Last week, Huntigton Ingalls Industries, Huntigton Ingalls Industries announced that he began to form the body of the first destroyer of the Arle Berk class of the Flight III series "Jack Lucas". A cutting of the first 100 tons of steel was carried out on shipyard in the city of Pascagula (Mississippi) - the center of American shipbuilding. This is written by the American edition of Defense News.

"Huntington Ingalls Industries Corporation - US shipbuilding company, formed on March 31, 2011 by allocating Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding from Northrop Grumman, - Gazeta.Ru reminded from the deputy, Northrop Grumman - Northrop Grumman Ship Systems and Northrop Grumman Newport News.

Esmian will be named after marine Marine Jack Lucas, who during World War II fought at the Pacific Theater of Military Action.

For heroism, manifested during the Battle of the Japanese Island Iodzima, Lucas was awarded the Higher Military Awards of the United States - Honor Medals.

The appearance of this ship of the US Navy will drastically change the radar station (radar) Raytheon AN / Spy-6 corporation, designed to solve anti-airframe and missile defense problems.

"The modernization of ship radar seemed to us the extremely necessary measure against the background of success in the shipbuilding of China and Russia. The US Navy raise its goal to be headed above in Moscow and Beijing in this area, "said Arle Berk Eks-Commander, Brian Makgrat, currently - Consultant Ferry Bridge Group.

"RLS Esming" Arly Berk "in the SPY-1 version served us well and for a long time, but the character of threats has changed, and the fleet needs a new radar station," McGrath told, - and the RLS Spy-6 is the radar that we need .

This will allow to detect objects with a smaller efficient scattering surface on significantly large ranges, which will increase the time to make the necessary solutions for combat application managed weapon. "

In a conversation with Gazeta.ru, Konstantin Makienko noted that Jack Lucas is the first of five destroyers contracted in June 2013. "The contract immediately for five ships allows the company to build the destroyers more efficiently, ahead of time to buy raw materials and materials. Currently, the shipyards Paul Ignatius (DDG 117), Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121) and Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123), "said the expert.

According to him, the main difference of the ships of the Flight III series from the preceding versions of the Arle Berk class destination will be the replacement of the AN / SPY-1 radar complex of the Aegis multifunction system with a new AMDR-S radar complex (Air and Missile Defense Radar S-Band) with active A phasned antenna grid (AFAR), which has increased characteristics in solving missile defense problems. The complex will allow ships to implement, on American terminology, "integrated air defense and pro" (Integrated Air and Missile Defense - IAMD).

As Defense News writes, the placement on the ship of a radical new radar required 45% alteration of the destroyer case. In addition, a promising radar will require a completely different power supply system, much more powerful in comparison with the previous version.

But, according to the American developers, the AN / SPY-6 radar with an active phased grid, created using Gallium nitride, will have 30 times greater sensitivity than, rather than previous version This radar An / Spy-1. In addition, there will be a circular review.

And this will dramatically increase the combat capabilities of the FLIGHT III series in the field of anti-airflowing and missile defense.

According to some data, the possibility of simultaneous interception of 22 or more air facilities will be achieved using anti-aircraft controlled medium-range missiles of the RIM-162 ESSM type equipped with semi-active radar heads of homing.

In addition, Defense News writes, the possibilities of Jack Lucas will increase significantly in the field of radio-electronic combat and passive radar, which will allow to detect and accompany air objects without reaching the ether. This is a big advantage of the new destroyer, since the high voltage raising on the transmitting devices and the exit to the air every time the ship's location.

On the Flight III series, the number of vertical starters (OHP) type MK41 will be significantly increased. The ship will be equipped with two MK41 OHP modules (48 cells - in nose and 80 - in feed), in which 88 ZUR SM-3 and SM-6, 32 ZUR ESSM (4 missiles in 8 cells), 24 Winged missiles Tomahawk TLAM , 8 missiles Plouro ASROC. In addition, the destroyer will receive one 155-mm artillery installation of AGS, two anti-air-rocket complex of the near-line RAM, two 25-mm AU MK 38 MOD 2, eight 12,7 mm machine guns, four 324-mm three-tube torpedo machines MK 32 and Two helicopters SH-60B Seahawk.

Tomahawk TLAM can be downloaded for Jack Lucas. Displacement of the new destroyer will be 9,200 tons, and the crew will consist of 341 sailors.

"The destroyer" Arly Berk "is the largest supervisory type of surface warry With full displacement of more than 5,000 tons for the entire post-war history of the fleet, "Konstantin Makienko reminded.

Currently, the US Navy is 62 of the Arle Berk type, i.e., the number of these ships exceeds the number of destroyers under the flags of all other countries of the world.

The head ship of the project was admitted in 1991. Esming of this type is expected to serve as part of the US Navy at least until 2070. In 2018, the American fleet is ready to book 10 Arle Berk Class Esming of the Flight III series.

In June 2011, the US Naval Force command announced its plans for the future of destroyers from US NAVY. Perspective squadrons were too expensive for mass production, therefore it was decided to leave the Arleigh Burk Navy as the main destroyer. In addition, the vehicles of type "Arly Berk" Fleet will be replenished until the beginning of the thirties of this century.

During this time, American shipyards will collect two dozen destroyers. Based on the United States of the United States for the Navy for the Navy, it is assumed that the last vehicle of the Arle Berk will be withdrawn from the Fleet only in the seventies of this century. Apparently, the US Navy command has its own considerations that allow you to enter these destroyers in such a long-term perspective.

To ensure the advantages of the USSR navy in the mid-70s, American military sailors wished to receive the destroyers of a new project. Recently appeared "sprunes", although they were modern ships, still did not have great prospects and demanded that if not replacements, then, at least, a serious addition.

In addition to this, Spruance Class Destroyers, despite the existing weapons, in official documents Activated as the usual destroying destroyers, and the time and the situation required full-fledged uro escils (with a rocket weapon). Work on the formation of the appearance of a new ship and a technical task was taken by several years and the development competition began only in 1980. For about three years, it took immediately seven shipbuilding companies to create competitive advancedes, after which there are three contestants: Bath Iron Works, Ingalls Shipbuilding and Todd Shipyard.

The third company could not achieve the "attention" of the competition commission, which is why the construction of the first two ships of the new project was instructed by Bath Iron Works and Ingalls Shipbuilding, respectively. The project, as well as the head of his ship, was named after Admiral Orly Albert Berk, most of the Second World War, who commanded various compounds of destroyers.

The contract with Bath Iron Works by $ 322 million was enclosed in April 85th. However, the total cost of the head destroyer turned out several times more. Taking into account the entire radio electronic equipment, weapons, etc. He walked around the Pentagon of 1.1 billion.

Building USS. ARLEIGH BURKE (DDG-51) began at the end of 1988, and on the 1991 Independence Day he entered service. In the future two shipyards - Bath Iron Works and Ingalls Shipbuilding - another two dozen of such ships were built. The first two dozen ships of the new project were made in accordance with the first version of the project, which received the name Flight I. However, soon after the start of construction of the head project of the first series, American shipbuilders took up modernization.

As a result, the USS Mahan destroyed in the 1992th destraightened as the first ship of the second series. The construction of the destroyers of the Flight II version had a more modest scale: only seven ships. It is argued that the small second series was originally considered as a transitional link from the first to the third. So it happened, however, contrary to logic, the new version of the project had not a triple in the index, but the designation IIa. This line turned out to be the most numerous.

At the moment, 34 destroyers "Arly Berk" of the IIA series and the construction continues are built. The total number of ships in the old plans should have been 75 units, but for now only 62 destroyers.
Most likely, those 24 destroyers who will be ordered subsequently will be done according to the following version of the project.

All existing series of ships - I, II and IIA - have only minor differences in the design. They are caused by the features of installed equipment and features of the operation of helicopters. The rest of the design is similar. "Arly Berk" of all three episodes are one-poultry ships with long semi. It is noteworthy that the vast majority of the parts of the ship's body are made of high-strength steel varieties. The fact is that after World War II, American shipbuilders began to actively use aluminum parts in the design of ships of such a class.

In engineering, it was a good undertaking, however, the experience of fighting with the participation of aluminum ships forced to return to the steel. From aluminum on the destroyers "Arle Berk", only some details are made, for example, masts. The low-grade housing has a relatively small collapse of the splits in the nose and a relatively wide middle part. Such a shape of the body increases the resistance of water slightly, but improves stability and reduces the ridge. On the ships of the IIA series, a nasal bouffomb was added, compensating the deterioration of flow due to the features of the body of the case.

Waterproof bulkheads divide the internal volume of the housing to 13 compartments. It is curious that the lower decks have a planning, allowing without restrictions to move around the ship without leaving the upper deck. This is done so that the crew is not at risk in case of applying weapons mass lesion. In addition to the specially planned indoor premises, the crew protection against chemical, biological and nuclear weapons is carried out by a special ventilation system with multiple filtering of air taken outside.

Arle Berk became the first American squadded destroyers, whose corps and superstructure were made using stealth technologies. To reduce radar visibility, the outer surface of the ship's superstructure consists of several large smooth panels conjugate under acute angles, which leads to a tangible dissipation of radio waves. The smoke pipe housings are performed in the same way. In addition, the exhaust of the power plant before the emission passes through a special mixing chamber, which is mixed with atmospheric air and cooled.

As a result, Arle Berk type ships are almost twice smaller radar and thermal visibility than their spheruens type predecessors. The use of large details that contribute to a decrease in visibility, among other things, made the design of the ship modular. Due to this, from bookmarking the ship to its descent to water takes 10-15 weeks.

The two-level energy installation of the Arle Berk destroyers of all episodes is in its composition four gas turbine engines LM2500 manufactured by General Electric. Each engine is equipped with a thermal insulating circuit, which reduces fuel consumption by almost a quarter, and is installed on shock absorbing supports that reduce noise. The entire energy installation of the ship is a single module that can be removed entirely if necessary.

The maximum possible power of the power plant is in the range of 100-105 thousand horse power . As backup engines on the destroyers of all episodes, there are three Allison 2500 gas turbine engines. The power of the main and backup engines is transmitted to two shafts, rotating the plug-in steps of the changeable step.

The Squaded Museums of the Arle Berk project are able to develop speed up to 32 nodes, but the maximum range of swimming is achieved at economic velocity in 20 nodes. In this case, the destroyers of the first series can pass to 4,400 maritime miles, and the ships of the series II and IIa are 500 miles more. At the same time, in some American sources it is argued that a reduction in speed of up to 18 nodes can bring the range of swimming up to six thousand miles. Nevertheless, there are some doubts about this.

The first 28 vehicles of the type "Arle Berk" (Series I and II) had the crew in 320-350 people: 22-25 officers and 300-330 sailors, Warrent officers, etc. The difference in the number was due to some differences in armament and in the number of helicopters. On the vehicles of the IIA series was revised required amount Crew in a number of services and added a group of technical maintenance of two helicopters. All this led to an increase in the crew to 380 people (32 officers).

Americans emphasize the fact that in the planning of residential premises of Arle Berk ships, designers and specialists in ergonomics participated. Due to this, at the area of \u200b\u200babout four square meters per person managed to create everything the necessary conditions For normal accommodation.

The arms of the army "Arly Berk" includes many systems, but its basis is the Aegis management system (read "IJIS"). This multifunctional combat information management system (Bius) combines a whole set of detection, control and lesion tools. The composition of Aegis includes a multifunctional radar with a phased antenna lattice, radar detection of air and surface targets, radio-electronic struggle equipment, communication equipment, etc. In addition, "IJIS" has a number of information conclusions, data transfer to other ships and direct weapons management systems.

The basis of the armament of the destroyers "Arle Berk" are rockets of various types. In the nasal and forage parts of the ships of all episodes there are universal mine starting installations MK 41. On the ships of the series I and II, the nose and a stern launcher have 30 and 60 cells in their composition, respectively. On the IIA series, the number of cells increased to 32 and 64.

A transport and starting container with a winged rocket BGM-109 Tomahawk, anti-aircraft SM-2 or SM-3 or a block of four containers with anti-aircraft missiles RIM-7 SEA Sparrow can be placed in one cell. The launching equipment allows you to simultaneously prepare for the start of 16 missiles of various types and make them starting with a pace one rocket per second.

In addition to launchers, MK 41 has several cranes to download TPK with rockets. However, the features of the crane equipment and the design of the destroyer do not allow Tomahawk or SM-2/3 missile overload from the supply ships. Loading such means of lesion is possible only under base conditions. This disadvantage is compensated by the flexibility of the arms nomenclature: if the ship is to attack ground targets, then it receives "Tomahaws" if the ship will perform functions anti-heart defense - SEA Sparrow or SM-2/3 is loaded on it.

"Chief Caliber" artillery armament of destroyers - 127 mm Installation MK 45. At the same time, MK 45 MOD was installed on the first 30 copies of Arle Berk. 2, on the rest - MK 45 mod. 4. Installation with anti-counter-booking can core 127 mm rimming guns ranging from -15 ° to + 65 ° vertically and practically in all directions horizontally, of course, with the exception of the sector closed by the superstructure of the ship.

The shooting paced MK 45 ordinary shells reaches 20 shots per minute, and in the case of manageable ammunition, it falls twice.
Maximum shooting range by unmanaged projectile at MK 45 mod. 4 is 35-38 kilometers.
When using a managed active-reactive ERGM projectile, this indicator increases to 115 kilometers.
In the artillery cellar of the destroyers "Arle Berk" fits the ammunition in 680 shells of various types. It takes about 15-16 hours to download all this number of shells.

Flak "Arle Berk" can be equipped with various types of weapons. On ships I, II series, as well as on the first few destroyers of the IIA series were established six-power 20-mm anti-aircraft machines MK 15 Phalanx Ciws with shooting paced up to 3000 shots per minute. A smaller amount of ships was equipped with a 25-mm automatic guns of Bushmaster, and almost all "Arly Berk" have several (from three to six) large-caliber machine guns Brauning M2HB.

Despite its initial purpose, M2HB and Bushmaster are ineffective for anti-heart defense. Therefore, they are used only for training personnel and shelling small goals, like light boats and motor boats.

To destroy more serious aerial targets on the destroyers of all three episodes, there are 2 MK 32 torpedo vessels with common ammunition in 6 torpedoes. It can be MK 46 or MK 50. When creating the "Arly Berk" destroyers, the main emphasis was made on rocket armsTherefore, recharging the torpedo devices by the crew by the crew after the shooting of all six torpedoes is not provided. In early versions of the project, engineers considered the possibility of use of deep bombs on Arle Berk, but even before Flight I, this tactical and technical solution did not reach.

On the deck of ships of the first and second series could be based on the SH-60 helicopter. Next to the landing site was located a tank for kerosene and a small "warehouse" with a weapon - nine torpedoes MK 46. On the helicopters intended for the content on the "Arly Berk" destroyer, the LAMPS-3 anti-submarine system is established, integrated into the general Bius Aegis.

Due to the limited volumes of ships of the first two episodes, they did not have any means of maintenance or repair of the helicopter, except those that are on board. Thus, any more or less serious breakdowns led to the fact that the ship remained without the coalcasting "Eye". When creating a version of the project IIA, these disadvantages were taken into account and shipbuilders made a special helicopter hangar in the feed part of the ship hull, so that the aviation group of the destroyer increased twice.

This required to introduce a group of technical services to the crew. Also, engineers have increased the volume of the arsenal for helicopter weapons: at Arly Berk, the IIA series in it is fits up to 40 torpedoes, the air-earth missiles of various types and even a few CRRK.

The Merley Berk type destroyers participated in several military conflicts, starting almost from the very beginning of their service. Iraq in 1996, 1998 and 2003, Yugoslavia in 1999 and a few more operations. Thanks to its large quantity (at the moment there are sixty ships in the ranks) These destroyers participate in almost every campaign american Navy. However, in Russia these ships are more famous thanks to the Mission of the destroyer USS McFaul (DDG-74), which he performed in August 2008. Recall, then, a few days after the end of the infamous "three eight" war, this ship brought 55 tons of humanitarian cargo to Georgian port of Batumi.

In addition to the combat success and interesting design, the Arle Berk destroyer are in some kind of record holders in the American Fleet. The fact is that with full displacement of about 8,500 tons (series I), 9000 tons (series II) and 9650 (IIa series) Arle Berk is the most massive American warship with displacement of more than five thousand tons. This fact suggests that this type of ships is an undoubted success of American shipbuilding.

Also in favor of the success of the project, the fact that the Japanese were interested in their time. In 1993-95, the Naval Forces of the Self-Defense of Japan included four Esminets like "Congo". In fact, these are the same "Arly Berk", but refined in such a way as to fit legal features Japanese fleet.

Like any other project, Arle Berk eventually had to be replaced by a newer technique. But, unfortunately for US NAVY, a promising project of Esmina Uro called Zumwalt was much more expensive than planned. Thanks to such a failure, the "Roomolt" "Arly Berk" will remain in the future.

When taking into service these ships it was planned that they would serve about 35 years. But the lack of the possibility of mass production of the destroyers Zumwalt forced the command of the American fleet to start last year the creation of a new version of the project (Series III) and designate plans for purchasing 24 ships over 75 already ordered.

Together with the assumption of the possible duration of the Arle Berk service until the 2070s, this can help this destroyer to establish another record. This time on the service life.

The destroyers have long become working horses of the modern military fleet. The latest and most complex version of such a ship destroyer class " ARLEIGH BURKE" The modern platform for weapons and the most modern radar system allowed these ships to dominate the seas for decades ahead. It is these warships that define the standards of world military shipbuilding for many years. What is the secret of the famous squadded destroyers.

The photo above presents the modern squadrocks of the class " ARLEIGH BURKE" They are in service with the US Navy and are considered the best ships in the world due to their versatility. Not only today " ARLEIGH BURKE" this is esminets Recordsmen - their displacement is 5000 tons. According to this indicator, they are considered the most large superwater ships for the entire post-war history of the American fleet.

head destroyer "USS ARLEIGH BURKE"

head destroyer "USS ARLEIGH BURKE"

Esminets class " ARLEIGH BURKE"American designers began to develop back in the late 70s. New ships should have replaced by other destroyers who were fought during the Second World War and were considered obsolete, and the main requirement in the development of new-type destroyers was universality. The ship was supposed to exceed everything that by the time of the USSR fleet.

As a result, on July 4, 1991, American shipyards built the first destroyer new series " USS ARLEIGH BURKE"(On-board number DDG 51), which has become a real masterpiece of military shipbuilding. He was named after Admiral Aleigh A. Burke - the legendary commander of the destroyer of the period of World War II. Fighting B. Pacific Ocean ARLEIGH A. BURKE Commanded 23 Escades of the destroyers; I won several key battles with the Japanese fleet, including the battle of Cape St. George in November 1943. And also played a significant role in the formation of the post-war fleet.

new approaches of shipbuilding destroyers of the class "Arleigh Burke"

Esminets class " ARLEIGH BURKE»Demonstrate new approaches of shipbuilding and one of the most impressive changes - the form of the hull. Traditionally, the destroyers were long and narrow. Designers of this ship approached this problem differently. In the ship architecture of the destroyer " ARLEIGH BURKE"One unique value is preserved this ratio of length to width, which means an increase in stability. The experience of operating the destroyers of this class confirms the benefits of a new design. When sea excitement and wave heights up to 7 meters, these combat ships are able to save speed speed up to 25 knots.

In addition to the unique form of the case esminets Received other changes in ship architecture. For example, return to the steel structure. The fact is that the destroyers of the Second World War were made of steel, and by the 60th and 70s steel was replaced by aluminum. The change in the material was caused by weighing radars and other sensors located on masts. Aluminum excellent steel alternative (minor weight), but it has certain disadvantages - a vulnerability to fire. Constructors of modern destroyer " ARLEIGH BURKE"Decided to return to steel, but at the same time retained many modern electronic systems that became indispensable in all modern ships. The vital premises of the destroyers of this class are additionally protected by 25 mm thick arm and coated with kevlarom.

Esminets « ARLEIGH BURKE»Have more compact design than its predecessors. Their superstructures are calm, less turmoil than for the previous designs.

the fighting opportunities of the destroyer "ARLEIGH BURKE"

The changes in the architecture gave the Esming of the survivability in battle, but the initial ships of this class may seem simply devoid of weapons. However, the appearance of deceptive.

Esminets class " ARLEIGH BURKE»Equipped with arms of non-analogues in the world - installation of the vertical MK-41 start. Surprisingly, this system is able to produce one-managed rocket per second, which means that in just a few minutes the American destroyer is able to hit about a hundred goals of the enemy. All ammunition can be released in two minutes.

Each ship is equipped with 29 nose and 61 feed vertical launchers, in which four types of rockets are placed. Anti-aircraft controlled missiles SM-2 "Standard" capable of destroying the targets of the enemy in a distance of 166 km. Anti-submarine rockets-torpedoes RUM-139 "VL-ASROC" with a distance of efficient shooting over 16 km. Anti-Lord Rockets AGM-84 "Harpoon", threatening even because of the horizon and finally, the main caliber of the BGM-109 "Tomahawk" Winged missiles.

In addition to launchers on board esminsev class " ARLEIGH BURKE»127 mm Artillery installation with ammunition 680 shells, two six-solid 20 mm anti-aircraft artillery installations" Phalanx»And four machine guns of the system" Browning.»Calibrome 12.7 mm. In addition to the deck weapons, two helicopters of SH-60B "Seahawk" can be placed with antique and anti-herineal sets, expanding the radius of the destroyer, allowing to detect and attack enemy targets for tens of kilometers. With such an arsenal on board, these warships can not only protect the squadron, but also to apply high-precision strikes on the enemy ships. In other words, these warships are not just a tactical unit of weapons, but also operational-tactical, that is, to hit the goals in the depths of the enemy.

Combat power of the Esming class " ARLEIGH BURKE»Already you can not evaluate only by armament. Much more important electronic sensors. They allow you to accurately determine the goal on distant approaches and send weapons with stunning accuracy. This was made possible thanks to the newest management system. Aegis." Her differences from previous systems is that it combines all the technical and combat equipment of the destroyer and herself controls them. Depending on the tactical situation " Aegis."Redistinates goals depending on the degree of threat. For example, when reflecting an array attack from the air, the system stops searching for new purposes and focuses on accompanied and destroying detected. " Aegis.»This is a computing center of twenty powerful computers, fundamentally new radars with a limit range of detection of goals up to 450 km. Its hexagon radiating antennas are hidden from the enemy's eyes and mounted in the plane of the add-on destroying.

Esmina " ARLEIGH BURKE»Are the most common military warships of their class. The sea defense forces of Japan are in service with class ships " ATAGO.", In the Navy of South Korea Class" "and all of them are analogues of American" ARLEIGH BURKE"And they have in their armament of the system" Aegis." In addition to Asian countries, such ships are available in Norway and Spain. Many of the countries are trying to create similar ships, but it turns out for only the People's Republic of China.

The first destroyer class "Arly Burk I" was adopted Navy Navy USA in 1991. The contract for the construction of ships was divided between two Litton and Ingalls SB companies.

Ships of the Arly Burk I series are the main and most numerous representatives of the class EM Destroyer in Navy Naval US - by the end of the 1990s it is planned to have Navy Naval About 50 such ships.

Getting Started by the creation of the Omina of the type "Arly Burk I" Americans proceeded from two fundamental moments: the ship must have a high vitality and have MFS IJIS. The composition of weapons adopted the same as on thikonner, only reducing the total number of cell containers MK41 from 122 to 90. Compared to the spruneur, the speed decreased slightly. From other innovations, it should be noted a gas turbine power plant with a heat-controlled contour, which made it possible to give 25 percent savings of fuel, an improved system of protection against weapons of mass lesion (in particular, all the doors on the external contour are equipped with air tamboras), a device for a torpedo leading, artillery control system Fire with laser rangefinders.

EM Destroyer type "Arly Burk I" are designed as a cruiser URO Managed rocket weapon type of thicondress, for zonal protection against air attack of NK compounds (first Aug Aircraft shock group), landing groups and convoys, combating PL Submarine and NK opponent, artillery support for landing operations, tracking ships probable opponent, ensuring the sea blockade of certain areas, as well as participation in search and rescue operations. At the same time, "Arly Burk I", compared to thikonner, has smaller sizes, best parameters The stability and combat vitality (due to the increased width of the case, the absence of AMG in the designs of the add-ons and the more rational division of the body to waterproof compartments).

For "Arly Burk I" a new building was developed with full intensities in the nose and small collapse of the surface branches of the nasal spangling. According to experts Navy Naval The United States, despite some increase in water resistance, such a form of the hull has the best nautical qualities. These include the smoothness and smallness of the wrappings, the moderation of pouring and splashing, the small corners of the roll of circulation. The body of the ship is steel, with characteristic elongated far in the stern of the semi-kilk. It is divided by waterproof bulkheads, reaching the upper deck, on 13 compartments and has a double bottom for all over, as well as two continuous decks, not counting the top. The collapse of the sides is more than 8 ° at a significant part of the length, the housing is made low-speed. During the test, the possibility of maintaining the speed of stroke 30 nodes under hurricane wind and excitement to 9 points was demonstrated.

When designing "Arly Burk I" special attention It was paid to the issues of ensuring constructive protection and survivability. To this end, the size of a fully steel superstructure minimized, its outer surfaces obtained a slope to the main plane with surfaces lined with radio absorbing coatings to reduce EPRs. To reduce the heat field chimneys equipped with special mixing chambers in which exhaust gases are mixed with cold air; Vital combat posts were located in the ship's corps; AP WEV was distributed over the ship in order to reduce the likelihood of defeat. Premises GEU Home Energy Installation, WEV and management posts have kevlar anti-skil protection. To protect the mechanisms and equipment below the KVL also serves as a local booking of high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloys up to 25.4 mm thick. The plates from these alloys are protected by the main waveguides and cables, as well as the most important combat posts (BIP premises, Boezaas cellar and the upper tiers of add-ons). The ship provides for a system of collective protection against OMP. Also to reduce hydroacoustic visibility EM Destroyer Equipped with air supply systems under the bottom of "Masker" and to the edges of the blade shovels Prairie.

The main means of lighting air and surface situation is multifunctional RLS Radar station An / Spy-1d with four headlights. To provide a circular review, they are mounted on the outer surfaces of the nasal surface of the superstructure. RLS Radar station Can detect and accompany air targets at distances up to 400 km. Data on air target elements are transmitted to Bius and the information display system, as well as a system for developing recommendations to the ship commander to make decisions. Of Bius Combat Information and Management System Air information information is transmitted to SU shooting SP Anti-aircraft rocket complexes and Zak Anti-Archlery Complex MK 99, in which there are three RLS Radar station AN / SPG-62, designed to control Zour Anti-aircraft controlled rocket and highlighting shelled Mz. System Zour Anti-aircraft controlled rocket MK 99 can simultaneously manage 18 Zour Anti-aircraft controlled rocket. Information display systems and making recommendations to the commander may also receive information from RLS Radar station AN / SPS-67 on air and surface atmosphere, from Gak Hydroacoustic complex SQQ-89 (V) 4 on underwater atmospheric and from AN / SLQ-32 complexes on radio setting. In addition, these systems can receive information from other NK and LA. Based on the information obtained, decisions are developed on the use of a weapon.

Feature "Arly Burk I" Unlike the rest of the American EM Destroyer and Kr Winged rocket URO Managed rocket weapon is the absence of a helicopter hangar. There is only Runway Runway With the system forced landing RAST.

EM Destroyer Type "Arly Burk I" took part in all conflicts of the end of the XX - early XXI century. The presence on VPU ships allowed not only to provide tasks PVA Anti-air defense and Pro Anti-rocket defense Aug Aircraft shock groupBut also to participate in the deposition of shocks.

Summarizing the above can be concluded that the Esming of the type "Arly Burk I" is truly successful high-end ships capable of acting equally successfully in the most different conditions When performing various tasks. American shipbuilders managed to achieve a rare harmony in the nautical qualities of the ship, his architecture and armament. EM Destroyer Type "Arly Burk I" is quite possible to be called one of the best ships of the late twentieth century.

A series of Arles Burk II and a series of Arles Burk Iia became worthy of the continuation of the Arly Burk I series.

12.10.2000 In Yemen, in the port of Aden, there was an explosion on board the ship. At first it was reported that the cruiser was attacked by a boat, loaded explosives.

Squaded Museum of Type "Arleigh Burke" (Russian. "Arly Burk) is the type of Squaded Mission URO (with a managed rocket weapon) of the fourth generation. The destroyers are built on the orders of the US Navy since 1988, the construction of ships of this type continues. The title of type was given by the head ship, Esmina Uro "Arly Burk", named after the American Admiral of World War II. The first squadrock dust community type "Arli Burk" was introduced to the US Atlantic Fleet on July 4, 1991. After write-off on September 21, 2005 last destroyer type SPRYUTIS USS CUSHING in the US Navy remained the only type of squadron police officers URO - Squaded Mission "Arly Burk".


For May 2010, the Arly Burk destroyer is the largest typewriter type of a surface wagon with full displacement of more than 5,000 tons for the entire post-war fleet history. Given the fairly low rates of construction of the destroyers in other states, in the coming years no state of the world will be able to beat this peculiar record.

In addition to the US Fleet, the four vehicles of the Arly Burk type, the truth with a somewhat modified design and built by civil standards (the Congo Squaders of the Congo City Center), are in service with the naval forces of the self-defense of Japan. For 2000, it was planned to introduce three more ships to Japan's Navy for another three ships, modernized to the level of the IIA series, but at the present time the construction of these ships refused to favor more perfect squaded Datternships like "Atago" .

Appointment of ships of this type


To the number of major combat missions set in front of the squadded police officers of the URO type "Arly Burk" belong:

  1. Protection of its own aircraft carrier and ship shock groups from the massive enemy rocket attacks, which uses anti-religious missiles, launched from both surface ships and with nuclear submarines with missile complexes.
  2. Film defense of their own forces (fleet compounds, convoys or individual ships) from opponent aviation.
The secondary tasks of the ships of this type are:

  • Fighting PL and surface vehicles of the enemy;
  • Ensuring the sea blockade of certain areas;
  • Artillery Support landing operations;
  • Tracking of enemy ships;
  • Participation in search and rescue operations.
Due to the combat capacity of the system "IJIS" , Squaded Museum of Type "Arly Burk" are able to conduct a speed three-dimensional battle (with simultaneous provision of anti-aircraft, anti-relief and anti-parental defense) in conditions high degree Threats from the enemy. Compared with crecers "Ticonderoga" , Merley Burk-type destroyers have smaller overall dimensions, the best stability parameters and combat vitality, and also equipped mainly and more advanced modifications of radio-electronic, anti-aircraft and artillery weapons. When designing, and then the construction of the Districted Mission of the Arley Burk type, the project designers tried to realize the navy substantiation of this type: create a ship having 3/4 possibilities of Toconderoga missile cruisers for 2/3 of the prices of the latter.

The history of the construction of the construction of ships series


Story Development

Development of ESOs URO new type capable of complementing 31 Esminets type "Sprewish" And replacing the destroyers of previous types, began in the late 1970s and, as a result, led to the creation of the appearance of ships of this type and the appearance of a program for their construction. Principle new Type Esminsev URO should have become a means to achieve the superiority of the US Navy over the Navy of the Soviet Union. Initially, the development of a new project of the District Mission was proposed in 1980 to designers of seven shipbuilding enterprises. Their number already in 1983 decreased to three companies: Todd Shipyards, Bath Iron Works, and Ingalls Shipbuilding.

As a result, on 5 April 1985, the contract for the construction of the first ship of the ι series has achieved a shipbuilding shipyard of Bath Iron Works. The contract was concluded in the amount of $ 321.9 million, and the total cost of the first-history destroyer, together with the weapon, was $ 1.1 billion (in 1983 prices). Verf Bath Iron Works also received a contract for the construction of the 3rd and 4th destroyer in the series, and later achieved new and new contracts. The second destroyer of the first series was ordered by the second company, Ingalls Shipbuilding (the company Todd Shipyards could not get a contract).

Serial Construction

After the order for the construction of the first three destroyers (DDG-51 - 53), on December 13, 1988, was followed by the construction of another five destroyers of the series. At this order, on February 22, 1990, a new on construction of an additional five destroyers was followed, then the shipment was received (dated January 16, 1991) to four more destroyers. The last order for five destroyers of the first series of the ship was received by the shipyards of Bath Iron Works and Ingalls Shipbuilding on April 8, 1992, and the last of the five destroyed in 1992 of the destroyers, Maheng, was already completed as the Flight II ship.

Orders for ships II series were distributed as follows: 19 - 21 January 1993 - four destroyers (DDG-73 - DDG-76), July 20, 1994 - Three (DDG-77 - DDG-79), and the last of these three destroyers, Oscar Austin, built on the Flight IIA project.

Orders for the construction of ships of the IIA series were carried out on the following dates: January 6, 1995 - three units. (DDG-80 - DDG-82), June 20, 1996 - two units. (DDG-83 - DDG-84), December 13, 1996 - four units. (DDG-85 - DDG-88), March 6, 1998 - thirteen units. (DDG-89 - DDG-101), September 13, 2002 - Eleven Units. (DDG-102 - DDG-112), June 15, 2011 - one unit. (DDG-113), September 27, 2011 - two units. (DDG-114 - DDG-115), declared an option on DDG-116.

At the beginning of June 2011, the construction of 75 destroyed destroyers of this type was planned, of which 61 ship was already built and for 2-3 new ship is commissioned annually. The last, 61st Esminets series, Spreweens, was adopted by the US Navy on October 1, 2011. After refusing in July 2008 from the large-scale construction of destroyers such as DDG-1000, there were plans for the construction of another 8-11 vehicles of the Arle Burk type except for the already ordered 62 and increasing the total number of constructed series of series up to 70-73 units. The construction of new Arley Burk type destroyers, following USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112), allows shipbuilding shipyards of the United States not to interrupt the production of the destroyed destroyers before the start of serial production at these enterprises of cruisers of new types CG (X) and CGN (X), which It is expected no earlier than 2015 (if you do not consider the minor construction of the DDG-1000 destroyers). In December 2009, US Navy concluded a contract worth $ 117 million for the purchase of materials for the DDG-113 destroyer, and in April 2010 a contract worth $ 114 million for the purchase of materials for the DDG-114 destroyer.

In June 2011, it became known that the leadership of the US Navy was decided to increase the order for the Merley Berk type destination and the continuation of their construction at least until 2031. Within the framework of the 2012 and 2013 programs, it is planned to develop a new improved modification of the destroyer Mission - a series III, according to which, since 2016 (from the DDG-122 ship), 24 new ships of this type should be laid. It is planned that ships from DDG-113 to DDG-121 will be gradually "saturated" by the technologies of the III series.

Cost of construction

The cost of the building of the head destroyer in the 1983 prices was $ 1.1 billion. For 2004, the average price of the construction of one ship of the IIA series was $ 1.1 - 1.25 billion, and the annual cost of servicing one ship (at one repair every two years. ) \u003d $ 20 million by 2009, in connection with inflation, the cost of one destiner of the third perfection (Flight IIa) increased to $ 1.4 billion (equivalent to the purchasing power parity of 26.32 billion rubles), and the annual service cost to $ 25 million

The main share of funds from the total value of the construction and weapons of the Squaded Museum of Type "Arly Burk" is directly on the acquisition and installation of weapons systems on the destroyers. So, 6 Esming buildings ordered by Bath Iron Works to the bookmark in 2002-2005 cost $ 3,170,973,112, the cost of 4 buildings ordered by Ingalls Shipbuilding on the same time \u003d $ 1 968 269 674, from which it is easy to deduct the average price The housings of one destroyer, equal to ≈ $ 500 million, that is, just over a third of the total value of the ship. Thus, almost two thirds of the spending on entering the ship to the system makes up its armament. The most expensive element of the armament of the Esminians "Arly Burk" is combat system "IJIS" - its value is approximately $ 300 million.

The next after USS MICHAEL MURPHY (DDG-112) Esminet type "Arly Burk" (construction is assumed to be started in 2009) will cost the US Navy Budget at $ 2.2 billion. It is assumed that the average cost of the other destroyers of the future series, the construction of which So far only planned, will not exceed $ 1.7 billion.

The cost of expenses is due, in addition to inflation, also by installing new weapons in the ships under construction.

Ship design


Corpus and add-in

Series I.

Squaded Museum of Type "Arly Burk" - Typical single-circuit ships with the coefficient of elongation of the housing (by waterline) \u003d 7.1 long-born design. For the first time in American ships of the series of shipbuilding, they began to be manufactured in almost high strength steel, using only individual nodes and sections from aluminum, in particular, gas turbine plants and grottoes. To return to use steel in the construction of ships of American designers pushed the experience Falkland War who revealed a weak protected of British ships with aluminum corps, as well as a number of fires on their own ships (in particular, a fire on the Belknap missile cruiser, which emerged on November 22, 1975, at the collision of the cruiser with the aircraft carrier "John F. Kennedy" completely destroyed the add-in Cruiser and He had a living of 7 people).


The new building designed for the destroyers of this project has complete dilaporships in the nose and the small collapse of the surface branches of the nasal spangouts than noticeably different from its predecessor - project of Esminets like "Spreweens" . According to the developers of the Arle Burk destroyers, despite some increase in water resistance, this form of the body has the best naval qualities. The positive qualities of the Merley Burk destroyers are largely smalleriness and smallness of wrapping, mild of fueling and splashing, small corners of the ship's roll on circulation. The cabinet of the destroyer is made low-grade.

The vehicles of the ships are separated taking into account the rationality of waterproof bulkheads, reaching up to the upper deck, on 13 compartments and have a double bottom on all over their entire length. Through the entire ship pass two continuous decks, not counting the top. In the lower decks there is a passport pass that allows the crew to occupy combat posts without leaving for this to the upper deck. The collapse of the sides matters more than 8 ° at a significant length of the body length. Twinek height for US Navy is standard - 2.9 m.

Ships are built according to the modular principle, that is, the ship's body during construction is formed from pre-assembled modules (blocks). This facilitates and speeds up the construction process. The full process of building the ship (from bookmark to descent to water) takes from 10 to 17 months, and most of the ships were built for a period of less than 15 months. A definite lag from construction schedules was observed after hurricane "Katrina" , slowed down the term for the delivery of several destroyers by shipyard of Bath Iron Works in Pascagula.

Esmina URO Type "Arly Burk" became the first after the frigates like "lafayette" ships, in the construction of which technology is used "Stealth" . Squaded Municipalities of the Arly Burk type - the first ships in the US Navy, in whom, as a result of creating an architecture of add-ons made using stealth technology (with sharp edges, for greater radio wave scattering) and the use of the energy absorbing energy of the coatings significantly reduced the effective scattering area. In order to reduce the heat field, the flue pipes of the destroyers are equipped with special mixing chambers in which the exhaust gases are mixed with cold air. The decrease in the heat field of the ships is achieved by the method of insulation of hot sites due to the use of the air cooling system of exhaust gases.

Iι series

The meticenter height of the vehicles of the 2nd series is raised due to the reduction in the weight of the superstructure. On three-quarters of the 6-series destroyers of the Esmin residents of the 2nd series, the thickness of the metal casing was increased, the efficiency of fuel consumption was improved due to changes in the design of the nasal part of the vessel. The design of rowing screws was also improved to reduce the level of cavitation noise. In addition, residential premises of the Esminets series were expanded to accommodate the personnel of the air group, as well as female servicemen. In order to increase the combat survivability in the ship's corps, five armored bulkheads were additionally installed.

Series iιA.

Compared to the Merley Burk destroyers of the first series, the body is elongated by 1.37 m to 155.29 m. The width of the case remained the same. For the construction of the ESMINA series, the previously used technology is used, in which the saturation of sections occurs until their integration into the main modules of the case. Starting with USS Shoup (DDG-86) to reduce the levels of the secondary radar field, the helicopter hangars are made of composite materials. All destroyers of the IIA series are equipped with satellite communications tools that allow members of a ship to call at any time home or use the Internet. On all destroyers, starting with USS McCampbell (DDG-85), there is a special self-service laundry. In addition, a number of other, smaller, changes are submitted to the design and equipment of the Esminists of the ARLI Burk type of the IIA series.

Energy Installation

A new phenomenon for American shipbuilding was the two-row main energy setting, consisting of 4 gas turbine engines, was installed on the Esminets GENERAL ELECTRIC LM2500. With the heat delicate contour, giving an additional 25 percent savings of fuel. The main energy installation of the ship is mounted on soundproofing foundations and shock absorbing supports. GEU (gas turbine, compressor, pipelines) and soundproofing casing are made in the form of a single block (module). The motor setting of the ship allows it to develop the full speed of the course of at least 30 knots with any excitement of the sea. The head destroyer series I USS ARLEIGH BURKE (DDG-51) on the undercarriage of the housing in full displacement of the case developed a 30-node velocity at 35-foot (10.67 m) wave and total power on the shaft of 75,000 liters. from. On the ships of all episodes there are 3 reserve gas turbine engines "Allison 2500" (the power of each - 2.5 MW), on which the ships are able to move when the GEU is out. The movement of the destroyers "Arly Burk" provide 2 five-pointed screws of the adjustable step of the Kamewa brand.

The maximum range of Squaded District Mission Type "Arly Burk" of the I series at the operational and economic go (20 nodes) reaches 4,400 maritime miles (8148.8 km), on ships II and IIA series due to improving the fuel efficiency of the ship achieved due to the improvement of the nasal designs Parts of the case and the placement of additional fuel tanks, the ship's navigation range was raised to 4890 miles (9056 km). Sailing range of the Squaded Mission at the Economic Speed \u200b\u200b(18 nodes) for some data reaches 6,000 maritime miles (11,112 km). Arley Burk destroyers' range is estimated as relatively small, especially since the previous type of destroyers of the US Navy - squaded Museums like "Spreweens" It accounted for 6000 miles on 20 nodes and 3300 miles 30 nodes.

Crew


The crew of ships I and II series consists of 22-26 officers and approximately 300-330 sailors in the rank of Watern officer and below. On the ships of the IIα series, the crew was increased to 380 people (the total number of officers increased to 32) due to the appearance of 2 helicopters, consisting of 18 people on the ships, including 4 officers on the ships. The conditions for placing the crew on the "Arly Burk" destroyers are sufficiently comfortable, officers are placed in separate cabins, the sailor composition is in Kubrick. A 1 member of the crew of the ship accounts for 4 m² of residential premises.

Combat vitality


When designing the Merley Burk-type destroyers, special attention was paid to the designers and developers of the project, issues of proper provision of constructive protection and the survivability of the Esminians of this type. To do this, the dimensions of the fully steel superstructure were minimized, the outer surfaces of the superstructure were tilt to the main plane with surfaces lined with declining EPR radio absorbing coatings.

Vital combat posts are located below the main deck; Rave's antenna posts were distributed over the ship in order to reduce the likelihood of defeat. Posts of control of anti-submarine sensors and controlling rocket shooting "Tomahawk" placed separately from the bits. GEU premises, RVV and management posts have kevlarovaya Anti-skid protection. In total, more than 130 tons of Kevlar (including 70 tons of this durable, but expensive material are consumed to protect the main combat posts and units of each destroyer of the Arle Burk type during construction (including 70 tons of this durable, but expensive material, goes to protect combat posts).

The objectives of protecting the mechanisms and equipment below the structural waterline also serves as a local anti-voltage reservation from high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloys to 25.4 mm thick. Plates from these alloys are protected by the main waveguides, cables and most important combat posts (upper tiers of add-ons, places BIP, Boezaas Boezab). Housing and superstructure of the "Arly Burk" type, including radar antennas AN / SPY-1), are designed for overpressure during an explosion of 0.5 kg / cm.² that in 2 more than once exceeds earlier in a military shipbuilding USA Standard value equal to 0.21 kg / cm². To reduce the hydroacoustic visibility of the Omina of the Arly Burk type, the systems are equipped with the functions of which include air supply to the underwater part of the ship (Masker system) and to the edges of the rowing screw blades (Prairie system. As a result of the work of the last system, the cloud of air bubbles is formed, distorting and smoothing acoustic signal of the ship. The ship using the PRAIRIE system can be identified on a larger and more foaming than usually the brilvater trail. When using the Masker system, the track starts not under the feed, but from about half of the length of the case.

The project ships received an improved system for protection against weapons of mass lesion. There are no portholes in the housing and superstructures, the ship ventilation system is equipped with automatic zaklocks and special filters. All doors on the external contour of the ship for the goals of air insulated are equipped with air tambora. In intracarable rooms, excessive pressure is artificially created to prevent contaminated air from entering them. Aquatic protection and deactivation posts also have a system of water protection and deactivation posts.

By many specialists, the Squaded Museum of type "Arly Burk" belong to the most protected destroyers of modern fleets of the world. However, the experience of the fighting of ships causes more weigly relates to such allegations and allows you to identify a number of significant flaws from the ships of this project. So on October 12, 2000, an explosion of power is only 200-230 kg in a Trotil equivalent at the Squadian Ministry of Cole ", breaking through the two-level armoring protection of the central part of the hull (near Middleshpangout), completely disabled gas turbine engines of the ship, depriving its stroke and control. During the explosion, they turned out to be flooded by Kubrick, and one sixth part of the crew (56 people) was disabled (including 17 killed). Nevertheless, despite the damage gained, the ship remained afloat, while the roll arising after the explosion did not exceed the value of 4 °.

The incident with the Cole destroyer once again showed that despite the lessons of the Falkland and Iran-Iraqi wars, not only the squadrous police officers of the type "Arly Burk", but also absolutely all the modern squadrock police officers have weak constructive protection (or they do not have it at all) . Protection of individual elements of the hull, engines and weapons using Kevlar, as the "COUL" experience showed, provides only anti-skid or, at best, anti-freel protection against the action of artillery shells of light and medium caliber. From the devastating action of powerful explosive devices and anti-religious missiles, the structural protection of all modern types of destroyers cannot protect.

To a large extent, the weak constructive protection of the Squaded Museum of type "Arly Burk" type is compensated by a powerful anti-hearth and anti-submarine protection provided by the possibilities of the IJIS multifunctional Bius, as well as the introduction of the type of heat and acoustic substitution tools. The defeat of the Squaded Dartios of the type "Arly Burk" of a single anti-worker rocket or torpedo is almost incredible, given the combat capacity of the system "IJIS" generally.

In order to increase the combat survivability of the Squaded Museum of Type "Arly Burk" type, they are planned to be equipped with USS Oscar Austin (DDG-79), anti-mining systems. In many ways, the decision on the installation on the ships of this series of mine protection systems was due to an incident with a squadal destroyer USS Forrest Sherman (DDG-98), when on August 8, 2007 during the visit of the latter in Sevastopol 300 m from the destroyer, German 480-kilogram Halbical Anchor Ship Mina Times of the Great Patriotic War with a power of an explosive device, equal to 50 kg in TNT equivalent. Mina was safely neutralized by the joint actions of the divers of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia and the Navy of Ukraine. As a result of the actions to neutralize mines, the American destroyer was not affected.

The equipment of the equipment of the ARLI Burk type equipment includes two 24-foot (7.32 m) semi-industrial inflatable search and rescue boats RHIB or RIB (Sokr. From English Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat) stored on the slut-beams from the right side. For descent and lifting RHIB boats, a commercial sample lifting crane is used. The equipment of the equipment "Arly Burk" includes 15 rescue rafts, each of which is designed for 25 people.

Armament


System "IJIS"

Igeis (eng. Aegis Combat System) - Multifunctional combat information and control system (Bius), which is an organizational and technical association of shipping facilities for lighting the situation, lesions and management based on widespread implementation automated systems combat management (asba). In addition, the system is capable of accepting and processing information from the sensors of other ships / aircraft compounds and extradite the target designation on their launchers. Thus, the system can support the air defense commander, although it cannot fully automate all the air defense functions. In a typical case, however, this role is not played by the destroyer, but the cruiser Uro.



The main components (subsystems) of the Multifunctional weapon system "IJIS":

  • helicopter LAMPS subsystems;
  • equipment of the helicopter subsystem LAMPS MARK s;
  • Radar detection of air and surface targets;
  • iMAGE IMAGE IMAGE;
  • subsystems of the REB AN / SLQ-32;
  • navigation equipment;
  • Bius Bad with intracopeous Gus ;
  • radiocommunication digital line terminal (LINK-11);
  • automated command and control subsystem (MARK 1);
  • automated subsystem of coordinated management of weapon shipment complexes (Mark 1);
  • rLS control unit with headlights;
  • antenna and receiving part of the multifunctional radar;
  • automated subscription subsystem for functioning, searching and localization of faults;
  • information display subsystem;
  • radiocommunication equipment;
  • terminal devices digital radio line;
  • starting installation of passive interference formulation;
  • automated artillery fire management subsystem;
  • SPK "IJIS";
  • launchers for shipproof kr, zur and plow;
  • automated shooting management subsystem KR "Tomaagavk" ;
  • automated shooting management subsystem PKR "Garpun" ;
  • anti-aircraft artillery complex "Volcano Falanex" ;
  • automated fire management subsystem anti-herineal weapon.

The main components (subsystems) of the Multifunctional Weapon System "IJIS" are closely interrelated. The controls and control of the system are common, that is, used in the interests of each element and the entire system as a whole. These funds include the OMVC and the display subsystem.

The "IJIS" system includes both the mapping subsystem, which may include up to 22 multifunctional remote controls (MFP) with the displays of the tactical situation, including four commander (on the latter the generalized decor) is displayed. Display equipment is placed in combat information center (Bits) of the ship. Functionally display equipment is divided into the following contours: processing tactical information, evaluating this information and decisive, air defense, anti-submarine struggle, combating surface ships and strikes on the shore.

The nomenclature of the armament of the Esminians "Arly Burk"

The armament of the "Arly Burk" destroyers of different scenarios is quite different. The main weapon of all 53 existing ships of this type are 2 settings of the vertical start (OHP) Mark 41 VLS. The standard set of armaments of the first two scenarios of the ESMINTS consists of 74 anti-aircraft rockets RIM-66 SM-2 , 8 winged missiles BGM-109 Tomahawk (and 8 anti-submarine missiles Rum-139 VL-ASROC in a multi-purpose version of or out of 56 BGM-109 Tomahawk and 34 rocket missiles and 34 RM-66 missiles SM-2 and RUM-139 VL-ASROC in the shock version.

On the Esminians of the IIA series, the total number of rocket soldiers increased from 90 to 96. The standard set of armaments of the ESMINES of the third series consists of 74 RIM-66 missiles SM-2, 24 missiles RIM-7 SEA SPARROW (Four in cell), 8 BGM-109 Tomahawk and 8 anti-submarine controlled RUM-139 VL-ASROC missiles.

Artillery

The main artillery armament of vehicles of the Arle Burk type is lightweight 127-mm Artillery Installation Mark 45 . In the MOD version. 2 It is installed on the first 30 types of type (DDG-51-DDG-80), in the MOD version. 4 - on all other destroyers, starting with USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81). Standard mark 45 mod MARK 45 mOD. 2 - 680 Unitary shots Mark 68, Mark 80, Mark 91, Mark 116, Mark 127 or Mark 156. The horizon range is 23 km, the maximum rainfame is 20 shots per minute. The mass of artisture is only 24.6 tons.

Mass and rate of artillery installation MARK 45 MOD. 4 remained the same as previous modifications. Shooting range by fragantive-fugasic shells is increased from 23 to 37 km, active-reactive ERGM and BTERM ammunition with flight range up to 116 km was introduced into the ammunition. Standard mark 45 mod MARK 45 mOD. 4 Increased by making changes to the design of the artillery cellar. There are the following options for configuring an artillery installation of an artillery installation - 700 fragmentation fugasal shots or 400 active-reactive shooters ERGM or (in a blended version of the ammunition) 232 of the fragmentation fuchs + 232 of the ERGM or BTERM shot. For a complete recharge of the artillery store of the Esming "Arly Burk", it is usually 16 hours.

Antique and antique weapons

On the ships of the first two episodes in the aft, two overseas installations are installed PKR "Garpun" . The main anti-sideline weapons of the vehicles of the Arle Burk type are the helicopters of the LAMPS-III system. Onboard weapons are anti-submarine controlled rockets (Plur) RUM-139 VL-ASROC . They are able to hit submarines at a distance of up to 20 km from the carrier ship Plur.

As an auxiliary anti-submarine weapon on the destroyers of all three episodes, there are two mk torpedo vessels. 32. Boezapas - 6 anti-submarine torpedoes MK. 46 or MK. 50. The maximum firing range of torpedoes is 10 km. The ability to recharge them is not provided. On the ships of the IIA series from the complexes of the PCR "Harpun" refused due to the requirement of the ship's cheapening. The torpedo devices on the IIa series ships were saved.

Fortune defense

The main component of the air defense of the destitute of the destroyers is the "IJIS" SPR, the same name with a multi-fusion Bius. The SPC may include, depending on the distribution of ammunition, from 34 to 74 anti-aircraft missiles Standard-2er Under RIM-67B missiles (1981, the maximum shooting range is 128 km), RIM-67C (1981, the maximum shooting range is 185 km), RIM-156 (Standard-2er Block IV, 1999, the maximum shooting range - 240 km), currently all new destroyers are armed with anti-aircraft controlled missiles Standard-3. With an increased twice (up to 500 km), the start range and the actual unlimited framework of the launch atmosphere of the launch (up to 250 km).


Obligating the ships of the series I and II, two rapid six-characteristic anti-aircraft artillery settings were installed on the ships of the series I and II 20 mm "volcano-falanx" Designed for the accuracy of anti-religious missiles at a distance of up to 1.5 km, if they break through a fairly powerful ship air defense system. One bar is located immediately before setting up and one for it. On the IIA series ships from the anti-aircraft artillery complexes (Zac), the "Volcano-Falanx" refused due to the requirement of the cost of the project's office of the project, but they were still installed on the first 6 ships of the IIA series. Instead of Zak "Volcano-Falanx" in the armament of the Squaded Mission of the IIA series, the anti-aircraft missile complex of self-defense included RIM-7 SEA SPARROW (24 rockets in 6 containers of the VLS Mark 41 system).

Tactical shock arms

In service with each destroyer like "Arly Burk" is up to 56 winged missiles BGM-109 Tomahawk Block 3 (with a launch range up to 1250-1609 km in tactical (non-nuclear version) and 2500 km in strategic (nuclear). In 2004, a successful test was held (but did not receive on ships) winged rocket Tactical Tomahawk (Modernized Option "Tomahawka", English Tactical Tomahawk Block 4).

Aviation

On the ships of the I-II series due to the lack of a helicopter hangar, only 1 helicopter can be temporarily based SH-60 Sea Hawk . In the ammunition store located near the helicopter deck, the helicopter is stored (up to 9 torpedo MARK-46). There is also a tank of aviation fuel. But service or repair of helicopters are not provided.

Additional armament

As opposed, as well as auxiliary anti-aircraft weapons on the destroyers "Arly Burk" installed 4 12.7 mm M2HB Machine gun . Alternatively, installation of 25 mm bushmaster machines is possible. They have a small elevation angle, and for anti-aircraft fire are unsuitable.

General project evaluation


The Squaded Museum of Type "Arly Burk" is generally accepted considered one of the best types of destroying destroyers with manageable rocket weapons. In relation to the squadded destroyers like "Arly Burk", even such assessments as "one of the best ships of the late XX century" sounds. Type ships are able to successfully act in a variety of conditions, both in peacetime and during periods of their participation in wars and military operations, while performing a wide variety of tasks: from applying rocket strikes through the territory of the enemy to the air, anti-reflex and anti-parental defense of ships and fleets United States Navy compounds. During the design of the Esminets of the Arle Burk type, American designers managed to achieve a rare harmony of nautical qualities, well-thought-out ship architecture and powerful shock weapons.


Becoming a kind of role model, the Squaded Museum of type "Arly Burk" from the moment of their appearance determine the development of ships of the Class "Squaded Mission" in almost all major navy of the world, with the exception of Flots India, China and Russia. At the same time, it should be noted that for American shipbuilding the Esming of the type "Arli Burk" is already "in the stage passed"; To replace them, the construction of the Squaded District Commissions of the "Mevolution" type, which, in turn, will become a kind of "landfill" to test promising ship technologies and new ship weapons systems. Nevertheless, until the mid-2030s (before the start of mass output from combat composition US Navy destroyers II series) Squaded Museums such as Arly Burk will be the basis of the American fleet.
