"Zumvalty" today will be like battleships during the Second World War - command of the US Navy

October 19, the newest US destroyer DDG-1000 Zumwalt will be launched, the event will be a “technology holiday,” mil.news.sina.com.cn reported today.

Currently, this ship is the largest in the world in its class (15000 t), originally planned as a replacement for destroyers of the type “Arly Burk” and cruisers “Ticonderoga”. The final design of the ship was approved in 2005 year, thanks to the highest degree of automation, the crew of the ship will be only 140 people. With ships of this class, the US Navy pin their hopes on maintaining dominance in the Pacific Ocean. The creation of DDG-1000 will further increase the technological gap of the United States from the navy of other countries of the world.

The use of revolutionary technology dramatically increased the cost of the ship. Initially, the price for one destroyer was estimated at 3,8 billion, but this price increased to “stunning” 7 billion (with the cost of the ships being replaced is only 1,2 billion per unit). As a result, the US Navy reduced the number of ships planned for construction from 32 to 7, then this number was reduced to three.


The command of the US Navy emphasizes that the Zumwalt class destroyers will be as powerful ships as the battleships of the Second World War were at one time. In the construction of the ship, the principle of maximum module availability has been applied. Recent advances in stealth will allow this ship to have a radio contrast comparable to a “small fishing boat.” The ship’s hull and superstructure are enclosed with radio-absorbing materials about one inch thick (1 inch is equal to 2,54 cm - approx. “VP”), the number of protruding antennas is reduced to a minimum.

The destroyer has a powerful radar potential capable of detecting low-flying enemy anti-ship missiles and even terrorist boats at long distances. The ship is equipped with ultra-long-range cruise missiles for strikes against ground and other targets from vertical launch installations. Two newest guns are capable of shooting at a distance of 150 km, but this is not the limit. The fixtures were developed by BAE Systems, the 12 m long barrels have 5000 shot survivability, the maximum range of 370 km, and within 30 minutes they can launch 600 shells along the coast of the enemy. The power plant is capable of generating 75 MW of energy, which is enough to equip the ship with promising high-energy laser systems weapons.

Destroyers will become a kind of platform for testing new naval technologies to create warships of future generations.

            LK "Tirpitz" was not in Bremen, which is 60 km from the edge of the North Sea and is connected to it by the river Vesen. The operation to destroy Tirpitz is described as follows.
            "On November 12, 1944, 32 Lancaster squadrons of the 9th and 617th squadrons took off from Great Britain and flew to the north of Norway. Here, in a bay near the port city of Tromsø, a German battleship was based. blow and return, additional tanks were installed on them and the upper turret was removed.
            During the operation, three 5-ton Tallboy bombs hit the target, and two exploded next to the battleship. A violent explosion tore off the ship's gun turret "C". Bombs tore out 200 feet of the battleship's hull. Having lost stability, the ship turned upside down and sank. Of the 1700 crew members who were on board the Tirpitz at that time, 1000 people perished, including the commander, Captain Zur-See (Captain 1st Rank) Robert Weber.

            Correct you. Tirpits is the second Bismarck-type battleship that was part of the Kriegsmarine. He practically did not participate in the hostilities, however, by his presence in Norway, he threatened the Arctic convoys in the USSR and fettered considerable forces of the British fleet. Attempts to destroy the Tirpitz continued for several years, but were unsuccessful only in November 1944 after an air attack with Tallboy type heavy bombs. the battleship was attacked by the Soviet submarine K-21 under the command of N. A. Lunin. The boat fired a salvo of four stern torpedo tubes. The crew of the boat did not directly observe the result of the attack, but heard 2 of a strong explosion and a series of explosions weaker. Lunin in his report suggested that the explosions were due to torpedoes entering the battleship, while also assuming that the torpedoes hit one of the escort destroyers. Tirpitz’s documents about Operation Horse Riding do not contain any mention of Lunin’s attack.

        I don’t remember that during the Second World War the battleships showed themselves seriously. The Second World War was the sunset era of the Battleships, then for the first time it became clear that to dominate the sea, it was not battleships that were needed, but aircraft carriers, and then rocket carriers. The comparison in my opinion is not very successful.

        7 mlr dollars are two aircraft-carrying cruisers or three powerful missile cruisers. I don’t think that 1 this destroyer will also be effective.

        Fear is caused only by guns that can possibly very effectively suppress coastal defense in the presence of a course of quick detection of targets at such a distance and the absence of long-range missiles at the enemy like a yacht ...

                As you say, art shelling ... so a "standing enemy" such a ship will not let a volley at a distance. I do not take into account "Axes" or "ASROC", but about art. If you believe the same characteristics as indicated in the article (300 km), then modern anti-ship complexes will get them. And besides, the Americans themselves will not really risk golden ships. In addition, we all know about the notorious advertising, so such performance characteristics, I think, are slightly overestimated.

                In the case of "Novorossiysk" it is generally not clear whether the Italian saboteurs were, or they appropriated fame from the explosion of a stray mine brought by the current. True, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet burst out there, there was a chance to throw himself ashore, but he did not allow, and when he did agree, it was too late. They spat a star from him, but you can't return the dead.

      The development of the AGS gun began in 2005. It can fire both unguided and guided projectiles, while they are designed specifically for this gun. Despite the fact that the caliber of 155 millimeters is widespread in US artillery, conventional shells for AGS are not suitable. The maximum firing range laid down in the project is 190 km for projectiles with GPS-guidance. Aiming with GPS allows you to fire with a maximum deviation of 50 meters - with a maximum range, the projectile will fall into a circle with a diameter of 50 meters. Guided missiles carry 11 kg of explosives. Shooting is carried out in the vertical position of the barrel. Ammunition is 335 shells, their feeding and charging are automatic. Water-cooled barrel provides a rate of 10 rounds per minute. In the photo Tests 155 mm guns AGS (Advanced Gun System

    Well, that’s where the PR company began to justify cutting cuttings.
    So 1. The range of 370 km is clearly a lie, when shooting with conventional shells, you need to remove the zero, with active reactors maybe 70-90 km. There is a railgun which is not there and will not be at the next time. Holland tried to shoot actively-reactive in Afghanistan and quickly removed these sau from there. It turned out that when firing at the maximum range, accuracy was not better, but worse than that of ordinary ones. The thing is, even with such a barrel length of 370 it doesn’t work, even if the projectile is rocket, the payload will be ridiculous.
    2. The construction of this ship is constantly accompanied by scandals and mainly about armaments. It was not for nothing that the ships would be experimental sites. The fact is that almost all the armament of the ship is incapable, according to representatives of the congressional commission, only artillery works and then at the 70s ship level years. As they declared for 7 billion we received the usual frigate.
    3. The safety of missile weapons is worrying because it is located along the sides of the ship. Since the ship does not have any reservations, it can even die from 57 mm gun fire.

          Of course. Americans ordering weapons for their ships set different requirements for the developer, but the most important thing is the ability to launch them from a standard UVP cell, so when the LRASM anti-ship missile finally appears it can be operated on all ships with an Mk41 or Mk57 UVP.

    Dear, I courageously read all the comments, except absolutely crazy.
    Nothing new: a bucket with slops is obtained - this is for everything not ours (from a slingshot for special forces to the space system) and a bucket with dewy incense for everything, darling (from AK-47, to the mythical aircraft carrier).
    Imagine that such a construct was built in Russia and will be launched the other day: 90% of the site is in an alcoholic coma from happiness and a sense of heightened patriotism, for the article - 1000, not - 15000, not what there - 100500+ laudatory ods.
    What is in reality: there is a technology demonstrator that the day after tomorrow maybe will be launched. Above him, with a file, a wrench and such and such a mother, will be burned out for more than one year. What kind of boil out of the blue? Yeah, right tomorrow it will come to our "superstitious" shores and let's choose positions for volleys wink
    If you have something to peek at and adopt from this monster - you need to use it while you have time. But I do not think that one of the members of the forum holds a sufficiently high post for such decisions.
    IMHO: "box" is very difficult, but very narrowly sharpened. I've been reading about it for a long time. And in our "ZVO" and in theirs "Dzheyny", good knowledge of English allows.

      Comrade, skepticism was not born out of nowhere. With aviation "5th generation", then everything is clear. And even if, even on the banal, visual perception of the structure, fundamental questions arise about the structure ... hmm.

      Pysy The fundamental question of the design is the name, the shape of the "nose" of the ship, let it "pierce" the waves, but what does it give? A ship like a submarine, the whole hull, except for the superstructure, is under water. What is its side height? It seems that the same wave height is enough to hide it under water, the question is:
      How will he fire from his vaunted guns or missile weapons?

    Initially, the price for one destroyer was estimated at $ 3,8 billion, but taking into account R&D, this price increased to a "staggering" $ 7 billion (the cost of replaced ships is only $ 1,2 billion per unit). As a result, the U.S. Navy reduced the number of ships planned for construction from 32 to 7, then this number was reduced to three.

    No matter how perfect it is, but its price is almost like that of an aircraft carrier. Despite the fact that the technology has not yet been developed and it will be possible to judge its qualities after a serious military operation.

      I wonder how these 140 people, if something happens, will conduct an event called BZZH (damage control)? Even if nothing anti-ship arrives on board, there are still storms, typhoons, reefs with shallows and other icebergs. And you don't have to lie about super-super-echo sounders and ZhPSy - one of the "Elks" managed to drive with all the foolishness into the rock, and the heaped up GAS did not help. Again, all these "stealth" lines are not by themselves, they somehow affect strength, seaworthiness, and so on (to the detriment of the latter).

        The interesting thing is: how do these 140 people, in which case, conduct an event called the BZZH (struggle for survivability)?

        They do not bet on it: they got on the rafts and set sail. In my opinion, so, but I will not confirm, I do not know their instructions. Submarine Los Angeles consists of three compartments, ours have up to 6-7 compartments, two-hull. Another approach.
        Even if nothing anti-ship arrives on board, there are still storms, typhoons, reefs with shallows and other icebergs there.

        Here you will not guess, it does not depend on the number of crew. Another thing is that the nose is different, cuts the wave, will bury. The entire upper deck before the superstructure will be in the water: there should be sealed turret guns, the question is: how did they get around this moment?
        ... Again, all these "stealth" lines are not on their own, they somehow affect strength, seaworthiness, and so on (to the detriment of the latter).

        These contours are higher than the waterline, they do not affect the seaworthiness, on the contrary, the windage is less, everything is oblique. Convenience, the work of deck mechanisms, mooring, etc., is another matter. It seems that the upper deck is not the main one, a tank with a waist. Cutting and fencing of antennas are most likely made of plastic, it is radio-transparent + light, stability is improved.
        If the boat is supposed to be used as part of an order, which will come to the aid in difficult times, then what is the point in all this invisibility?
        So the rocket it will be harder to search for it, like the ship. In any case, this advantage, more pronounced than on the F-117, does not affect speed. The only thing: the nose is in doubt. I think they will redo it later.

      The US Department of Defense has made several changes to the development program for promising DDG-1000 Zumwalt class destroyers, Defense News reports. In particular, the Pentagon decided to develop "from scratch" half of the radar system of new destroyers, as well as to extend the ship development program for one year - now it will end not in 2015, but in 2016.
      The Pentagon has completely removed half of the promising system from the dual-band radar development program for DDG-1000 - the work on creating the SPY-4 surround search radar will be discontinued in the near future. Instead, an AMDR missile defense radar will be created. This radar will also be used in the destroyers of the DDG-51 Arleigh Burke sub-series Flight III.
      Thanks to the new radar, the DDG-1000 destroyers will also be able to fulfill the role of missile defense ships. Which of the American companies will create a new radar is still unknown. The SPY-4 was developed by Lockheed Martin. The second half of the integrated radar system DDG-1000 creates Raytheon. This company is developing a multifunctional radar SPY-3.
      Meanwhile, in May 2010, the Pentagon had to re-certify the DDG-1000 development program in Congress, as the cost of the project violated the Nunn-Mackerdy ​​statute - the cost of the final product under the project increased by more than 50 percent. This was due to the fact that in 2008 the Pentagon reduced the volume of orders for ships from seven to three units. However, the cost of the development program has not been reduced.
      Multipurpose destroyers of the Zumwalt class are designed to attack coastal and ground targets, as well as to combat aircraft and provide fire support to troops from the sea. After making all the changes to the project, the ships will also be able to fulfill the role of missile defense. The construction of Zumwalt began in February 2008. As expected, the first ship called Zumwalt the U.S. Navy will receive testing in April 2013, and the second - Michael Monsoor - in May 2014.
      Zumwalt, which is 183 meters long, can reach speeds of up to 30 knots. The destroyer's armament consists of 20 MK 57 VLS launchers, designed for 80 missiles, as well as two 155-mm guns and two Mk 110 anti-aircraft guns of 57-caliber caliber. In addition, two Sikorsky SH-60 Sea Hawk helicopters and three MQ-8 Fire Scout unmanned helicopters can be based on Zumwalt. The development of the latter is in jeopardy.

    The dubious stability of the boat with such contours, especially with great excitement and at maximum speed. Wunderwaffle definitely.
    Wanted 37 pieces, then 7, now one would be pulled in their dying economy. The price for one destroyer is $ 7 billion. belay , and it’s more expensive than an aircraft carrier negative

    It is strange that no one wondered.
    With this design of the "bow", the ship, "piercing" the wave, with its height equal to the height of the side, will submerge the whole hull under the water, except for the superstructure. How will he fire from his weapons and missile "mines"?

    will stand and wait for calm?

    I don’t know how it will fare as a battleship, but the glory of the Bismarck haunted the allies for a long time, since the Tirpitz was its twin brother, although it did not have such combat experience.

    By the way, "Bismarck" was sunk by its crew on the second day of a collision with 2 English squadrons - its rudders jammed after a torpedo attack by "Soudfish", it could only circle in place. He already had a heavy case on his account. the cruiser Hood and a couple of auxiliary cruisers.

    The price-quality ratio is simply terrible, another cut of the gigantic US military budget.
