Arleigh Burke-class destroyer

March 30, 2023

The Arleigh Burke class of guided-missile destroyers (DDGs) is a United States Navy class of destroyer centered around the Aegis Combat System and the SPY-1D multi-function passive electronically scanned array radar. The class is named for Admiral Arleigh Burke, an American destroyer officer in World War II and later Chief of Naval Operations. With an overall length of 505 to 509.5 feet (153.9 to 155.3 m), displacement ranging from 8,300 to 9,700 tons, and weaponry including over 90 missiles, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are larger and more heavily armed than many previous classes of guided-missile cruisers.

These warships are multi-mission destroyers able to conduct anti-aircraft warfare (AAW) with Aegis and surface-to-air missiles; tactical land strikes with Tomahawk missiles; anti-submarine warfare (ASW) with towed array sonar, anti-submarine rockets, and ASW helicopters; and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) with Harpoon missiles. With upgrades to their AN/SPY-1 phased radar systems and their associated missile payloads as part of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, ships of this class have also demonstrated capability as mobile anti-ballistic missile and anti-satellite platforms.

The lead ship of the class, USS Arleigh Burke, was commissioned during Admiral Burke's lifetime on 4 July 1991. With the decommissioning of the last Spruance-class destroyer, USS Cushing, on 21 September 2005, the Arleigh Burke-class ships became the U.S. Navy's only active destroyers until the Zumwalt class became active in 2016. The Arleigh Burke class has the longest production run for any U.S. Navy surface combatant. 70 are active as of May 2022, with more planned to enter service.

Characteristics

Variants

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyers have four separate variants, referred to as "Flights". Newer Flights enabled the incorporation of technological advancements.[2]

  • Flight I: DDGs 51–71
  • Flight II: DDGs 72–78
  • Flight IIA: DDGs 79–124 and DDG-127
  • Flight III: DDGs 125–126 and DDG-128 onwards[7]
  •

Structure

The Arleigh Burke-class ships are among the largest destroyers built in the United States;[16] only the Spruance, Kidd (563 ft or 172 m), and Zumwalt classes (600 ft or 180 m) are longer. The Arleigh Burke class was designed with a new large, water-plane area-hull form characterized by a wide flaring bow, which significantly improves seakeeping ability and permits high speed in high sea states.[2] The class's design incorporates stealth techniques, such as the angled (rather than traditional vertical) surfaces and the raked tripod mainmast,[17] which make the ship more difficult to detect by radar.

Its designers incorporated lessons from the Ticonderoga-class cruiser, which the Navy deemed too expensive to continue building and difficult to upgrade further.[18] For these destroyers, the U.S. Navy returned to all-steel construction, except the mast made of aluminum.[19] The Ticonderogas had combined a steel hull with a superstructure made of lighter aluminum to reduce top weight, but the lighter metal proved vulnerable to cracking. Aluminum is also less fire-resistant than steel;[20] a 1975 fire aboard USS Belknap gutted her aluminum superstructure.[21] Battle damage to Royal Navy ships exacerbated by their aluminum superstructures during the 1982 Falklands War supported the decision to use steel. Other lessons from the Falklands War led to the Navy's decision to protect the Arleigh Burke class's vital spaces with double-spaced steel layers, which create a buffer against anti-ship missiles (AShMs), and Kevlar spall liners.[22]

Passive defenses

Arleigh Burke destroyers are equipped with AN/SLQ-32 electronic warfare (EW) suites that provide electronic support.[2] Vessels with the SLQ-32(V)3 or SLQ-32(V)6 variant have an additional capability to jam targeting and AShM guidance radar.[23]

The destroyers have Mark 36 infrared and chaff decoy launchers, as well as Nulka decoy launchers, for spoofing incoming anti-ship missiles.[24][25] For defeating incoming torpedoes, the class has two Nixie towed countermeasures.[26] The ships' Prairie-Maskers can reduce their radiated noise.[27]

A collective protection system makes the Arleigh Burke class the first U.S. warships designed with an air-filtration system against nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare (NBC).[28] Other NBC defenses include double air-locked hatches, pressurized compartments, and an external countermeasure washdown system.[29] The class's electronics are hardened against electromagnetic pulses (EMPs).[30] Fire suppression equipment includes water sprinklers in the living quarters and Combat Information Center (CIC).[22] The CIC is below the waterline.[19]

Weapon systems

The Arleigh Burke class are multi-mission ships[8] with numerous combat systems, including anti-aircraft missiles, land attack missiles, ship-to-ship missiles, and an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) system.[22] Missiles are stored in and fired from Mark 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) cells; with 90 cells on Flights I–II and 96 cells starting with Flight IIA,[31] the Arleigh Burkes are more armed than many preceding guided-missile cruiser classes.[16] The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is equipped with the Aegis Combat System, which combines information from the ship's sensors to display a coherent image of the environment and guides weapons to targets using advanced tracking and fire control.[32]

Their main radar differs from traditional mechanically rotating radars. Instead, Aegis uses the AN/SPY-1D passive electronically scanned array (or the AN/SPY-6 active electronically scanned array on Flight III ships), which allows continual tracking of targets simultaneous to area scans. The system's computer control also allows centralization of the previously separate tracking and targeting functions. The system is resistant to electronic countermeasures.[33][34][35]

The Standard Missile SM-2MR/ER and SM-6 provide area air defense, though they may also be used in a secondary ASuW role.[36] The SM-2 uses semi-active radar homing (SARH), meaning that up to three targets may be simultaneously intercepted since the Arleigh Burkes have three AN/SPG-62 fire-control radars for terminal target illumination.[37][8] The SM-6, which provides over-the-horizon defense,[38] and the SM-2 Block IIIC feature a dual-mode seeker with active radar homing (ARH) capability; they do not have to rely on external illumination, so more targets could theoretically be intercepted simultaneously.[39][40]

Flight IIA and III destroyers carry RIM-162 Evolved SeaSparrow Missiles (ESSMs),[41][42] which provide medium-range defense against missiles and aircraft and are small enough to be quad-packed into a single Mk 41 VLS cell. ESSM is also capable of targeting other ships. ESSM Block 1 uses SARH, guided similarly to older SM-2s. ESSM Block 2 features a dual-mode seeker with ARH capability, and it was scheduled for Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in 2020.[43]

The SM-3, SM-6, and SM-2ER Block IV provide Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), the SM-3 being an exoatmospheric interceptor[44] and the latter two having terminal phase anti-ballistic capability.[45][38] So vital has the Aegis BMD role become that all ships of the class are being updated with BMD capability.[46] As of August 2021, there are 42 BMD-capable Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.[47] Flight III ships will be delivered from 2023 with new AN/SPY-6(V)1 radars and improved BMD capabilities; Flight IIA ships are also planned to receive these upgrades with AN/SPY-6(V)4 radar retrofits.[48]

Flights I and II carry two stand-alone Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers for a total of four or eight Harpoons,[49] giving them an anti-ship capability with a range in excess of 64 nautical miles (119 km; 74 mi).[2]

The class can perform tactical land strikes with VLS-launched Tomahawks.[2] With the development of the Tomahawk Block V, all existing Block IV Tomahawks carried will be converted to the Block V. The Tomahawk Block Va version is called the Maritime Strike version, and it provides anti-ship capability in addition to its land attack role. The Block Vb version features the Joint Multi-Effects Warhead System for hitting a wider variety of land targets.[50][51]

Arleigh Burke-class ships feature the Navy's latest AN/SQQ-89 ASW combat system, which is integrated with Aegis. It encompasses the AN/SQS-53C bow-mounted sonar and a towed array sonar, though several Flight IIA ships do not have a towed array.[52] The towed array is either the AN/SQR-19 Tactical Towed Array Sonar (TACTAS) or the newer TB-37U Multi-Function Towed Array (MFTA). The ships carry standoff RUM-139 anti-submarine rockets, which have a range of 22 km and deploy the Mark 54 ASW torpedo. For short-range defense against submarines, they have two Mark 32 triple torpedo tubes—one to the port side and one to the starboard side—that can fire the Mark 46, Mark 50, and Mark 54 ASW torpedoes. The ships can detect anti-ship mines at a range of about 1,400 meters.[53][54]

All ships of the class are fitted with at least one Phalanx close-in weapon system (CIWS), which provides point defense against air and surface threats. Eight ships (DDG-51, DDG-64, DDG-71, DDG-75, DDG-78, DDG-80, DDG-84, DDG-117) are equipped with one SeaRAM CIWS to improve their self-defense.[55][56][57][58][59]

Arleigh Burkes also carry two 25 mm Mk 38 Machine Gun Systems, one on each side of the ship, designed to counter fast surface craft.[60] There are numerous mounts for crew-served weapons like the M2 Browning.[61]

Located on the forward deck is the 5-inch (127 mm) Mark 45 gun. Directed by the Mark 34 Gun Weapon System (GWS), it can be used in anti-ship, close-in anti-aircraft, and naval gunfire support (NGFS) roles.[62] It has a range of up to 20 miles (32 km) and can fire 16–20 rounds per minute. The Mark 45 gun on the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer has an ammunition stowage of 600 shells.[63]

Aircraft

Flights IIA and III are equipped with two hangars for stowing MH-60 helicopters. Their Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) helicopter system improves the ship's capabilities against submarines and surface ships by enabling the MH-60 to serve as a platform for monitoring submarines and surface ships, launching torpedoes and missiles against them, and providing fire support during insertions/extractions with machine guns and Hellfire anti-armor guided missiles.[64] The helicopters also serve in a utility role, able to perform ship replenishment, search and rescue, medical evacuation, communications relay, and naval gunfire spotting and controlling.

In March 2022, an Arleigh Burke destroyer was deployed with an AAI Aerosonde unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The aircraft is under demonstration for Flight I and II ships, which do not have accommodations for permanently storing helicopters. The Aerosonde has a small enough footprint to be stowed on those destroyers. It can perform missions such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) at a much lower cost than manned helicopters.[65]

Development

Origins and Flight I

The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) from 1970 to 1974, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, sought to improve the U.S. fleet through modernization at minimal cost. Zumwalt advocated for a "high-low mix" philosophy. He envisioned the high-low mix as constituted by a few high-end, high-cost warships and numerous low-end, low-cost warships. The introduction of the Aegis-equipped Ticonderoga-class cruiser in the early 1980s filled the high end. The Navy started work to develop a lower-cost Aegis-equipped vessel to fill the low end and replace the aging Charles F. Adams destroyers.[66][67][68]

In 1980, the U.S. Navy initiated design studies with seven contractors. By 1983, the number of competitors had been reduced to three: Bath Iron Works, Ingalls Shipbuilding, and Todd Shipyards.[28] On 3 April 1985, Bath Iron Works received a US$321.9 million contract to build the first of the class, USS Arleigh Burke.[69] Gibbs & Cox was awarded the contract to be the lead ship design agent.[70] The Navy contracted Ingalls Shipbuilding to build the second ship.[71]

Political restraints led to design restrictions, including the absence of helicopter hangars, a displacement limit of 8,300 tons, and a 50-foot shorter hull than the Ticonderoga's. The designers were forced to make compromises, such as a wide flaring bow. To compensate for the limited length, the originally-planned 80,000 shaft horsepower (shp) LM2500 gas turbines were upgraded to 100,000 shp.[66] An OTO Melara 76 mm as the main gun was under consideration at one point.[68] Despite their constraints, the designers benefitted from insight gained from previous classes; for example, they chose an all-steel superstructure to improve survivability.[22]

The total cost of the first ship was $1.1 billion, the other $778 million being for the ship's weapons systems.[69] USS Arleigh Burke was laid down by the Bath Iron Works at Bath, Maine, on 6 December 1988, and launched on 16 September 1989 by Mrs. Arleigh Burke. The Admiral himself was present at her commissioning ceremony on 4 July 1991, held on the waterfront in downtown Norfolk, Virginia.[66] Orders for Flight I ships continued through 1995.

Flight II

The Flight II iteration of the class was introduced in FY1992.[2] The incorporation of the AN/SRS-1A(V) Combat Direction Finding enhanced detection of signals.[72] The TADIX-B, JTIDS Command and Control Processor, and Link 16 improved communication with other assets.[73] The SLQ-32 EW suite was upgraded to (V)3, and the SPS-67(V)3 surface search radar was upgraded to (V)5.[74] Flight II also gained the capability to launch and control the SM-2ER Block IV.[75] An expansion of fuel capacity slightly increased the displacement.[19]

Flight IIA

 
Profile of Flight IIA Arleigh Burke-class destroyer

The Flight IIA design was first procured in FY1994.[76] Among the additions are two hangars and support facilities for ASW helicopters, Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC),[75] the Kingfisher mine detection system, and five blast-resistant bulkheads.[31] To accommodate the hangars, the length was increased to 509.5 ft (155.3 m), and the rear-facing SPY-1D arrays are mounted one deck (eight feet) higher to prevent a blind spot.[77] Flight IIA also replaced retractable missile loading cranes on the forward and aft VLS with a total of six additional cells. The propellers are of a different design to reduce cavitation.[78] New fiber optics helped minimize weight gain and improve reliability.[79] Systems omitted from Flight IIA include the Harpoon missile launchers[N 1] and, starting with USS McCampbell (DDG-85), the forward Phalanx CIWS.[80] Flight IIA ships were initially built without the AN/SQR-19 TACTAS,[52] though later units were subsequently installed with TACTAS.[77]

Starting with USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81), the longer 5-inch/62-caliber (127 mm) Mark 45 Mod 4 gun was installed.[31] Later Flight IIA ships starting with USS Mason (DDG-87) use the BridgeMaster E as their navigation radar instead of the AN/SPS-73(V)12.[81] Subsequent Flight IIA ships employ additional signature-reduction measures: the hangars of DDG-86 onwards are made of composite materials, and the exhaust funnels of DDG-89 onwards are buried within the superstructure.[31] The use of the improved SPY-1D(V) radar, starting with USS Pinckney (DDG-91), enhances the ships' ability to filter out clutter and resist electronic attack.[82]

 
USS Momsen, 2006, with torpedo tubes mounted on aft missile deck rather than earlier amidships mounting, superstructure changes to accommodate an AN/WLD-1 holding bay, and lacking CIWS

Several Flight IIA ships were constructed without any Phalanx CIWS because of the planned Evolved SeaSparrow Missile; the Navy had initially decided that ESSM made Phalanx redundant.[31] However, the Navy later changed its mind and decided to retrofit all IIA ships to carry at least one Phalanx CIWS by 2013.[80]

DDGs 91–96 (USS Pinckney, USS Momsen, USS Chung-Hoon, USS Nitze, USS James E. Williams, and USS Bainbridge) were built with superstructure differences to accommodate the AN/WLD-1 Remote Minehunting System (RMS).[83] However, only DDG-96 was installed with the system before the RMS program was canceled.[84][85]

Modernization

To help address congressional concerns over the retirement of the Iowa-class battleship, the Navy began a modernization program for the Arleigh Burkes aimed at improving their gun systems. This modernization was to include an extension of the range of the 5-inch (127 mm) guns on the Flight I Arleigh Burke-class destroyers with Extended Range Guided Munitions (ERGMs) that would have given the guns a range of 40 nautical miles (74 km).[86][87][88] However, the ERGM was canceled in 2008.[89]

The current modernization program is designed to provide a comprehensive mid-life upgrade to ensure that the class remains effective. Modernization of existing ships helps to provide commonality with production ships. The program's goals are reduced manning, increased mission effectiveness, and reduced total cost—including construction, maintenance, and operation.[90] Modernization technologies were integrated on DDGs 111 and 112 during their construction and retrofitted into Flight I and II ships.[91] The first phase updates the hull, mechanical, and electrical systems, while the second phase introduces an Open Architecture Computing Environment (OACE). The result will be improved capability in both BMD and littoral combat.[N 2][92][93] By 2018, all Arleigh Burke-class ships homeported in the Western Pacific will have upgraded ASW systems, including the new TB-37U Multi-Function Towed Array (MFTA).[94][95]

The Navy is also upgrading the ships' ability to process data; beginning with USS Spruance (DDG-111), the Navy is installing an Internet Protocol-based data backbone to enhance the ships' ability to handle video. Spruance is also the first destroyer to be fitted with the Boeing Company's Gigabit Ethernet Data Multiplex System (GEDMS).[96]

In July 2010, BAE Systems announced it had been awarded a contract to modernize 11 ships.[97] In May 2014, USNI News reported that 21 of the 28 Flight I/II Arleigh Burke-class destroyers would not receive a mid-life upgrade that included electronics and Aegis Baseline 9 software for SM-6 compatibility; instead, they would retain the basic BMD 3.6.1 software in a $170 million upgrade concentrating on mechanical systems, and on some ships, their anti-submarine suite.[98][99] Seven Flight I ships—DDG 51–53, 57, 61, 65, 69—received the full $270 million Baseline 9 upgrade.[98] Deputy of surface warfare Dave McFarland said that this change was due to the budget cuts in the Budget Control Act of 2011.[100]

In 2016, the Navy announced it would begin outfitting 34 Flight IIA Arleigh Burke vessels with a hybrid-electric drive (HED) to lower fuel costs. The four LM2500 gas turbines of the Arleigh Burkes are most efficient at high speeds; an electric motor was to be attached to the main reduction gear to turn the drive shaft and propel the ship at speeds under 13 knots (24 km/h), such as during BMD or maritime security operations. Use of the HED for half the time could extend time on station by 2.5 days before refueling.[101] In March 2018, the Navy announced the HED would be installed on USS Truxtun (DDG-103) to test the technology, but upgrades of further destroyers would be halted due to budget priorities.[102]

Also in 2016, four destroyers of the U.S. 6th Fleet based in Naval Station Rota, Spain (USS Carney, USS Ross, USS Donald Cook, and USS Porter) received self-protection upgrades, replacing one of their two Phalanx CIWS with a SeaRAM CIWS, which combines the Phalanx sensor dome with an 11-cell RIM-116 launcher. This was the first time the system was paired with an Aegis ship.[103] Another four ships (USS Arleigh Burke, USS Roosevelt, USS Bulkeley, and USS Paul Ignatius) have since been forward-deployed to Rota and also received a SeaRAM.[56][57][58][59]

The AN/SLQ-32 EW suite used by the class is currently being upgraded under the Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP). The SEWIP Block 2 (AN/SLQ-32(V)6) features improved electronic support capability, and it was first installed on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in 2014.[104] As of 2022, it is in full-rate production for installation on the latest Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and for retrofit on existing ones, replacing their existing (V)2 and (V)3 equipment.[105][106] The SEWIP Block 3 (AN/SLQ-32(V)7) will improve ships' electronic attack capability.[105]

In February 2018, Lockheed Martin received a contract to deliver its High Energy Laser and Integrated Optical-dazzler with Surveillance (HELIOS) system for installation onto an Arleigh Burke destroyer. HELIOS is a "60+ kW"-class laser, scalable to 120 kW, that can "dazzle" or destroy small boats and UAVs up to 8.0 km (5 mi) away.[107][108] It would be the first laser weapon put on a warship.[109][110] In November 2019, USS Dewey (DDG-105) had the Optical Dazzling Interdictor, Navy (ODIN) system installed, which was publicly revealed in February 2020. ODIN differs from the XN-1 LaWS previously mounted on USS Ponce in that ODIN functions as a dazzler, which blinds or destroys optical sensors on drones rather than fully shooting down the aircraft.[111][112] HELIOS underwent land-based testing from August 2021 to March 2022.[113][114] It was delivered to the Navy in August 2022 and installed on USS Preble (DDG 88). Preble is expected to begin at-sea testing of the HELIOS in FY2023.[115]

In FY2019, the Navy started a program to procure the Mod 4 variant of the Mark 38 Machine Gun System[116] to address "unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and high speed maneuverable unmanned surface vehicle (USV) threats."[117] Mod 4 will incorporate the 30 mm Mk44 Bushmaster II instead of the 25 mm M242 Bushmaster of previous variants,[118] intended to improve accuracy, increase lethality, and increase effective range. The Mk 38 Mod 4 was scheduled to achieve IOC on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in FY2022,[117] and it will be fielded on Flights IIA and III.[119]

In October 2020, National Security Advisor Robert C. O'Brien said that all three Flights of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer would field the Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) missile developed under the Conventional Prompt Strike program. However, the C-HCB is expected to be around 3 ft (0.91 m) wide, making it too large to fit in Mk 41 VLS tubes or on deck launchers. Installing them on Arleigh Burke destroyers would require removing some Mk 41 cells to accommodate the larger weapon, an expensive and time-consuming process.[120][121] There is criticism of this idea: the oldest Flight I ships would need a service life extension to justify refit costs that would only prolong their service lives a short time when they are already more expensive to operate, and the newest Flight III ships that are optimized for BMD would be given a new, complex mission requiring a major refit shortly after introduction.[122]

In December 2021, the Navy awarded Raytheon a $237 million contract for integration and production support to upgrade Flight IIA ships from AN/SPY-1D to AN/SPY-6(V)4. This upgrade would provide capabilities similar to Flight III ships, such as integrated air and missile defense with the ability to track multiple ballistic missile or air targets. Due to the smaller superstructure of the Flight IIA ships compared to Flight III ships, the radar implementation will be scaled down from the Flight III AN/SPY-6(V)1 version with fewer (24 vs. 37) radar module assemblies (RMAs).[N 3][124]

Production restarted

 
A destroyer of the Zumwalt class, the next after the Arleigh Burke class. Only 3 ships out of 32 planned Zumwalts were built.

USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112) was originally intended to be the last of the Arleigh Burke class. The class was scheduled to be replaced by Zumwalt-class destroyers beginning in 2020.[125] However, an increasing threat from both long- and short-range missiles caused the Navy to restart production of the Arleigh Burke class[126] in place of the Zumwalt class and consider placing littoral combat mission modules on the new ships.[127][128][129] The U.S. Navy has been producing Arleigh Burke-class destroyers for longer than any other surface combatant class in the Navy's history.[130]

In April 2009, the Navy announced a plan limiting the Zumwalt class to three units while ordering another three Arleigh Burke-class ships from both Bath Iron Works and Ingalls Shipbuilding.[129] In December 2009, Northrop Grumman received a $170.7 million letter contract for USS John Finn (DDG-113) long-lead-time materials.[131] Shipbuilding contracts for DDG-113 to DDG-115 were awarded in mid-2011 for $679.6 million–$783.6 million;[132] these do not include government-furnished equipment such as weapons and sensors, which will take the average cost of the FY2011/12 ships to $1.843 billion per vessel.[1]

DDG-113 to DDG-115 are "restart" ships, similar to previous Flight IIA ships, but including modernization features such as Open Architecture Computing Environment and the TB-37U MFTA, which is being backfit onto previous Flight IIA ships.[133]

DDG-116 to DDG-121 will be "Technology Insertion" ships with elements of the future Flight III.[134] For example, USS Delbert D. Black (DDG-119) and onwards have the AN/SPQ-9B instead of the AN/SPS-67, a feature planned for Flight III.[135] Flight III proper began with the third ship procured in 2016,[136] USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG-125).[137]

In spite of the production restart, the U.S. Navy is expected to fall short of its requirement for 94 destroyer or cruiser platforms capable of missile defense starting in FY2025 and continuing past the end of the 30-year planning window. While this was a new requirement as of 2011, and the U.S. Navy has never had so many large missile-armed surface combatants, the relative success of the Aegis BMD System has shifted this national security requirement onto the U.S. Navy. The shortfall will arise as older platforms that have been refitted to be missile-defense-capable (particularly the cruisers) are retired in bulk before new destroyers are planned to be built.[138]

The U.S. Navy was considering extending the acquisition of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers into the 2040s, according to revised procurement tables sent to Congress, with the procurement of Flight IV ships from 2032 through 2041.[139] This was canceled to cover the cost of the Columbia-class submarines, with the air defense commander role retained on one cruiser per carrier strike group.[140]

In April 2022, the Navy proposed a procurement plan for nine ships, with an option for a tenth, to build two ships a year from 2023 to 2027. Some lawmakers pushed to add a third ship to be built in 2023, bringing the total of the proposed deal to eleven ships. This would follow the Navy's two-ship per year procurement from 2018 to 2022.[141]

Flight III

It was anticipated that in FY2012 or FY2013, the U.S. Navy would commence detailed work for a Flight III design and request 24 ships to be built from 2016 to 2031.[142] The Flight III variant was in the design phase as of 2013. In June 2013, the U.S. Navy awarded $6.2 billion in destroyer contracts.[143]

Costs for the Flight III ships increased rapidly as expectations and requirements for the program have grown. In particular, this was due to the changing requirements needed to carry the proposed Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) system required for the ships' BMD role.[144] The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the design of the Flight III was based on "a significantly reduced threat environment from other Navy analyses" and that the new ships would be "at best marginally effective" because of the "now-shrunken radar". The U.S. Navy disagreed with the GAO findings, stating that the DDG-51 hull was "absolutely" capable of fitting a large enough radar to meet requirements.[145]

Flight III ships, construction starting in FY2016 in place of the canceled CG(X) program, have various design improvements, including radar antennas of mid-diameter increased to 14 feet (4.3 m) from the previous 12 feet (3.7 m).[146] The AN/SPY-6 AMDR uses an active electronically scanned array with digital beamforming instead of the earlier passive electronically scanned array radars.[147] According to Raytheon, the contractor for the SPY-6, the 37-RMA SPY-6(V)1 offers a 15 dB improved sensitivity compared to SPY-1.[N 4][149] The Flight III's AMDR will be integrated with Aegis Baseline 10.[150]

14 Flight III ships have been ordered,[151] and Flight III IOC is scheduled for 2023 with the commissioning of USS Jack H. Lucas.[152][153] The U.S. Navy may procure up to 42 Flight III ships for an overall total of 117 ships of the class.[153]

Replacement

Main article: DDG(X)
 
DDG(X) concept from Program Executive Office Ships (PEO Ships) as presented in the 2022 Surface Navy Association symposium. The first ship of this class is planned to enter service around the year 2030.

In April 2014, the U.S. Navy began the development of a new destroyer to replace the Arleigh Burke class called the "Future Surface Combatant". The new class is expected to enter service in the early 2030s and initially serve alongside the Flight III DDGs. The destroyer class will incorporate emerging technologies like lasers, onboard power-generation systems, increased automation, and next-generation weapons, sensors, and electronics. They will leverage technologies from other platforms, such as the Zumwalt-class destroyer, littoral combat ships, and the Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier.[154]

The Future Surface Combatant may place importance on the Zumwalt-class destroyer's electric drive system that provides propulsion while generating 58 megawatts of electrical power, levels required to operate future directed energy weapons. Initial requirements for the Future Surface Combatant will emphasize lethality and survivability. The ships must also be modular to allow for inexpensive upgrades of weaponry, electronics, computing, and sensors over time as threats evolve.[154] The Future Surface Combatant has evolved into the Large Surface Combatant, which became the DDG(X).[155]

Operational history

 
USS Milius launches a TLAM toward Iraq, first days of the Iraq War in 2003

The class saw its first combat action through Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) strikes against Iraq.[156] Over 3 and 4 September 1996, USS Laboon and USS Russell launched 13 and eight TLAMs, respectively, as part of Operation Desert Strike.[157] In December 1998, Arleigh Burke-class destroyers again performed TLAM strikes as part of Operation Desert Fox.[158] 11 Arleigh Burkes supported carrier strike groups engaged in Operation Iraqi Freedom, which included TLAM launches against ground targets in operation's opening stages in 2003.[30][159]

In October 2011, the Navy announced that four Arleigh Burke-class destroyers would be forward-deployed in Europe to support the NATO missile defense system. The ships, to be based at Naval Station Rota, Spain, were named in February 2012 as Ross, Donald Cook, Porter, and Carney.[160] By reducing travel times to station, this forward deployment allows for six other destroyers to be shifted from the Atlantic in support of the Pivot to East Asia.[161] Russia threatened to quit the New START treaty over this deployment, calling it a threat to their nuclear deterrent.[162] In 2018, CNO Admiral John Richardson criticized the policy of keeping six highly mobile BMD platforms "in a little tiny box, defending land", a role that he believed could be performed equally well at less cost by shore-based systems.[163]

In October 2016, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers Mason and Nitze were deployed to the coast of Yemen after a UAE auxiliary ship was struck in an attack for which Houthi rebels claimed responsibility.[164] On 9 October, while in the Red Sea, Mason detected two anti-ship missiles headed toward herself and nearby USS Ponce fired from Houthi-controlled territory. Mason launched two SM-2s, one ESSM, and a Nulka decoy. One AShM was confirmed to have struck the water on its own, and it is unknown if the second missile was intercepted or hit the water on its own.[165] On 12 October, in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, Mason again detected an inbound anti-ship missile, which was intercepted at a range of 8 miles (13 km) by an SM-2.[166][167] On 13 October, Nitze conducted TLAM strikes destroying three Houthi radar sites used in the previous attacks.[168] Back in the Red Sea, Mason experienced a third attack on 15 October with five AShMs. She fired SM-2s and decoys, destroying or neutralizing four missiles. Nitze neutralized the fifth missile with a radar decoy.[167][169]

On 7 April 2017, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers Ross and Porter conducted a TLAM strike against Shayrat Airfield, Syria, in response to Syrian President Bashar Assad's chemical attack on his people three days prior.[170] The ships fired a total of 59 Tomahawk missiles.[171] On 14 April 2018, Laboon and Higgins conducted another TLAM strike against Syria. They fired seven and 23 TLAMs, respectively. The strike targeted chemical weapon sites as part of a continued effort against Assad's use of chemical warfare.[172] The Arleigh Burke-class destroyers Donald Cook and Winston S. Churchill took positions in the Mediterranean prior to the 2018 strike to mislead defending forces.[173]

Accidents and major incidents

USS Cole was damaged on 12 October 2000 in Aden, Yemen, while docked by an attack in which a shaped charge of 200–300 kg in a boat was placed against the hull and detonated by suicide bombers, killing 17 crew members. The ship was repaired and returned to duty in 2001.[174]

USS Porter and MV Otowasan collision

See also: USS Porter (DDG-78) § 2012 collision

On 12 August 2012, USS Porter collided with the oil tanker MV Otowasan near the Strait of Hormuz; there were no injuries. The U.S. Navy removed Porter's commanding officer from duty. Repairs took two months at a cost of $700,000.[175]

USS Fitzgerald and MV ACX Crystal collision

Main article: USS Fitzgerald and MV ACX Crystal collision

On 17 June 2017, USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) collided with the MV ACX Crystal cargo ship near Yokosuka, Japan. Seven sailors drowned. Following an investigation, the ship's commanding officer, executive officer, and Command Master Chief Petty Officer were relieved of their duties. In addition, close to a dozen sailors were given non-judicial punishment for losing situational awareness. Repairs were originally to be completed by the summer of 2019. However, initial repairs were made by February 2020. After the subsequent sea trials, she was brought in for additional repairs. The ship departed for her home port in June 2020.[176]

USS John S. McCain and Alnic MC collision

Main article: USS John S. McCain and Alnic MC collision

On 21 August 2017, USS John S. McCain collided with the container ship Alnic MC. The collision injured 48 sailors and killed 10, whose bodies were all recovered by 27 August. The cause of the collision was determined to be poor communication between the two ships and the bridge crew lacking situational awareness. In the aftermath, the ship's top leadership, including the commanding officer, executive officer, and Command Master Chief Petty Officer, were removed from command. In addition, top leadership of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, including the commander, Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin, were relieved of their duties due to a loss of confidence in their ability to command. Other commanders who were relieved included Rear Admiral Charles Williams, commander of Task Force 70, and Captain Jeffrey Bennett, commodore of Destroyer Squadron 15. This was the third incident involving a U.S. Navy ship in 2017, with a repair cost of over $100 million.[177]

Derivatives

The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) have adopted destroyer classes modeled on the Arleigh Burke class.[223][224]

In popular culture

The 2012 film Battleship features the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS John Paul Jones.[228]

The 2014 television series The Last Ship, loosely based on the 1988 novel of the same name, is set on the fictional USS Nathan James.[229] Its hull designation in the book is DDG-80, but it was changed to DDG-151 for the television series to avoid confusion with the real-life USS Roosevelt, which did not exist when the book was written. USS Halsey (DDG-97), a Flight IIA Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, stood in for Nathan James during filming.[230]

Since 1 and 2 ships are procured in alternate years and the "1 in a year" ships cost more, the fairest estimate of unit price comes from averaging three ships across two years. US$50-300m is spent on long lead-time items in the year before the main procurement of each ship. DDG-114 and DDG-115 together cost US$577.2m (FY2010) + US$2.922b (FY2011)= US$3.500b, (p25) and DDG-116 cost US$48m (FY2011) + US$1.981b (FY2012)= US$2.029b, (p12) making an average for the three ships of US$1.847b.

was commissioned during Admiral Burke s lifetime on 4 July 1991 With the decommissioning of the last Spruance class destroyer USS Cushing on 21 September 2005 the Arleigh Burke class ships became the U S Navy s only active destroyers until the Zumwalt class became active in 2016 The Arleigh Burke class has the longest production run for any U S Navy surface combatant 70 are active as of May 2022

Fitzgerald with Tactical Towed Array Sonar TACTAS in the center of the fantail Harpoon missile launchers distinctive stacks and no helicopter hangars Flight IIA ship USS Mustin without TACTAS and no Harpoon launchers but with helicopter hangars and new exhaust stacks designStructure Edit The Arleigh Burke class ships are among the largest destroyers built in the United States 16 only the Spruance Kidd 563 ft or 172 m and Zumwalt classes 600 ft or 180 m are longer The Arleigh Burke class was designed with a new large water plane area hull form characterized by a wide flaring bow which significantly improves seakeeping ability and permits high speed in high sea states 2 The class s design incorporates stealth techniques such as the angled rather than traditional vertical surfaces and the raked tripod mainmast 17 which make the ship more difficult to detect by radar Its designers incorporated lessons from the Ticonderoga class cruiser which the Navy deemed too expensive to continue building and difficult to upgrade further 18 For these destroyers the U S Navy returned to all steel construction except the mast made of aluminum 19 The Ticonderogas had combined a steel hull with a superstructure made of lighter aluminum to reduce top weight but the lighter metal proved vulnerable to cracking Aluminum is also less fire resistant than steel 20 a 1975 fire aboard USS Belknap gutted her aluminum superstructure 21 Battle damage to Royal Navy ships exacerbated by their aluminum superstructures during the 1982 Falklands War supported the decision to use steel Other lessons from the Falklands War led to the Navy s decision to protect the Arleigh Burke class s vital spaces with double spaced steel layers which create a buffer against anti ship missiles AShMs and Kevlar spall liners 22 Passive defenses Edit Arleigh Burke destroyers are equipped with AN SLQ 32 electronic warfare EW suites that provide electronic support 2 Vessels with the SLQ 32 V 3 or SLQ 32 V 6 variant have an additional capability to jam targeting and AShM guidance radar 23 Mark 36 SRBOC fires a chaff decoy from USS Stout The destroyers have Mark 36 infrared and chaff decoy launchers as well as Nulka decoy launchers for spoofing incoming anti ship missiles 24 25 For defeating incoming torpedoes the class has two Nixie towed countermeasures 26 The ships Prairie Maskers can reduce their radiated noise 27 A collective protection system makes the Arleigh Burke class the first U S warships designed with an air filtration system against nuclear biological and chemical warfare NBC 28 Other NBC defenses include double air locked hatches pressurized compartments and an external countermeasure washdown system 29 The class s electronics are hardened against electromagnetic pulses EMPs 30 Fire suppression equipment includes water sprinklers in the living quarters and Combat Information Center CIC 22 The CIC is below the waterline 19 Weapon systems Edit The Arleigh Burke class are multi mission ships 8 with numerous combat systems including anti aircraft missiles land attack missiles ship to ship missiles and an anti submarine warfare ASW system 22 Missiles are stored in and fired from Mark 41 Vertical Launching System VLS cells with 90 cells on Flights I II and 96 cells starting with Flight IIA 31 the Arleigh Burkes are more armed than many preceding guided missile cruiser classes 16 The Arleigh Burke class destroyer is equipped with the Aegis Combat System which combines information from the ship s sensors to display a coherent image of the environment and guides weapons to targets using advanced tracking and fire control 32 Their main radar differs from traditional mechanically rotating radars Instead Aegis uses the AN SPY 1D passive electronically scanned array or the AN SPY 6 active electronically scanned array on Flight III ships which allows continual tracking of targets simultaneous to area scans The system s computer control also allows centralization of the previously separate tracking and targeting functions The system is resistant to electronic countermeasures 33 34 35 USS The Sullivans foreground and other ships conducting a coordinated SM 2MR launch The Standard Missile SM 2MR ER and SM 6 provide area air defense though they may also be used in a secondary ASuW role 36 The SM 2 uses semi active radar homing SARH meaning that up to three targets may be simultaneously intercepted since the Arleigh Burkes have three AN SPG 62 fire control radars for terminal target illumination 37 8 The SM 6 which provides over the horizon defense 38 and the SM 2 Block IIIC feature a dual mode seeker with active radar homing ARH capability they do not have to rely on external illumination so more targets could theoretically be intercepted simultaneously 39 40 Flight IIA and III destroyers carry RIM 162 Evolved SeaSparrow Missiles ESSMs 41 42 which provide medium range defense against missiles and aircraft and are small enough to be quad packed into a single Mk 41 VLS cell ESSM is also capable of targeting other ships ESSM Block 1 uses SARH guided similarly to older SM 2s ESSM Block 2 features a dual mode seeker with ARH capability and it was scheduled for Initial Operating Capability IOC in 2020 43 The SM 3 SM 6 and SM 2ER Block IV provide Ballistic Missile Defense BMD the SM 3 being an exoatmospheric interceptor 44 and the latter two having terminal phase anti ballistic capability 45 38 So vital has the Aegis BMD role become that all ships of the class are being updated with BMD capability 46 As of August 2021 there are 42 BMD capable Arleigh Burke class destroyers 47 Flight III ships will be delivered from 2023 with new AN SPY 6 V 1 radars and improved BMD capabilities Flight IIA ships are also planned to receive these upgrades with AN SPY 6 V 4 radar retrofits 48 Flights I and II carry two stand alone Harpoon anti ship missile launchers for a total of four or eight Harpoons 49 giving them an anti ship capability with a range in excess of 64 nautical miles 119 km 74 mi 2 The class can perform tactical land strikes with VLS launched Tomahawks 2 With the development of the Tomahawk Block V all existing Block IV Tomahawks carried will be converted to the Block V The Tomahawk Block Va version is called the Maritime Strike version and it provides anti ship capability in addition to its land attack role The Block Vb version features the Joint Multi Effects Warhead System for hitting a wider variety of land targets 50 51 USS Preble shooting a Mark 46 torpedo Arleigh Burke class ships feature the Navy s latest AN SQQ 89 ASW combat system which is integrated with Aegis It encompasses the AN SQS 53C bow mounted sonar and a towed array sonar though several Flight IIA ships do not have a towed array 52 The towed array is either the AN SQR 19 Tactical Towed Array Sonar TACTAS or the newer TB 37U Multi Function Towed Array MFTA The ships carry standoff RUM 139 anti submarine rockets which have a range of 22 km and deploy the Mark 54 ASW torpedo For short range defense against submarines they have two Mark 32 triple torpedo tubes one to the port side and one to the starboard side that can fire the Mark 46 Mark 50 and Mark 54 ASW torpedoes The ships can detect anti ship mines at a range of about 1 400 meters 53 54 All ships of the class are fitted with at least one Phalanx close in weapon system CIWS which provides point defense against air and surface threats Eight ships DDG 51 DDG 64 DDG 71 DDG 75 DDG 78 DDG 80 DDG 84 DDG 117 are equipped with one SeaRAM CIWS to improve their self defense 55 56 57 58 59 Arleigh Burkes also carry two 25 mm Mk 38 Machine Gun Systems one on each side of the ship designed to counter fast surface craft 60 There are numerous mounts for crew served weapons like the M2 Browning 61 USS Forrest Sherman in 2007 test firing her new 5 62 caliber Mark 45 Mod 4 gun located forward of her 32 cell missile pack module Located on the forward deck is the 5 inch 127 mm Mark 45 gun Directed by the Mark 34 Gun Weapon System GWS it can be used in anti ship close in anti aircraft and naval gunfire support NGFS roles 62 It has a range of up to 20 miles 32 km and can fire 16 20 rounds per minute The Mark 45 gun on the Arleigh Burke class destroyer has an ammunition stowage of 600 shells 63 Aircraft Edit MH 60 Seahawk above USS Bulkeley s flight deck Flights IIA and III are equipped with two hangars for stowing MH 60 helicopters Their Light Airborne Multi Purpose System LAMPS helicopter system improves the ship s capabilities against submarines and surface ships by enabling the MH 60 to serve as a platform for monitoring submarines and surface ships launching torpedoes and missiles against them and providing fire support during insertions extractions with machine guns and Hellfire anti armor guided missiles 64 The helicopters also serve in a utility role able to perform ship replenishment search and rescue medical evacuation communications relay and naval gunfire spotting and controlling In March 2022 an Arleigh Burke destroyer was deployed with an AAI Aerosonde unmanned aerial vehicle UAV The aircraft is under demonstration for Flight I and II ships which do not have accommodations for permanently storing helicopters The Aerosonde has a small enough footprint to be stowed on those destroyers It can perform missions such as intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance ISR at a much lower cost than manned helicopters 65 Development EditOrigins and Flight I Edit The Chief of Naval Operations CNO from 1970 to 1974 Admiral Elmo Zumwalt sought to improve the U S fleet through modernization at minimal cost Zumwalt advocated for a high low mix philosophy He envisioned the high low mix as constituted by a few high end high cost warships and numerous low end low cost warships The introduction of the Aegis equipped Ticonderoga class cruiser in the early 1980s filled the high end The Navy started work to develop a lower cost Aegis equipped vessel to fill the low end and replace the aging Charles F Adams destroyers 66 67 68 In 1980 the U S Navy initiated design studies with seven contractors By 1983 the number of competitors had been reduced to three Bath Iron Works Ingalls Shipbuilding and Todd Shipyards 28 On 3 April 1985 Bath Iron Works received a US 321 9 million contract to build the first of the class USS Arleigh Burke 69 Gibbs amp Cox was awarded the contract to be the lead ship design agent 70 The Navy contracted Ingalls Shipbuilding to build the second ship 71 Political restraints led to design restrictions including the absence of helicopter hangars a displacement limit of 8 300 tons and a 50 foot shorter hull than the Ticonderoga s The designers were forced to make compromises such as a wide flaring bow To compensate for the limited length the originally planned 80 000 shaft horsepower shp LM2500 gas turbines were upgraded to 100 000 shp 66 An OTO Melara 76 mm as the main gun was under consideration at one point 68 Despite their constraints the designers benefitted from insight gained from previous classes for example they chose an all steel superstructure to improve survivability 22 The total cost of the first ship was 1 1 billion the other 778 million being for the ship s weapons systems 69 USS Arleigh Burke was laid down by the Bath Iron Works at Bath Maine on 6 December 1988 and launched on 16 September 1989 by Mrs Arleigh Burke The Admiral himself was present at her commissioning ceremony on 4 July 1991 held on the waterfront in downtown Norfolk Virginia 66 Orders for Flight I ships continued through 1995 Flight II Edit The Flight II iteration of the class was introduced in FY1992 2 The incorporation of the AN SRS 1A V Combat Direction Finding enhanced detection of signals 72 The TADIX B JTIDS Command and Control Processor and Link 16 improved communication with other assets 73 The SLQ 32 EW suite was upgraded to V 3 and the SPS 67 V 3 surface search radar was upgraded to V 5 74 Flight II also gained the capability to launch and control the SM 2ER Block IV 75 An expansion of fuel capacity slightly increased the displacement 19 Flight IIA Edit Profile of Flight IIA Arleigh Burke class destroyer The Flight IIA design was first procured in FY1994 76 Among the additions are two hangars and support facilities for ASW helicopters Cooperative Engagement Capability CEC 75 the Kingfisher mine detection system and five blast resistant bulkheads 31 To accommodate the hangars the length was increased to 509 5 ft 155 3 m and the rear facing SPY 1D arrays are mounted one deck eight feet higher to prevent a blind spot 77 Flight IIA also replaced retractable missile loading cranes on the forward and aft VLS with a total of six additional cells The propellers are of a different design to reduce cavitation 78 New fiber optics helped minimize weight gain and improve reliability 79 Systems omitted from Flight IIA include the Harpoon missile launchers N 1 and starting with USS McCampbell DDG 85 the forward Phalanx CIWS 80 Flight IIA ships were initially built without the AN SQR 19 TACTAS 52 though later units were subsequently installed with TACTAS 77 Starting with USS Winston S Churchill DDG 81 the longer 5 inch 62 caliber 127 mm Mark 45 Mod 4 gun was installed 31 Later Flight IIA ships starting with USS Mason DDG 87 use the BridgeMaster E as their navigation radar instead of the AN SPS 73 V 12 81 Subsequent Flight IIA ships employ additional signature reduction measures the hangars of DDG 86 onwards are made of composite materials and the exhaust funnels of DDG 89 onwards are buried within the superstructure 31 The use of the improved SPY 1D V radar starting with USS Pinckney DDG 91 enhances the ships ability to filter out clutter and resist electronic attack 82 USS Momsen 2006 with torpedo tubes mounted on aft missile deck rather than earlier amidships mounting superstructure changes to accommodate an AN WLD 1 holding bay and lacking CIWS Several Flight IIA ships were constructed without any Phalanx CIWS because of the planned Evolved SeaSparrow Missile the Navy had initially decided that ESSM made Phalanx redundant 31 However the Navy later changed its mind and decided to retrofit all IIA ships to carry at least one Phalanx CIWS by 2013 80 DDGs 91 96 USS Pinckney USS Momsen USS Chung Hoon USS Nitze USS James E Williams and USS Bainbridge were built with superstructure differences to accommodate the AN WLD 1 Remote Minehunting System RMS 83 However only DDG 96 was installed with the system before the RMS program was canceled 84 85 Modernization Edit To help address congressional concerns over the retirement of the Iowa class battleship the Navy began a modernization program for the Arleigh Burkes aimed at improving their gun systems This modernization was to include an extension of the range of the 5 inch 127 mm guns on the Flight I Arleigh Burke class destroyers with Extended Range Guided Munitions ERGMs that would have given the guns a range of 40 nautical miles 74 km 86 87 88 However the ERGM was canceled in 2008 89 The current modernization program is designed to provide a comprehensive mid life upgrade to ensure that the class remains effective Modernization of existing ships helps to provide commonality with production ships The program s goals are reduced manning increased mission effectiveness and reduced total cost including construction maintenance and operation 90 Modernization technologies were integrated on DDGs 111 and 112 during their construction and retrofitted into Flight I and II ships 91 The first phase updates the hull mechanical and electrical systems while the second phase introduces an Open Architecture Computing Environment OACE The result will be improved capability in both BMD and littoral combat N 2 92 93 By 2018 all Arleigh Burke class ships homeported in the Western Pacific will have upgraded ASW systems including the new TB 37U Multi Function Towed Array MFTA 94 95 Combat Information Center aboard USS John S McCain The Navy is also upgrading the ships ability to process data beginning with USS Spruance DDG 111 the Navy is installing an Internet Protocol based data backbone to enhance the ships ability to handle video Spruance is also the first destroyer to be fitted with the Boeing Company s Gigabit Ethernet Data Multiplex System GEDMS 96 In July 2010 BAE Systems announced it had been awarded a contract to modernize 11 ships 97 In May 2014 USNI News reported that 21 of the 28 Flight I II Arleigh Burke class destroyers would not receive a mid life upgrade that included electronics and Aegis Baseline 9 software for SM 6 compatibility instead they would retain the basic BMD 3 6 1 software in a 170 million upgrade concentrating on mechanical systems and on some ships their anti submarine suite 98 99 Seven Flight I ships DDG 51 53 57 61 65 69 received the full 270 million Baseline 9 upgrade 98 Deputy of surface warfare Dave McFarland said that this change was due to the budget cuts in the Budget Control Act of 2011 100 In 2016 the Navy announced it would begin outfitting 34 Flight IIA Arleigh Burke vessels with a hybrid electric drive HED to lower fuel costs The four LM2500 gas turbines of the Arleigh Burkes are most efficient at high speeds an electric motor was to be attached to the main reduction gear to turn the drive shaft and propel the ship at speeds under 13 knots 24 km h such as during BMD or maritime security operations Use of the HED for half the time could extend time on station by 2 5 days before refueling 101 In March 2018 the Navy announced the HED would be installed on USS Truxtun DDG 103 to test the technology but upgrades of further destroyers would be halted due to budget priorities 102 USS Cole left and two other Arleigh Burke class destroyers docked at Naval Station Norfolk in July 2009 Also in 2016 four destroyers of the U S 6th Fleet based in Naval Station Rota Spain USS Carney USS Ross USS Donald Cook and USS Porter received self protection upgrades replacing one of their two Phalanx CIWS with a SeaRAM CIWS which combines the Phalanx sensor dome with an 11 cell RIM 116 launcher This was the first time the system was paired with an Aegis ship 103 Another four ships USS Arleigh Burke USS Roosevelt USS Bulkeley and USS Paul Ignatius have since been forward deployed to Rota and also received a SeaRAM 56 57 58 59 The AN SLQ 32 EW suite used by the class is currently being upgraded under the Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program SEWIP The SEWIP Block 2 AN SLQ 32 V 6 features improved electronic support capability and it was first installed on Arleigh Burke class destroyers in 2014 104 As of 2022 it is in full rate production for installation on the latest Arleigh Burke class destroyers and for retrofit on existing ones replacing their existing V 2 and V 3 equipment 105 106 The SEWIP Block 3 AN SLQ 32 V 7 will improve ships electronic attack capability 105 In February 2018 Lockheed Martin received a contract to deliver its High Energy Laser and Integrated Optical dazzler with Surveillance HELIOS system for installation onto an Arleigh Burke destroyer HELIOS is a 60 kW class laser scalable to 120 kW that can dazzle or destroy small boats and UAVs up to 8 0 km 5 mi away 107 108 It would be the first laser weapon put on a warship 109 110 In November 2019 USS Dewey DDG 105 had the Optical Dazzling Interdictor Navy ODIN system installed which was publicly revealed in February 2020 ODIN differs from the XN 1 LaWS previously mounted on USS Ponce in that ODIN functions as a dazzler which blinds or destroys optical sensors on drones rather than fully shooting down the aircraft 111 112 HELIOS underwent land based testing from August 2021 to March 2022 113 114 It was delivered to the Navy in August 2022 and installed on USS Preble DDG 88 Preble is expected to begin at sea testing of the HELIOS in FY2023 115 In FY2019 the Navy started a program to procure the Mod 4 variant of the Mark 38 Machine Gun System 116 to address unmanned aerial systems UAS and high speed maneuverable unmanned surface vehicle USV threats 117 Mod 4 will incorporate the 30 mm Mk44 Bushmaster II instead of the 25 mm M242 Bushmaster of previous variants 118 intended to improve accuracy increase lethality and increase effective range The Mk 38 Mod 4 was scheduled to achieve IOC on Arleigh Burke class destroyers in FY2022 117 and it will be fielded on Flights IIA and III 119 In October 2020 National Security Advisor Robert C O Brien said that all three Flights of the Arleigh Burke class destroyer would field the Common Hypersonic Glide Body C HGB missile developed under the Conventional Prompt Strike program However the C HCB is expected to be around 3 ft 0 91 m wide making it too large to fit in Mk 41 VLS tubes or on deck launchers Installing them on Arleigh Burke destroyers would require removing some Mk 41 cells to accommodate the larger weapon an expensive and time consuming process 120 121 There is criticism of this idea the oldest Flight I ships would need a service life extension to justify refit costs that would only prolong their service lives a short time when they are already more expensive to operate and the newest Flight III ships that are optimized for BMD would be given a new complex mission requiring a major refit shortly after introduction 122 In December 2021 the Navy awarded Raytheon a 237 million contract for integration and production support to upgrade Flight IIA ships from AN SPY 1D to AN SPY 6 V 4 This upgrade would provide capabilities similar to Flight III ships such as integrated air and missile defense with the ability to track multiple ballistic missile or air targets Due to the smaller superstructure of the Flight IIA ships compared to Flight III ships the radar implementation will be scaled down from the Flight III AN SPY 6 V 1 version with fewer 24 vs 37 radar module assemblies RMAs N 3 124 Production restarted Edit A destroyer of the Zumwalt class the next after the Arleigh Burke class Only 3 ships out of 32 planned Zumwalts were built USS Michael Murphy DDG 112 was originally intended to be the last of the Arleigh Burke class The class was scheduled to be replaced by Zumwalt class destroyers beginning in 2020 125 However an increasing threat from both long and short range missiles caused the Navy to restart production of the Arleigh Burke class 126 in place of the Zumwalt class and consider placing littoral combat mission modules on the new ships 127 128 129 The U S Navy has been producing Arleigh Burke class destroyers for longer than any other surface combatant class in the Navy s history 130 In April 2009 the Navy announced a plan limiting the Zumwalt class to three units while ordering another three Arleigh Burke class ships from both Bath Iron Works and Ingalls Shipbuilding 129 In December 2009 Northrop Grumman received a 170 7 million letter contract for USS John Finn DDG 113 long lead time materials 131 Shipbuilding contracts for DDG 113 to DDG 115 were awarded in mid 2011 for 679 6 million 783 6 million 132 these do not include government furnished equipment such as weapons and sensors which will take the average cost of the FY2011 12 ships to 1 843 billion per vessel 1 DDG 113 to DDG 115 are restart ships similar to previous Flight IIA ships but including modernization features such as Open Architecture Computing Environment and the TB 37U MFTA which is being backfit onto previous Flight IIA ships 133 DDG 116 to DDG 121 will be Technology Insertion ships with elements of the future Flight III 134 For example USS Delbert D Black DDG 119 and onwards have the AN SPQ 9B instead of the AN SPS 67 a feature planned for Flight III 135 Flight III proper began with the third ship procured in 2016 136 USS Jack H Lucas DDG 125 137 In spite of the production restart the U S Navy is expected to fall short of its requirement for 94 destroyer or cruiser platforms capable of missile defense starting in FY2025 and continuing past the end of the 30 year planning window While this was a new requirement as of 2011 and the U S Navy has never had so many large missile armed surface combatants the relative success of the Aegis BMD System has shifted this national security requirement onto the U S Navy The shortfall will arise as older platforms that have been refitted to be missile defense capable particularly the cruisers are retired in bulk before new destroyers are planned to be built 138 The U S Navy was considering extending the acquisition of Arleigh Burke class destroyers into the 2040s according to revised procurement tables sent to Congress with the procurement of Flight IV ships from 2032 through 2041 139 This was canceled to cover the cost of the Columbia class submarines with the air defense commander role retained on one cruiser per carrier strike group 140 In April 2022 the Navy proposed a procurement plan for nine ships with an option for a tenth to build two ships a year from 2023 to 2027 Some lawmakers pushed to add a third ship to be built in 2023 bringing the total of the proposed deal to eleven ships This would follow the Navy s two ship per year procurement from 2018 to 2022 141 Flight III Edit USS Jack H Lucas the first Flight III destroyer after her launch on 4 June 2021 It was anticipated that in FY2012 or FY2013 the U S Navy would commence detailed work for a Flight III design and request 24 ships to be built from 2016 to 2031 142 The Flight III variant was in the design phase as of 2013 update In June 2013 the U S Navy awarded 6 2 billion in destroyer contracts 143 Costs for the Flight III ships increased rapidly as expectations and requirements for the program have grown In particular this was due to the changing requirements needed to carry the proposed Air and Missile Defense Radar AMDR system required for the ships BMD role 144 The Government Accountability Office GAO found that the design of the Flight III was based on a significantly reduced threat environment from other Navy analyses and that the new ships would be at best marginally effective because of the now shrunken radar The U S Navy disagreed with the GAO findings stating that the DDG 51 hull was absolutely capable of fitting a large enough radar to meet requirements 145 Flight III ships construction starting in FY2016 in place of the canceled CG X program have various design improvements including radar antennas of mid diameter increased to 14 feet 4 3 m from the previous 12 feet 3 7 m 146 The AN SPY 6 AMDR uses an active electronically scanned array with digital beamforming instead of the earlier passive electronically scanned array radars 147 According to Raytheon the contractor for the SPY 6 the 37 RMA SPY 6 V 1 offers a 15 dB improved sensitivity compared to SPY 1 N 4 149 The Flight III s AMDR will be integrated with Aegis Baseline 10 150 14 Flight III ships have been ordered 151 and Flight III IOC is scheduled for 2023 with the commissioning of USS Jack H Lucas 152 153 The U S Navy may procure up to 42 Flight III ships for an overall total of 117 ships of the class 153 Replacement EditMain article DDG X DDG X concept from Program Executive Office Ships PEO Ships as presented in the 2022 Surface Navy Association symposium The first ship of this class is planned to enter service around the year 2030 In April 2014 the U S Navy began the development of a new destroyer to replace the Arleigh Burke class called the Future Surface Combatant The new class is expected to enter service in the early 2030s and initially serve alongside the Flight III DDGs The destroyer class will incorporate emerging technologies like lasers onboard power generation systems increased automation and next generation weapons sensors and electronics They will leverage technologies from other platforms such as the Zumwalt class destroyer littoral combat ships and the Gerald R Ford class aircraft carrier 154 The Future Surface Combatant may place importance on the Zumwalt class destroyer s electric drive system that provides propulsion while generating 58 megawatts of electrical power levels required to operate future directed energy weapons Initial requirements for the Future Surface Combatant will emphasize lethality and survivability The ships must also be modular to allow for inexpensive upgrades of weaponry electronics computing and sensors over time as threats evolve 154 The Future Surface Combatant has evolved into the Large Surface Combatant which became the DDG X 155 Operational history Edit USS Milius launches a TLAM toward Iraq first days of the Iraq War in 2003 The class saw its first combat action through Tomahawk Land Attack Missile TLAM strikes against Iraq 156 Over 3 and 4 September 1996 USS Laboon and USS Russell launched 13 and eight TLAMs respectively as part of Operation Desert Strike 157 In December 1998 Arleigh Burke class destroyers again performed TLAM strikes as part of Operation Desert Fox 158 11 Arleigh Burkes supported carrier strike groups engaged in Operation Iraqi Freedom which included TLAM launches against ground targets in operation s opening stages in 2003 30 159 In October 2011 the Navy announced that four Arleigh Burke class destroyers would be forward deployed in Europe to support the NATO missile defense system The ships to be based at Naval Station Rota Spain were named in February 2012 as Ross Donald Cook Porter and Carney 160 By reducing travel times to station this forward deployment allows for six other destroyers to be shifted from the Atlantic in support of the Pivot to East Asia 161 Russia threatened to quit the New START treaty over this deployment calling it a threat to their nuclear deterrent 162 In 2018 CNO Admiral John Richardson criticized the policy of keeping six highly mobile BMD platforms in a little tiny box defending land a role that he believed could be performed equally well at less cost by shore based systems 163 In October 2016 the Arleigh Burke class destroyers Mason and Nitze were deployed to the coast of Yemen after a UAE auxiliary ship was struck in an attack for which Houthi rebels claimed responsibility 164 On 9 October while in the Red Sea Mason detected two anti ship missiles headed toward herself and nearby USS Ponce fired from Houthi controlled territory Mason launched two SM 2s one ESSM and a Nulka decoy One AShM was confirmed to have struck the water on its own and it is unknown if the second missile was intercepted or hit the water on its own 165 On 12 October in the Bab el Mandeb strait Mason again detected an inbound anti ship missile which was intercepted at a range of 8 miles 13 km by an SM 2 166 167 On 13 October Nitze conducted TLAM strikes destroying three Houthi radar sites used in the previous attacks 168 Back in the Red Sea Mason experienced a third attack on 15 October with five AShMs She fired SM 2s and decoys destroying or neutralizing four missiles Nitze neutralized the fifth missile with a radar decoy 167 169 On 7 April 2017 the Arleigh Burke class destroyers Ross and Porter conducted a TLAM strike against Shayrat Airfield Syria in response to Syrian President Bashar Assad s chemical attack on his people three days prior 170 The ships fired a total of 59 Tomahawk missiles 171 On 14 April 2018 Laboon and Higgins conducted another TLAM strike against Syria They fired seven and 23 TLAMs respectively The strike targeted chemical weapon sites as part of a continued effort against Assad s use of chemical warfare 172 The Arleigh Burke class destroyers Donald Cook and Winston S Churchill took positions in the Mediterranean prior to the 2018 strike to mislead defending forces 173 Accidents and major incidents EditUSS Cole bombing Edit Main article USS Cole bombing USS Cole being towed from the port city of Aden after the bombing Blast damage to the hull is visible mid ship USS Cole was damaged on 12 October 2000 in Aden Yemen while docked by an attack in which a shaped charge of 200 300 kg in a boat was placed against the hull and detonated by suicide bombers killing 17 crew members The ship was repaired and returned to duty in 2001 174 USS Porter and MV Otowasan collision Edit See also USS Porter DDG 78 2012 collision On 12 August 2012 USS Porter collided with the oil tanker MV Otowasan near the Strait of Hormuz there were no injuries The U S Navy removed Porter s commanding officer from duty Repairs took two months at a cost of 700 000 175 USS Fitzgerald and MV ACX Crystal collision Edit Main article USS Fitzgerald and MV ACX Crystal collision On 17 June 2017 USS Fitzgerald DDG 62 collided with the MV ACX Crystal cargo ship near Yokosuka Japan Seven sailors drowned Following an investigation the ship s commanding officer executive officer and Command Master Chief Petty Officer were relieved of their duties In addition close to a dozen sailors were given non judicial punishment for losing situational awareness Repairs were originally to be completed by the summer of 2019 However initial repairs were made by February 2020 After the subsequent sea trials she was brought in for additional repairs The ship departed for her home port in June 2020 176 USS John S McCain and Alnic MC collision Edit Main article USS John S McCain and Alnic MC collision On 21 August 2017 USS John S McCain collided with the container ship Alnic MC The collision injured 48 sailors and killed 10 whose bodies were all recovered by 27 August The cause of the collision was determined to be poor communication between the two ships and the bridge crew lacking situational awareness In the aftermath the ship s top leadership including the commanding officer executive officer and Command Master Chief Petty Officer were removed from command In addition top leadership of the U S Seventh Fleet including the commander Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin were relieved of their duties due to a loss of confidence in their ability to command Other commanders who were relieved included Rear Admiral Charles Williams commander of Task Force 70 and Captain Jeffrey Bennett commodore of Destroyer Squadron 15 This was the third incident involving a U S Navy ship in 2017 with a repair cost of over 100 million 177 Contractors EditBuilders 37 units constructed by General Dynamics Bath Iron Works Division and 33 by Huntington Ingalls Industries formerly Northrop Grumman Ship Systems Ingalls
