What are the destroyers

87


The destroyer is a class of multi-purpose high-speed ships designed to combat enemy air, surface and submarine forces. The tasks of the destroyers include the escorting of sea convoys and formations of warships, patrolling, cover and fire support of amphibious assault forces, observation and reconnaissance, setting of minefields, search and rescue and special operations. In the 21st century, specific tasks were added to the “traditional” missions of squadron destroyers: delivering strikes against targets in the depths of the continent using high-precision weapons, Missile defense on a strategic scale (Theater Air Defense) and the destruction of objects in low-Earth orbit.

Sometimes they are scornfully called "tinsticks." It would seem an offensive comparison, but the British sailors, on the contrary, are proud of the derogatory nickname of their ships: after all, “can” (tin) sounds to the British ear like “can”! Maybe the destroyer is a lot ...

Small brave ships fought on a par with battleships and aircraft carriers, bravely enduring damage from enemy fire. The compartments flared and the hull set collapsed, the deck writhing in a raging flame — but the guns of the surviving guns glittered, anti-aircraft guns crackled endlessly and torpedoes plunged into the water with a dull roar. The destroyer went to his last attack. And when he received a mortal wound - he was hiding in the sea foam, and without lowering the flag in the face of the enemy.

What are the destroyers

The feat of the destroyer "Steregushchy", which alone took the battle with the Japanese squadron near the walls of Port Arthur. When four seamen from the crew of 50 survived, the heroes with the last effort flooded their ship.

The destroyer "Johnston", which saved the American aircraft carriers in the Gulf of Leyte. The antenna of the radar dangled among the gear, all the decks were covered with debris and torn seamen’s bodies. Growing roll. But "Johnston" stubbornly crawled forward, closing the carrier ships with a saving shroud of smoke. Until another Japanese projectile gutted the engine room of the destroyer.

The legendary Soviet destroyer "Thunderer", the heroic ships "Johnston", "Hole" and "Samuel B. Roberts" ... sinking Israeli destroyer "Eilat" ... the British destroyer "Coventry" fighting off Argentine Air Force planes ... launching dozens of "Tomahawks" destroyer US Navy type "Orly Burke" ...

Surprisingly, in each case we are talking about completely different ships - different in size, characteristics and purpose. And the matter is not at all in the notorious difference in age - even peer destroyers often have such major differences that they de facto belong to different classes.

The notion of a destroyer as a “small universal ship” is not true. Real life is far from any stereotypes - each warship is built for a specific task; for actions in predetermined conditions (in the coastal zone, in open sea areas, in conditions of possible use of nuclear weapons, etc.); against a previously known enemy (the United States and Japan had suspected about the upcoming war in the Pacific since the beginning of the twentieth century). An important factor is the financial potential of a single state, the level of development of its science and the potential of its industry. All this unambiguously sets the appearance of the future ship and influences the definition of the range of its priority tasks.

I invite readers to check which ships are hiding behind the banal phrase “destroyer” and which unexpected solutions are sometimes offered by shipbuilders.

First of all, be sure to note that destroyers are "real" and "fake". On these destroyers will be discussed below. As for the "fake", it is, most often, modest ships, which in their size and combat capabilities do not meet any of the requirements for destroyers of their generation. At best, these are frigates. At worst - anything, right up to the rocket boat.
However, with a slight stroke of the pen, and in spite of all enemies, they are enrolled in the honorary caste of destroyers. Typical propaganda and the desire to seem better than it actually is.

"Cheap Ponte" usually ends in failure - having encountered any serious enemy, the "pseudo-destroyer" releases steam from the punched boards and proudly sinks onto the seabed.

Famous examples:

The infamous destroyer Eilat, sunk by Egyptian missile boats in October 1967. He is the former British destroyer HMS Zealous, launched in 1944 year. It is fair to admit that at the time of entry into service, HMS Zealous looked depressed against the background of its peers - American, Japanese or German destroyers. Plain, outdated ship, 2000 total tonnes of displacement - not enough for a destroyer, even by the standards of World War II.

Ins eilat

And here are the other “outsiders” - the British destroyers of type 42 (better known as the “Sheffield”). By the end of the 1970s, degradation fleet Her Majesty reached such a scale that these unfortunate pelvis with a displacement of 4500 tons had to be credited to the destroyers - for comparison, the American and Soviet destroyers of those years were twice as large, and in terms of combat capabilities they generally exceeded Sheffield by an order of magnitude.
The consequences were not long in coming - during the Falkland War 1982, British replicas of warships were beaten with regular bombs from subsonic jet attack aircraft. A ringing slap on the fleet of Her Majesty.
(however, the British made of this stories certain conclusions - the 2-i and 3-i modification of the Sheffield turned out much better)

Now, excluding from consideration of the "fake", let's move on to the real destroyers - the remarkable combat systems that have become the "thunderstorm of the seas."

The first subspecies of destroyers - the destroyers of air defense.

The name speaks for itself, the ships are focused on the fight against air targets and, it must be admitted, the efforts of the designers were not in vain. Modern maritime SAMs allow you to control the space hundreds of kilometers from the ship’s side - if there is a destroyer of air defense in the warrant, an air attack on a squadron becomes an extremely risky and ineffective venture: even a supersonic anti-ship missile going at the utmost low altitude does not guarantee a breakthrough through the destroyer’s “invincible shield” air defense.

Famous examples:

The idea of ​​the destroyer of air defense is not new - such ships have been known since the Second World War. For example, the Japanese destroyer "Akizuki". Despite Japan’s serious lag in radio engineering and fire control systems, the Japanese managed to create a fairly successful destroyer with a total displacement of 3700 tons, which became one of the best destroyers of the Second World War. Exceptionally powerful anti-aircraft weapons (not by quality, by quantity - up to 60 barrels of anti-aircraft guns of all calibers!) + Incredible fuel autonomy (a full supply of fuel oil was enough for 8000 miles away)!

In our time, the undisputed favorite is the British "Daring" (45 type destroyer). In terms of dealing with air targets, "Deringu" is not equal. What is it worth one super-radar with an active phased array or a set of anti-aircraft missiles with an active homing head capable of getting an enemy aircraft below the radio horizon? Beautiful, powerful and modern ship, the pride of the fleet of Her Majesty.

The second subspecies - "shock" destroyers.

These include destroyers, "sharpened" for the destruction of enemy ships, as well as having any special abilities for fire support of amphibious assault forces or launching missile and artillery strikes at coastal targets. Nowadays, their number is rapidly decreasing - ships are becoming more and more universal, however, the idea of ​​a “shock destroyer” is rarely realized in the form of absolutely fantastic structures.

Famous examples:

The destroyer of the project 956 (code "Sarych"). Rocket-artillery ship with automatic guns caliber 130 mm and supersonic anti-ship missiles "Mosquito". The classic strike destroyer, with a weakened air defense and anti-aircraft defense.



The second prominent representative is the Chinese destroyer type 052 “Lanzhou” (currently obsolete). Very mediocre capabilities in terms of anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defense, but on board the "Lanzhou" whole 16 anti-ship missiles!


Chinese destroyer Qingdao (DDG-113). The Stars and Stripes is just a gesture of courtesy during a visit to Pearl Harbor.

And of course, you can not ignore the incredible destroyer "Zamvolt"! Fantastic stealth ship, “Pentagon silver bullet” - the euphoria around the promising American destroyer has not subsided for almost 10 years. In addition to unusual, futuristic forms, the project attracted public attention with an unusual composition of weapons - for the first time in the past half century, two automated AGS guns of 155 mm are planned to be installed on a warship. 10 firing rate / min. High-precision projectile firing range - more than 100 kilometers!

Moving along the enemy coast, the invisible stealth destroyer will bombard enemy ports, coastal cities and military bases with its six-inch shells. And for “difficult targets” on board the Zamvolt, 80 UVP are provided for launching anti-aircraft missiles and cruise robots-kamikaze "Tomahawk".

The third subspecies - Large anti-submarine ships or PLO destroyers

During the Cold War, the threat from ballistic-missile nuclear submarines was so great that both superpowers struggled to saturate the fleet with anti-submarine weapons. As a result - BOD - large destroyers with hypertrophied anti-submarine weapons appeared in the composition of the USSR Navy. The monstrous 700-tonne sonar stations, anti-submarine missile torpedoes, anti-submarine helicopter, rocket bombers and anti-submarine torpedoes are all means to detect and destroy enemy SSBNs!


The Yankees moved in a similar direction - “to have an anti-submarine frigate or a destroyer for each Soviet submarine.” One of the results of this approach was a large series of destroyers of the Spruens type. In the ranks of the US Navy, these ships performed the function of our BOD, with some adjustments to the universality of weapons. A notable feature of the Spryuans was the absence of a collective defense air defense system - the destroyers' air defense was rather weak and ineffective.
A good ship in all respects has become even better with the advent of vertical missile launch installations - six dozen Tomahawks turned the Sprewens into a real destroyer.

Fourth subspecies - helicopter destroyers

The specific invention of the Japanese genius. Nostalgia for the glorious times of Pearl Harbor. Constitutional ban on aircraft carriers and strike weapons. Serious threat from the Soviet submarine fleet.
All this determined the appearance of the Japanese destroyers: the main armament was helicopters. From 3 to 11 rotary-wing machines on board, depending on the type of ship. However, on board each of the Japanese destroyers, helicopter carriers, there are a number of built-in weapons: from artillery shells to air defense systems and anti-submarine rocket-torpedoes.


Helicopter destroyer "Haruna"



Helicopter destroyer "Hyuga". Sizes similar to UDC "Mistral"


Fifth subspecies - universal destroyers

Rare, but very cool type of destroyers. There used to be a lot of them, now almost the only “Orly Burk” and its derivatives remain. China is working in this direction, but so far all of its attempts do not reach the level of the American Aegis destroyer.
The creation of such a ship in our time requires tremendous efforts of the military-industrial complex, the highest level of development of science and huge financial costs. The only ones who managed to fully implement this idea were the Americans. At the beginning of the US Navy's 90, they received a super-ship with 96 vertical launch systems Mk41 (the entire nomenclature of missiles adopted by the US Navy — SAM, PLUR, cruise missiles “Tomahawk”, anti-satellite missiles “3 Standard” - everything except ballistic missiles ).


Universal Mk41 control gears would not have that mystical effect without the Aegis combat information control system — AN / SPY-1 radar with four phased antenna arrays. Simultaneous tracking of thousands of air, surface and underwater targets within a radius of two hundred miles from the ship. Efficiency and speed of decision making. Special modes of operation of the radar. Data exchange in real time with other ships and aircraft. All ship electronics - detection, radio, satellite communications, weapons - all ship systems are connected into a single information circuit.


Yeah ... The destroyer "Burke" is good, although it is not without flaws: thin tin boards and disgustingly low survivability is the scourge of all modern ships. In addition, the "Berks" of the first modification were not at all universal - the priority of Aegis destroyer was always air defense. All other problems did not interest him.
Initially, the “Berks” did not even provide for the permanent basing of the helicopter. Anti-submarine defense was relegated to simpler ships - the same destroyers of the Spruence type.

In conclusion, I would like to note that these five subspecies of destroyers (from the destroyer of air defense to the strike destroyer and the destroyer-helicopter carrier) are by no means a complete list of the specializations of the destroyers.
For example, during the Second World War, there was a need for escort destroyers — specific ships for escort missions — hence the unusual requirements for their design and weapon composition.

In addition, there were destroyers, minelayers (type "Robert Smith"); destroyers of the radar patrol; destroyers converted into anti-submarine ships under the FRAM program ... The range of tasks of the destroyer destroyers is extremely wide and it is not surprising that specialized structures are created to solve an important problem.

      Great!

      "Tashkent" is still a "white elephant", a single ship of its type
      Xnumx years ago it seemed weird

      The last trip of "Tashkent" to Sevastopol is a real miracle in the history of naval battles. lack of armor, primitive anti-aircraft weapons (no analogue computers CIC or projectiles with a radar fuse), 80+ attacking Junkers, 300+ dropped bombs - and yet the ship survived and won!

      Remember how the Japanese sank Dorsetshire and Cornwell with bombs in a matter of minutes ...
      Against the background of these events, the salvation of "Tashkent" is some kind of paranormal phenomenon / LUCK

        will sound blasphemous, but the Soviet leaders - "Leningrad", "Minsk", "Tashkent" (a total of 7 ships built for 3 projects) were just analogues of the best foreign destroyers.

        "Ordinary" Soviet destroyers - sevens - are simply ashamed to compare with the Japanese Akizuki, American Fletchers, Sumners, Girings, or German "Type 1936". The Americans especially stood out - radars, computers, etc. high-tech gave them exceptional combat capabilities. Plus, they were built not by 1 ship, like "Tashkent", but in series of 70 or more units

        For example, Allen M. Sumner. Pay attention to the number - unlike the Soviet Navy, where tactical numbers were assigned spontaneously, in the US Navy the side number is attached during construction and forever - DD-692, indeed the 692nd built destroyer

    The author is a big plus. However, in such a small article, it is unrealistic to talk about all the subtypes of destroyers. The topic should be continued in a more detailed form for each subtype. It’s worth starting with the Iranian undershot, and ending with Zumvolt.

    Nowadays, the British Daring (destroyer type 45) is the undisputed favorite. In terms of the fight against air targets, the Daring has no equal.

    But it is necessary to check and compare the performance characteristics of the "Dering" with the performance characteristics of our project 22350 frigate of the "Admiral Gorshkov" class. Ours is almost two times smaller, and better in terms of air defense potential.

      April 20 2013 14: 39
      In order to compare ships, they must already be in the combat composition of the fleet. 22350 not yet. But if everything conceived in the "Polyment-Redoubt" succeeds (and in other systems too), then a multifunctional warship may turn out, inferior to most destroyers, mainly in cruising range. But there are also problems. This ship is new. There are difficulties with fine-tuning. And building is half the battle. It is necessary to "bring to mind", launch into a series, prepare teams and infrastructure. A project on paper and the achievement of operational readiness by ships are two different things. In reality, it will be possible to talk about something in 6-8 years.
      The best or not the best "Doering" is a very relative dispute. The British built the ship they needed using whatever scientific and technical base they had. It turned out to be a completely modern air defense destroyer, and given that they are not going to fight with the United States, it is quite sufficient for them.

              The most notable incident involving Alacrity was the sinking of the Argentine supply ship ARA Isla de los Estados by gunfire over the night of 10 – 11 May 1982, near Swan Islands.

              On the night of 10 on 11 on May 1982, the frigate HMS Alacrity drowned the ARA Isla de los Estados transport with artillery fire. It took about two dozen shots, after which the Argentine transport exploded. This case is considered the last naval artillery battle in modern history.

          According to statistics, 80% of the bombs from Her Majesty’s squadron’s destroyers, frigates and landing ships didn’t work properly
          Explode at least half of them - and the British fleet had a chance to not complete the task)))

          The reason for everything is the frankly weak air defense of the British squadron

              severe damage:
              - destroyers Entrim and Glasgow
              - frigates "Plymouth", "Brodsward" and "Argonaut"

              damage:
              - destroyer "Glamorgan" (hit by anti-ship missiles "Exocet")
              - frigates "Brilliant", "Elecrity", "Arrow"
              - landing ship "Sir Bedivere"

          The activity of the Argentine Air Force was never suppressed - the destroyers of the URO and the frigates of the fleet of Her Majesty tried to do this, but, due to the weakness of anti-aircraft weapons, the task could not be completed. In this case, a third of the squadron received damage.

            Here are the statistics on the "weak" air defense of the British - A large role in the air defense and missile defense of the expeditionary forces was played by air defense systems, which account for more than 50% of the downed aircraft and helicopters. Particularly high combat capabilities were shown by the Sea Wolfe air defense system, on the combat account of which there were 5 shot down planes and two Exocet missiles. The complex was adopted by the British in 1979 and installed on URO frigates to combat low-flying targets with an effective reflective surface of up to 0,1 square meters.

            Ship SAMs: “Sea Wolf” 5, “Sea Darth 8,“ Sea Cat 10 Total 23.

            80% of ships and vessels were sunk by aircraft. This indicates that, as during the Second World War, aviation remains a formidable force in combat operations at sea.

            In the Falkland War, 350 combat aircraft and helicopters were used. The Argentines at the beginning of the war had about two hundred combat aircraft: of them 6 Super Etandar attack aircraft, 21 Mirage ZE fighter aircraft and 23 Dagger 34M fighter aircraft, 75 Skyhawk A-4P attack aircraft, 10 Canberra reconnaissance aircraft -62. 14 Skyhawk A-4Q aircraft were in the Navy (on an aircraft carrier). In reality, 150 cars participated in the war.

            The British could oppose only 20 Sea Harrier planes located on the anti-submarine carriers Hermes (12 units) and Invincible (8 units). Soon, however, the advantage of Argentine aviation was nullified. On container ships converted to aircraft carriers, up to 30 Harrier and Sea Harrier aircraft were delivered to the conflict area, and a squadron of the same aircraft with several refueling in the air made a flight from the British Isles to the South Atlantic. Directly on ships deployed off the Falkland Islands, there were more than 80 helicopters of eight types (Link, Wessex, Sea King, Washi, Chinook, Gazelle, Commando and Scout), and In total, about 130 helicopters were involved. smile And why are the British stubbornly building aircraft carriers is not clear to Oleg Kaptsov?

            During the conflict, the UK deployed 42 VVP aircraft in the South Atlantic (28 Sea Harriers FRS.1 and 14 Harriers GR.3). They carried out more than 2000 sorties south of the island. Ascension, including 1650 in the war zone. The flight time per aircraft was 55 hours per month - up to 6 sorties per day. One pilot made 3-4 sorties a day, which required about 10 hours of stay in the cockpit. At the initial stage of hostilities, the expeditionary forces had 12 pilots for every 10 aircraft, and at the final stage - 14. The combat readiness of all Harriers as a whole was over 80%.

            During air attacks, Sea Harrier aircraft fired 27 volleys with sidewinder missiles, 24 of them hit the target, 7 of them were shot down with a 30 mm Aden cannon. Of the 31 shot down aircraft, 19 were Mirage fighters. Moreover, not one “Sea Harrier” was shot down in aerial combat.

            Argentine Aviation Losses

            According to English data: The losses of Argentinean aviation amounted to more than 100 planes and helicopters, including “Super Etandar” - 1, “Mirage” and “Dagger” - 26, “Pukara” - 23, helicopters - 18, etc. The Argentinean Air Force suffered the greatest losses from anti-aircraft missiles (45 aircraft), 31 aircraft lost in air battles, 30 - at the airfields.

                The Argentine Navy played a very limited role in the war, although it had the ability to influence the course of the struggle. For example, more active use of modern submarines and destroyers with the Exocet anti-ship missile system could give very good results. The exit of the aircraft carrier "May 25" could divert significant British forces, having squadrons of Skyhawk attack aircraft and helicopters.

                If Argentina had put forward the aircraft carrier "May 25" with its attack aircraft, the losses of the British would have been much greater! But these are already questions of tactics for the Argentines themselves ...

                  the British naval zentite artillery was then already extremely undeveloped, almost absent, they more relied on the air defense system, for which they received a "face". But after all, Argentine aircraft not only shot down ships, but also the coast after the landing on the Falkland Islands. And there there was MANPADS and anti-aircraft artillery, and there was a land-based air defense system, they used a mobile one, not very well, prada, but still. :)

                The submarine fleet played its role, of course, but the British were afraid to lose not a submarine, but aircraft carriers, I repeat with the quote - “It remains a mystery why the Argentine command missed the opportunity to strike at the Hermes.” If they succeeded, the British would collapse. Knowing this, we fought a war on the blade of a knife. I knew that just one accident - a mine, explosion or fire on either of our two aircraft carriers, would almost certainly be fatal to the entire operation.

              I would not so blindly trust British statistics of British air victories in this war. In general, the West tends to exaggerate its "achievements" and hide its defeats, trampling even former opponents in the mud. They claim that they have no witnesses of the combat losses of aviation at all in that conflict, but only not combat ones, due to difficult weather conditions. The type of flight and combat training of the Argentine pilots was the lowest, not like the type of them, tom. :) But the same pilots of the Argentine Air Force with the same level of training perfectly broke through the air defense of their ships and formations and laid ordinary bombs well !! into their ships. :) Probably something is not quite as English women say? :))

              The loss of an aircraft carrier would be a heavy moral blow to the squadron - the death of a large ship meant the death of dozens (hundreds) of crew members. Impact on the reputation of the British Navy. Sowed by fright in British public opinion.
              Thatcher's government would have been forced to wind down the operation in the South Atlantic and conclude a truce.

              Another thing is that purely from a military point of view, the importance of the aircraft carrier was not great - the British squadron would only have won if instead of the "Hermes" and "Invincible" heels of destroyers, even such unlucky ones as Type 42, were built.

              ps / British squadron consisted of more than xnumx pennants - If TF317 had left Porsmouth, leaving Hermes and Invincible in the base, it would not have affected the operation in any way.

              so they, the British, also hid them from the Argentines, taking them outside the tactical range of the ground-based air forces of Argentina. I do not think that the Argentine command did not understand this benefit for themselves and did not seek to sink them.

            But how British strategic aviation acted, I remember you are hoping to replace aircraft carriers with it? am

            The Falklands War was the first for the "aged" strategic bombers "Volcano". Introduced into service in 1956, they were the first to go into action in 1982. Not to say that the participation of these aircraft in the war brought significant benefits to the British. Of the 7 Black Buck operations, three ended in failure: the flight was either canceled, or the plane returned to base before reaching Falkland.

            The first time "Vulcan" bombed the Port Stanley GDP on May 1, but only one bomb out of 21 hit the target. Martin Withers was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his "successful mission" and Bob Tuxford was awarded the Air Force Cross.

            Volcano aircraft bombed the Falkland Islands 4 more times; 2 times attacks were made on planes at the Port Stanley airfield and at warehouses (to no avail); 2 times - on the radar located near Port Stanley. In the latter case, anti-radar Shrike missiles were used. In one case, it was possible to damage the radar, killed 4 operators.

            Hardly all costs "paid off".

            I think I completely described to you on the facts the inferiority of your theory of the "inferiority" of aircraft carriers)))))))))))))))))))

    "A classic strike destroyer, with weakened anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft weapons."
    Not entirely correct statement. The Sarych's anti-aircraft missile defense is really weak (no wonder, it was originally created as a fire support ship for the landing party), but the anti-aircraft defense. Two multi-channel medium-range air defense systems at the time it was created - not bad at all. Especially if you use the latest missile modifications with an increased range. That's who, really, has a weakened air defense, so this is Project 1155. Two short-range air defense systems for such a ship are really not enough.

      capture on the Uragan launcher - when working on the Harpoons, a very controversial decision, not to mention all the limitations of the channel (as we saw in TOF-89)
      the main thing is that this decision imposed extremely stringent requirements on the quality of support for the NLC with a low RCS, and if the Fregat had everything chocolate with this, no one would have dragged the "Podkaty" instead of the additional OVTs radar to the ships (and the target flight altitude would not bully "would - it is typical that for MRK" Monsoon "" his "RM was a much more difficult target than those with which the 956 Tikha OpEsk" frolicked "at the prize shooting in 1989 !!!)

      Uragan's air defense potential is certainly much higher than that of Wasp (including anti-ship missiles)
      the question is different, the non-optimal performance characteristics of the real "Hurricane" - for example, the introduction of radio correction and capture on the trajectory sharply increased the capabilities of this air defense system, or the possibility of additional target search with the "Nut" (in the conditions of an insufficiently accurate control center) - I assume that this was implemented on the "Hurricane-Tornado" , and even when installing a mm-range radar for work on the NLC, the defeat of the anti-ship missile system was reliably ensured in the entire affected area of ​​the air defense system

    The first destroyer "VZRYV" was built in 1877. The desire to expand the combat capabilities of the carriers of torpedo weapons led to the appearance in the Russian fleet of the first-born seagoing destroyers. So, "Explosion" became the ancestor of a new class of warships. It was from that moment that the rapid and complex evolution of destroyers began, in which Russian engineers and naval specialists played a leading role, and the ships they created were often copied abroad, in particular, the Batum, which had good seaworthiness and cruising range, and the Kotlin, for the first time received two screws, which significantly improved its maneuverability and increased survivability.

At 56, the "Sovremenny" Bram went to repair the SU in 1989, "Desperate" - 1990, "Olichny" - 1991, "Perfect" - 1992 - none of them returned to the brigade. At the time of setting up for repairs on all these ships, all the weapons were in combat readiness, but they did not participate in the exercises due to constant problems with the control system. And the boats were just over 10 years old. It would be better to burn with coal.

                I also consider Burke to be the best destroyer today. But I don’t agree with your estimates:
                Air defense - 8.5 / 10, no more. No AFAR, we have not really switched to missiles with AGSN, their ability to effectively hit low-flying supersonic targets is also questionable (if you have something to read about it - with pleasure). In general, a big question, but ideally, IMHO, there should be a missile capable of hitting AWACS aircraft, with an appropriate powerful AGSN, so that you can "find" the target again if it jumps over the radio horizon. It will greatly strengthen the ship's air defense, if this is realized. Or maybe the SM-3 is suitable for hitting such a simple target as an AWACS aircraft?
                RCC - 4 ??? If we talk about this moment, I think you understand that there is 0. And if you return the launchers with 8 harpoons ... miserable 8 light subsonic missiles, I’m not saying that they are bad, but considering their characteristics, here it’s necessary to take a mass of volley, otherwise it’s not enough. 8 harpoons are hardly enough to sink another destroyer with powerful air defense. So 2/5, no more.

    The author writes:
    Moving along the enemy coast, an invisible stealth destroyer will bombard the enemy ports, coastal cities and military bases with its six-inch shells.

    The idyll can be seriously spoiled by new generation diesel submarines (for example, the Lada brought to mind), since guarding the naval base is one of the primary tasks of diesel-electric submarines. Probably it would be more correct to talk about fire support for landing on an unequipped coast, a fire strike on the accumulation of equipment, but not on the naval base with its security and defense system.
    Secondly, there is also BRAV with their coast-based anti-ship missiles (such as Redut, not far off BraMos), in the presence of which large NKs are not recommended to get too close to the enemy coast.
    So it’s not so simple, but the opponent is serious.

    1. destroyer "Guarding" - really never was a destroyer, moreover, the question of its death with the discovery of the Kingstones seems to be still open (in the absence of such). As they say in such cases, what was happening on board at that moment - "only God knows."
    To the class of destroyers - could include light cruisers: Novik, Diamond,

    2. Displacement has always been a controversial issue on the classification of ships.
    which means: "The infamous destroyer Eilat, sunk by Egyptian missile boats in October 1967. It is also the former British destroyer HMS Zealous, launched in 1944. It is fair to admit that by the time of entry into service, HMS Zealous looked dull against the background of their peers - American, Japanese or German destroyers. Nondescript, morally obsolete ship, only 2000 tons of displacement - not enough for a destroyer, even by the standards of World War II. " What does 2000 tons mean not enough? For a convoy destroyer or an air defense / anti-aircraft missile destroyer, this is quite enough. Small crew, high standard of construction, the probability of survival in the first battle was negligible, but sufficient to take the enemy with you. The same "Thundering" (7th project) was also ~ 2000 tonne.

    3. You know, as in one of the publications dedicated to the Navy, I read a rather serious article on the evolution of destroyers. The article was fully tracked - who, what, where. Moreover, even a diagram was presented with the main representatives of this class of ships: USSR \ USA \ France \ Great Britain \ Germany \ Japan. It seems to me, before writing ....... wee ... we should have turned to such scientific works and at least borrow a part (you do not write a dissertation, and we don’t resent it for the sake of historical and technical truth will).

    Each of the destroyers listed in the article was created and optimized to solve those tasks at sea that were considered the main ones for ships of this type within the general structure of the Navy of a particular state, Naturally, these tasks were linked to the military doctrine of this state at the time of the creation of the destroyer, the role and place of the Navy in the Armed Forces and destroyers in the Navy, and, of course, with the economic and technological capabilities of the state, as well as its priorities in relation to one or another type of weapon. Therefore, a side-by-side comparison of a domestic destroyer created in a certain period of time with its American, French or English counterpart does not make much sense. We can only say that without effective cover of the destroyer with coastal or sea-based (aircraft carriers) -based fighter aircraft, ALL types of destroyers, without exception, will not be able to stay afloat for a long time with a well-planned and coordinated use of air attacks against them. And this has been proven many times in various global and local wars and in exercises too (though if these exercises did not turn into ostentatious "show masks" for very high-ranking officials).

    And in terms of the "density" of the layout, the saturation of the weapon, the same resemblance to the kriegsmarine.

    The destroyer’s feat “The Guardian”, who single-handedly took the battle with a Japanese squadron at the walls of Port Arthur.

    On the night of March 9-10 (February 25-26), 1904, a destroyer detachment, which included "Guarding" and "Resolute", went on patrol to the Elliott Islands. On the way back the pair "Guarding" and "Resolute" lost the main detachment and by mistake joined the wake of the Japanese detachment heading for the Port Arthur raid. On the approach to the raid, the Russian destroyers were identified and immediately attacked by 4 Japanese destroyers, which significantly outnumbered Russian destroyers in armament, displacement and crew size. The "Resolute" managed to break free and go to P-Arthur. The fate of the "Guardian" is known.

    That the Japanese only build "educational" ships no more "destroyer" should not mislead us. It seems to me that it is worth starting from the purpose of the ship, its weapons and displacement. But in fact it is already a helicopter carrier, just like "Haruna" - a URO cruiser.

    As for the universal destroyers...
    But this is already a Cruiser !!! Seriously, I don’t understand why many of the world’s shipbuilders, ships that, in terms of their equipment and armament (they carry all the available systems to perform various tasks, because they are universal) are universal, but in terms of displacement are SIGNIFICANTLY larger than their specialized counterparts - continue to be called destroyers.

    It must be admitted that a modern large ship of the far sea zone (or a ship of the high seas fleet, as you like) capable of performing all the combat missions of the fleet (from supporting the landing force with its weapons, to searching for boats or destroying enemy aircraft) is a CRUISER! Because such a "strange" destroyer, well, is in no way similar to its counterparts, both in terms of layout and displacement.

    I understand that many will say that modern universal vertical launch cells (UVP) have expanded the versatility of light ships. But they didn't make them FULLY multifunctional. They just blurred the line between destroyers and cruisers a little. In fact, the CWP simply allowed some of the above categories of ships to be brought together. For example, destroyers that are both air defense and strike. Due to the ability to carry missiles in their air defense systems both for combating air targets and surface targets. But here are attempts to cram the entire range of systems and weapons into one ship, or lead to the fact that the ship has everything, but just a little bit, because of which, in the event of an operation, the ship quickly loses its usefulness. Or it becomes SIGNIFICANTLY heavier than its specialized counterparts. And more weight means more displacement, area, and hence the need to increase the power of the power plant to maintain speed, and so everything changes along the chain.

    I propose to draw up a new scale for the classification of ships. The classification will be built in the form of a table. Where the columns are divided by displacement (from light security and rescue boats of the fleet to heavy aircraft carriers or nuclear cruisers) and horizontally by the type of ships or specialization.
    Then, when a ship appears somewhere, we simply look at its basic data (they are just announced, since there is no point in hiding what can be calculated from the photo and the data of which shipyard it was built in). And we see that this ship is the "Air Strike Destroyer". We look at the other, op-pa, and this is already a "light squadron aircraft carrier PLO", etc. Ship owners may be offended, but this is our classification, we made them for our convenience, and not for them.
