of its namesake, President Lyndon B. Johnson [would have turned 113]

- said the representative of the shipyard.

The daughters of the 36th President of the United States christened the warship at a ceremony back in 2019.

The Zumwalt project, to which USS Lyndon B. Johnson belongs, has become one of the most significant technological failures in the United States in modern history. When developing the new destroyer, it was assumed that it would become one of the main types of ships in the American navy... As a result, it was decided to reduce the order to only three units, two of which are already serving in the Navy.

The ship is a carrier of a non-existent weapon. Quite a loud failure of the US military-industrial complex.

This happens with us. And let them dig in the sandbox and dream of "super duper" (Trump, if anything).

Is that? I don’t remember something ... Well, that the ship was launched into the water, but there was no weapon for it ... it didn’t work.

After. And now they remove the burrs with napkins. https://newsland.com/community/politic/content/plavaet-no-ne-streliaet-noveishie-podvodnye-lodki-ne-dozhdalis-bulavy/6095365
The memory needs to be flushed more often, THEN so to speak.

[Kayala]

In my opinion, fine-tuning weapons to mind is standard world practice and the Bulava is no exception. How long have the Amerzos been finishing their Fu-35 and still not finishing it? And Bulava, though with problems, was finished. But what will this prodigy fight with? This is the question.

No questions. Trump promised a "super duper", though he's already gone ...

Bulava is in service and loaded onto boats. They took it for a long time, yes, and they began to release it before it was put into service ... but the weapon existed, and the ships for it were not built in vain. Unlike those we are discussing.

This is not the main weapon of the ship ... And this problem has already been solved. The Zumvolt's primary weapon will NEVER work.

The main weapon of Zumwalt is his UVP MK-57 and the avionics complex ...
As well as a fully developed and completed completely new power supply system for the entire ship.
As well as a single computer network, which allows, if necessary, to control the entire ship - an extremely small number of crew.
RCS is reduced by almost a couple of orders of magnitude compared to ships of similar displacement.

And it already works.
SAM has already departed.
The ship will also be part of the missile defense system, as planned.

Yes, the cannons are not going "yet" due to the high cost of the shells.
But the guns are not the main thing in this ship.
Even if they reach the design range of 80-100 kilometers, the same targets can be destroyed by missiles.
At least other ships in the world do not have such guns and all targets are destroyed by missiles.
It seems to me. that in 5-7 years, they will be able to master the budget production of shells. at least for the last 3-4 years - shells costing 100-150 thousand dollars have already appeared. And not 800 thousand, as were the first models.
Having dropped prices to 100 thousand, they will start buying this shell.
After all, rockets do not get cheaper and only grow in price following modernizations.
And not only in the fleet, but also in all other segments.

Is this on the basis of what the inoperative radar - has become not the main element?
That you will shoot a bullet into the sky from a non-working radar?
Paper planes?
pancakes with pebbles on the water?

9K96 Polyment-Redut
Torpedoes (2001 "Temporary instruction on the procedure for re-certification of torpedo weapons")
Yes, the same ship diesel engines (although this is not a weapon)

[Thrifty]

It is a pity that the Yankees did not build them about a dozen or so, then for a couple of pieces they could definitely claim uk-roina, one for the Georgians, one for the Poles, one for your extinctions, to drive these nano-empires into the Stone Age

[knn54]

During the design, the following goals were set:

1.Minimum visibility - fulfilled.
2.Platform missile defense - not implemented.
3.Universal combat system, with the number of missiles in the launcher 117–128 units - not fulfilled, 80 units.
4. Electromagnetic weapon - not fulfilled.
5. The cost is not higher than 1,7 billion. for 1 board - not fulfilled, more than 4 billion 13 billion for three units.
Almost twice as expensive as the destroyer Arlie Burke.

[Kedrovich]

Minimum visibility? Such a Tower? Funny. Well, the radar may not notice it, but it will be visible in the optical range even from over the horizon.

Why so?
SAM is, KR Tomahawk - is.
Torpedoes / Helicopters - yes.
Radar / RTR / REP / EW equipment - there are also the most modern ones.

Just a testing ground for new technologies. Surely the exhaust from these ships will be higher than that of Skolkovo.

Well, how is the service?

The ship did not go well. The shots are expensive, but it is important that this is recognized and the release is stopped.

Zumwalt is already yesterday's shipbuilding day. While our naval strategists are chewing snot, the Americans are in full swing developing ekranoplanes according to Soviet technology and using technical documentation kindly provided to American "friends" by Yeltsin's leaders. The American military believes that the new generation of ekranoplanes can be used for the rapid transfer of troops, armored vehicles and ammunition over long distances, including across the ocean and not only for this. And we still live in yesterday, remember the Soviet "Lun".

That is probably why Japan and Israel are buying some of the most technologically advanced countries with hundreds of £ 35. Take off the noodles from your ears and sit in tune and get imbued with technology, although the platform is not even ours there.

[Zhevlonenko]

How many hundreds of those planes Israel has 33? Japan plans, the keyword is planning, to buy 105 cars, and by 23 to bring their number to 18. By the time they receive the latter, the former will already be left without engines, since the resource turned out to be catastrophically small, and currently 18 percent 35 in the United States do not fly precisely because of engine supply problems.

For 55 years, Avtovaz never dreamed of what Mask did, not to mention what he was doing and what he was doing. The trampoline itself will even sprinkle with boiling water (the mask with launch prices has already been recognized) when Roscosmos stops paying. Our engines were abandoned, and this is a third of the income of Roscosmos. In the coming years, the delivery of satellites is three times cheaper, and Roscosmos will be even more crippled. In general, as always, they sit in huts, with a salary of $ 350 and think how bad they are. And with a pension of $ 150, you will generally say that everything will be over there soon.

[vadim dok]

Even today, Musk launched the Dragon supply ship to the ISS for NASA, and, as is customary, put the first stage on a barge. Moreover, the first stage has been used for the fourth time!

[Zhevlonenko]

Yes, well, for your manner of comparing incomparable, AvtoVAZ never dreamed of what Musk receives as an "investment". We have been waiting since 17 for promises of a reduction in price, we will not wait for everything. Here I look at a heap of fables and fairy tales in one heap ...

"it was supposed to become one of the main types of ships in the American navy."
And it turned out, as always, a useless iron at the price of an aircraft carrier.
