Lol you forgot these destroyers and US carriers use a Australian invention called Nulka as defense, it is a hovering decoy rocket and battle proven against Houthis in Red sea since 2016 when USS Mason first used it and has been last few months also.
A suggestion a 3:46. Please use accurate 24 km representation, instead of a world map and a ship in the Atlantic. This would give the impression that the ship could stike London by just being in the middle of the Atlantic. Your videos are amazing and having more accuracy would only improve them
The bridge is merely where they steer the ship and tell it where to go. The CIC (combat information center) is more the command and control center of the ship. It's where all the sensors feed into and where all the ship's weapon system can be control.
There's also Aft Steering and there are multiple radar rooms which might have tie-in to navigation radar for collision avoidance in extreme cases. Tbis would be in addition to the radar rooms neing configured as local conteol stations for laying or directing ordnance onto targets. The Bridge is just the traditional command location when not in combat conditions. If the bridge is damaged, and if CIC is also damaged, then, CCS (Central Control Station) can take over. The ship has numerous cameras for various reasons, so, some can be used if personnel must remain inside the skin of the ship. However, if you're super interested in "failures to communicate", look up the NTSB and other sources for a roughly 80-page report that specifically breaks down the failure modes and other issues regarding the collisions of the USS JOHN S. MCCAIN and the USS FITZGERALD when in a few months apart they separately collided with tankers which given the heft/girth/mass/speed could have outright sunk those ships if hit in the right location. Sadly, given design choices and politics (don't let the DDG-51 dare compete with or threaten the new and beloved or "darling" Aegis Program cruisers, per some corners) from decades ago, sleeping below the waterline and being hit by a bulbous bow and overhang anchor of a merchant, however rare, can prove exceedingly deadly when the lookous, radar, beacons, and GPS all fail all at once.
Not exactly. CIC is relied on during combat. Otherwise the bridge is in complete control. I was a navigator for 20 years and I spent half my time on the bridge.
There are no diesel generators on an Arleigh Burke class DDG, they have three Rolls Royce gas turbine generators, the first 28 ships of the class have 90 Mk-41 cells, the rest have 96. For the 5" gun, there's nothing automated about moving the shells and powder casings from the racks where they are stowed to the vertical hoist (that's done by about 4 or 5 Sailors). There are no "reverse" gears on them either, but they use variable pitch propellers, so instead of having to stop and spin the propellers backwards, you just change the angle of the blades on it to make the ship move in reverse.
On the Hoel, DDG-13 we had 4 steam powered main generators and 2 emergency diesel generators (One forward, one aft). Burke's don't have emergency diesel generators?
@@ToddRainer-j4d Nope, just three gas turbine generators. Normally just run on two of them. They use a helicopter gas turbine to start the generator main gas turbine and that helicopter gas turbine (starter) engine uses two 12 volt batteries to start it.
@@dundonrl Interesting. I like having two separate systems separated in the ship. I the main spaces were hit, and that's always likely - then the forward and aft generators will at least provide emergency power for coms and the like.
@user-ui1kv8lo5l That's assuming the shock of a collision, a bomb blast, or grounding doesn't knock the gens off the line. I'd heard/read that the bombing of the Cole was so severe blast (the boat-bomb masquerading as a port serviced or harbor aide) it shock-wrecked the GTGS Nr 1 (below CIC and Nr 2 (MER 2) and the crew ended up using firehoses and a bucket brigade to get fuel (drawn from tanks probably 2 or more compartments forward of the Nr 3 GTGS?) some decks below the Hangar Bay into the aft gast turbine generator (GTG Nr 3) fuel feed line. Firehouse are not meant for fuel transfer, so, IIUC, the hoses contaminated thenfuel, and the strainers couldn't keep up. I served on the Flint (AE-32) (1/85-3/86) and on the John A. Moore (FFG-19) (~10/86-4/88), and it was not fun when the diesels dropped the load and it took 3-15 minutes to restore power and reload all surface and air contacts (whether by hand or backup data cartridges). Unless hit with a shipwrecker missile, most combatants should not lose ALL power simultaneously nor spend 20 minutes restoring it. But, it seems gennies are sensitve to shock more than advertised, I suppose.
For those who are wondering about the MK.45 Naval Gun General Characteristics Primary Function: Fully-automatic, naval gun mount. Date Deployed: 1971 (Mark 45 Mod 0) Range: 13 nautical miles (14.9 statute miles) with conventional ammunition. Type Fire: 16-20 rounds per minute automatic, conventional ammunition. Magazine Capacity: 600 rounds conventional for Destroyers; 1200 rounds conventional for Cruisers. Caliber: 5 inch 54 caliber (MK 54 Mod 1/2) barrel length of 270 inches (54 x 5) Guidance System: MK 45 Gun Mount is remotely fired from the MK 160 Gun Computer System or MK 86 Gun Fire Control System during normal operations Platforms: MK 45 MOD 1 (5"/54) - CGs 61, 65-68 (2 gun mounts per ship). MK 45 MOD 2 (5"/54) - DDGs 51-80 5" 54 (1 gun mount per ship); CGs 69-73 (2 gun mounts per ship). MK 45 MOD 4 (5"/62) - DDG 81-113AF (1 gun mount per ship); CG 52-60, 62-64 (2 gun mounts per ship).
exactly right! any other info is Misinformation spready by the goverment to make you feel less connected to the countries "across the pond" why else would it be called a pond if it wasn't rather small!
Major error on the MK 45 Gun section. No USN ships have an "automated ammunition shuttle" The rounds are hand loaded into the lower hoist from bulk storage (or straight into the loader drum if the magazine is on the same deck such as the rear gun on the Ticonderoga's). The RN, RAN and RCN will have such a system when their type 26 (or derivatives) come on line but this seems a waste of weight,ones and maintenance to me as an former operator maintainer of the MK 45
What a huge 24 km hahaha... From Istanbul Turkiye to the Titanic shipwreck in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. :D Greetings from Türkiye. Thanks for this beautiful video.
As part of the RD team that manufactured the high speed reduction gearing for DDG 51. Working in the GEAR plant in Lynn MASS for GE. I ran the largest 7 axis cnc horz boring mill especially installed for the project. Myself and another machinist machined the prototype high speed reduction gearing required for testing. I wish more was talked about because in 87 after they went into production I resigned. I completely left the machinist trade fora better life and did
lol i had to laugh when they used Australia invention Nulka in season 4. it does not give off the a picture like that when used. Yes it does confuse a missile to think it is the ship in a radar signature bigger then the ship but not like that.
As mentioned elsewhere, the DDG-51s do not have diesels. Reportedly, the Australian Air Warfare Destroyer, the UK Daring, and the Spanish licensed Aegis Frigate have diesels. Note that the USN has 3 Allison family of generators bought out by Rolls Royce/Rolls-Royce, but only two are operational at any given time. One provides power, and a 2nd is on hot standby or for load balancing, and other reasons (I wasn't an EM, EN, FN, GSE, GSM, or other; I was a Radioman aboard an FFG-7 (FRG-19) ship which does (it still exists, in the Turkish Navy, Gediz, Hull 497) have 2 GE LM2500s and IIRC 2 diesel generators, on forward and one near the Main Engine Room, which I did visit once or twice. I had access to many spaces while working towards my ESWS Pin, but also separate from that had eventually been in almost every space aboard that ship, even in the space between the LM2500 uptakes, the air intake housing when our 2 engines were replaced, the Mk 13 missile space, one of the two diesel rooms, supply, and the VCHT spaces, as well as the COs, the XOs cabins, and some of those of the officers. I didn't go into the Engineers Enlisted Berthing as they were fiercely territorial more than Ops and Deck. The political design choices foisted onto the Navy if it wanted funding for the Burkes was the 51s had to be AT LEAST 50 feet shorter than the Ticos/Spruances. (The Ticos, due to mass/displacement picked up a wet foredeck/foc'sle, so bulwarks had ro be added, increasing the ship's length by about 4 feet over that of the parent hull, the Spruance Class . So, ~503 feet the Flight 1 became. That forced the removal of one of the two watertight compartment separation between the 2 main engine rooms, shortened the ship, made her a wide, fuel-guzzling hog, and forced the Navy to ask GE to up the per-engine SHP so the 51s would be able to keep up with the Bird Farms. Such political imposing prevented the Navy from being able to in the future make use of the Northrop Grumman AHDS, which was conceived of in the mid 1970, to be what the Navy around 2016 or so tried to implement to desperately reign in the DDG-51 fuel consumption. The 51 could fit only ONE, not the envisaged 2 to 4 units. So, without a real redundancy due to sheer lack of space without cutting or removing something, it was probably pointless to proceed. So, no AHDS for th others of the class in any flight up to 2A. One GTG is forward of the fwd engine room, one is in MER 2, and one is aft in the Generator Room. When two run, one is off, in standby, or undergoing maintenance. For bus loading/frequency/voltage/transmission line capabilities/myriad reasons, you'll probably never have all three running at once. This seems to be physica, as IIUC, the online genny counts limit applies to other navies as well depending on the gennies chosen, power capability, redundancy, switchboard, and control systems, and much much more. Sadly, when one of the two Burke destroyers that made contact with merchants off Japan (or, this may actually be related to the COLE), the jolt was so hard that the ship lost all power for several minutes across the two running gens. IIUC, the loss of power killed the ability to pump fuel to aft where the one working genny was physically operable. So, a bucket brigade or a hose brigade was needed. Fire hoses are not rated for fuel transfer, so... This is not first-hand information. It's either in the NTSB reports or elsewhere in trade/industry papers. Happy Hunting (for info)!
SPG-62 radars don't spin around like that. They are not search radars, they are target illumination radars (kind of the exact opposite). On Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, the role of the search radar falls on four SPY-1 (or SPY-6 in case of Flight III ships) solid state electronically steered phased array S-band radars placed around vessel's superstructure giving the ship 360 degree real time radar cover with each SPY-1 array capable of tracking and engaging 100 targets in real time (based on official unclassified information. The true number is almost certainly at least twice that and most likely still much higher), with SPY-6 array reported being 30 times more sensitive (note that this doesn't necessarily mean capable of engaging more targets). Being S-band radars gives them excellent range but insufficient resolution to accurately guide semi-active radar-guided missiles (such as SM-2 and ESSM Block 1) in their terminal phase (last few seconds before impacting the target) which requires X-band. This is where SPG-62 radars come into play. When SM-2 or ESSM Block 1 enter their terminal phase, SPG-62 antenna will illuminate their target with a narrow X-band beam giving the missiles highest possible radar resolution. Once target has been destroyed, the SPG-62 antenna may point to another target, but will most certainly not be spinning like a search radar. This is why there are three of them on each Burke and four on each Tico-cruiser. Good job with the animation and 3d modeling by the way.
They aren't giving away anything. I commissioned the USS Roosevelt DDG-80. I was a Firecontrolman 1st class. Pretty much everything in the video is very basic info.
Impressive, most impressive. My favorite How it works video was that of the submarine in which you used the Virginia class block V intended version to accommodate additional tomahawk missiles. As previously stated though a single silo could accommodate 7 tomahawks I would nonetheless reserve one of the silos for a Trident ll D5 14 warhead ballistic missile as a backup to the Trident and future Columbia DC boomers. Spreading strategic forces making them difficult to target.
It is pronounced that way today, yes. However at one time it was indeed pronounced how it’s spelt. Over time it was shortened to the pronunciation we know today.
You forgot SM-2 and ESSM. So Aegis Burke destroyers has 4 layers of air defense. SM-6 -> SM-2 -> ESSM -> CIWS either Phalanx or SeaRAM. If it carries SM-3 it has another layer of air defense against ballistic missiles. Also Mk41 VLS is not a hot launch system only but a housing for either hot or cold launch missile canisters. Lastly, Harpoon follows a sea-skimming trajectory not a parabolic path. And only Flight I/II use Harpoon.
Lol you forgot Nulka a Australian invention as a defense system. USS Mason uses it against Houthis and funny some stories say the missile mysteriously falls in to the sea as a malfunction.
Bit slower please, take it easy, quality over quantity ok? Make a few high quality and accurate videos instead of ramping up lots of videos at short periods
@@Aitellythe frequency and the quality of the videos is excellent. I enjoyed it. Don't bother with such complaints. Please make a video about a submarine hunter and long range maritime surveillance aircraft like the Poseidon P8.
Another inaccuracy, most Arleigh Burke class destroyers don’t have SeaRAM launchers. As far as i can tell, only 4 ships have them. The rest just have the CIWS guns. Another thing, those 3 dishes you have rotating in the animation…they don’t do that. Those are for locking onto targets. They will turn towards a target, and “paint” it for a missile.
Navy guys, a question: Do you collect the expended brass from the 5 inch or just kick it over the side? Reasoning: with the 105mm tanks we used to reprocess the brass for future tank rounds.
Good vid, but be aware the vid mispronounces both "Phalanx" and "Frigate"..... also, noted the range map at 03:46 is badly out of scale, the indicated range being more appropriate for a ballistic missile than a fleet defense missile.
i love how great you portray the ship, 900 school bus's!! and even a mighty ship such as this, is a drop in the ocean compared to some of the WW2 era superheavy battleships, most of which no longer exist
WtF your circle at 3:47 is covering the entire Atlantic ocean, you should serious correct this. At 8:21 your saying 900 school busses, and start dropping them, but only show 30. Do you do ANY Fing proofreading of the visuals your putting on screen? When such basic things are so blatantly wrong I can't even begin to think how error ridded the dialog is on the various military aspects trying to be presented.
Pronunciation on Phalanx, Frigate. Searam is a longer range defense system than the phalanx, not what you imply. Previoustly stated your range circles for the Mark 45 gun is pretty bad.
During WWI and WWII, Destroyer only purpose are "Protect Cruiser and Battleship from Submarine and Air Attack" Modern Destroyer is a "Battleship" that didn't need huge caliber naval gun.
Hey, great video. I know something like this takes a lot of work so thank you. Other than your annunciation on a couple of things, I give you a two thumbs up.
Great video! Being a Destroyer Sailor myself, your depictions are very good. Not fully accurate, but I rather not tell you the corrections because I want my Shipmates to remain safer out to sea. The bad guys are watching and learning, we like to stay a lot of steps ahead.
...Gas TURBINES ..not Diesels Engines....but continue.... sailor here and was raised on/served on DDG'S...in facts "Fighting Fitz" best boat to do it!!!
the propellant is separate from the the projectile? i actually saw the shell casing which contained the propellant ejected on the deck during firing, i know the 155mm aremy howitzer projectile does use propellant loaded behind the projectile yes, but not this 5 inches gun, just like the 105mm has its own shell casing
Good video, but I have a minor nitpick. You confuse weight and displacement. (Many people do…) Your video states that the Arleigh Burke class weighs around 9500 tons. In fact, that’s the ship’s displacement. If memory serves, the vessel’s dead weight is closer to 3000 tons. Excellent animation. Hope to see more.
The actual displacement is the gross weight; the weight of water displaced by the hull of the ship equals the weight of the ship, which is how buoyancy works. That's gross weight (the standard term in loaded displacement), meaning the ship and its contents.. so perhaps you think "weight" should only mean the bare hull, or the ship in sailing condition (with engines, for instance) but with no other equipment installed? 3,000 tons sounds plausible before fitting with everything that makes it a destroyer... what may be called Light Displacement or LDT. The video is describing a functioning destroyer, not an empty cargo ship.
Bow and stem are not necessarily interchangeable. Stem refers to the very front of the vessel whereas bow is more the general area. The part you animated as forecastle should’ve been the bow. Also there’s really no forecastle on a destroyer
I was stationed on one of those for 3 years. They suck. The last thing the designers thought about was E-6 and below crew comfort. E-7 and above had fantastic accommodations. I was on a Spruance class destroyer in the 80s. The crew had 100% better comfort.
Hey dude. Great work . Nice animations. How do you produce these animations so quickly. I want to teach some students using animations but it seems long and time consuming
Both Virgina and the destroyer has active and passive Sonar systems as far as I know. The submarine prephere to use pasive systems more often but both have them.

Being S-band radars gives them excellent range but insufficient resolution to accurately guide semi-active radar-guided missiles (such as SM-2 and ESSM Block 1) in their terminal phase (last few seconds before impacting the target) which requires X-band. This is where SPG-62 radars come into play. When SM-2 or ESSM Block 1 enter their terminal phase, SPG-62 antenna will illuminate their target with a narrow X-band beam giving the missiles highest possible radar resolution. Once target has been destroyed, the SPG-62 antenna may point to another target, but will most certainly not be spinning like a search radar. This is why there are three of them on each Burke and four on each Tico-cruiser.
Good job with the animation and 3d modeling by the way.
The Russian spy watching this video
I really wasted my time in the US huh?
You act like they don’t already know.
@whycantiputmyname The knows more than this video
@@Whycantiputmyname probably they had completed drawings and specifications from CCP
They aren't giving away anything. I commissioned the USS Roosevelt DDG-80. I was a Firecontrolman 1st class. Pretty much everything in the video is very basic info.
Impressive, most impressive. My favorite How it works video was that of the submarine in which you used the Virginia class block V intended version to accommodate additional tomahawk missiles. As previously stated though a single silo could accommodate 7 tomahawks I would nonetheless reserve one of the silos for a Trident ll D5 14 warhead ballistic missile as a backup to the Trident and future Columbia DC boomers. Spreading strategic forces making them difficult to target.
Ok thanks for your feedback.
Will keep that in mind.
9:05 That rudder explanation 🤣 Thank you captain 😁
3:45 that's not 24 kilometres, it's more like several thousand kilometres
Our Animator Got a A little too Excited. Apologies for the Graphics
@@Aitelly I was like, wow that ship can hit any continent 🤣
also, Germany is missing from the map
I was mistaken the earth for little prince's home, asteroid B612
5 thousand and some
Amigo, Forecastle is not pronounced four castle, it's pronounced foke sel.
And Frigate is pronounced frig-it not frig at! 🤣
It is pronounced that way today, yes. However at one time it was indeed pronounced how it’s spelt. Over time it was shortened to the pronunciation we know today.
@@horationelson1840 Well today is today!
I like how when it says the shell can travel 14 miles then shows the entire Atlantic Ocean 😂
You forgot SM-2 and ESSM. So Aegis Burke destroyers has 4 layers of air defense. SM-6 -> SM-2 -> ESSM -> CIWS either Phalanx or SeaRAM. If it carries SM-3 it has another layer of air defense against ballistic missiles. Also Mk41 VLS is not a hot launch system only but a housing for either hot or cold launch missile canisters. Lastly, Harpoon follows a sea-skimming trajectory not a parabolic path. And only Flight I/II use Harpoon.
Lol you forgot Nulka a Australian invention as a defense system.
USS Mason uses it against Houthis and funny some stories say the missile mysteriously falls in to the sea as a malfunction.
10:47 Love how you explained the difference
Bit slower please, take it easy, quality over quantity ok? Make a few high quality and accurate videos instead of ramping up lots of videos at short periods
Why slower? You cannot keep up? The video is already six minutes longer than necessary
Should of stayed in school dood
Noted 🙂
dont bother it was a great video only the 24 km was a bit messy but it was very appreciated still!@@Aitelly
@@Aitellythe frequency and the quality of the videos is excellent. I enjoyed it. Don't bother with such complaints. Please make a video about a submarine hunter and long range maritime surveillance aircraft like the Poseidon P8.
Its impressive how battleships evolved from behemoths full of cannons to high tech streamlined missile carrriers.
It really is. A fight between modern warships is less of a slugging match, and more of a “wizards duel.”
Battleships didn't evolve like that. Battleships were decommissioned. Often turned into Museums.
Another inaccuracy, most Arleigh Burke class destroyers don’t have SeaRAM launchers. As far as i can tell, only 4 ships have them. The rest just have the CIWS guns.
Another thing, those 3 dishes you have rotating in the animation…they don’t do that. Those are for locking onto targets. They will turn towards a target, and “paint” it for a missile.
Thanks!
The guidance section IS the autopilot. The section behind it is the warhead.
The booster is not the sustainer
Mach 3.5 is a speed, not a range
*@**3:44**, LOL! Thats one HELLUVA gun!!*
Bro, I just want to say: NEVER STOP MAKING THESE.
What a great video. The animation brings everything to life.
The Atlantic ocean really is massive. I don't think I could swim 24km.
Navy guys, a question: Do you collect the expended brass from the 5 inch or just kick it over the side? Reasoning: with the 105mm tanks we used to reprocess the brass for future tank rounds.
Push it over the side
We made ash trays out of them in my day. 1977-82
@@curtisophillipsjr378 Same with the Tankers.
@curtisophillipsjr378 we still do today as well. The problem is the hardened metal is really hard on the lathe
@@curtisophillipsjr378same here even today we have two empty 5in brass as ashtrays in our smoke deck
Hi bro...1st comment..❤
Awesome bro
Thanks for sharing this on TH-cam.
I like your videos very much. I watch your videos from Bangladesh
Thank you so much 😀
l'm a bit confused, do electric motors drive the propellors or is there a mechanical link to the gas turbines?
Good vid, but be aware the vid mispronounces both "Phalanx" and "Frigate"..... also, noted the range map at 03:46 is badly out of scale, the indicated range being more appropriate for a ballistic missile than a fleet defense missile.
Noted the Animator got a little bit excited
i love how great you portray the ship, 900 school bus's!! and even a mighty ship such as this, is a drop in the ocean compared to some of the WW2 era superheavy battleships, most of which no longer exist
Yes Agreed 👍🏻
You guys are getting quite good views on this btw. Nicely done
Thanks 👍🏻😊
We love you guys.
Even better videos coming in 2 weeks
beautiful explanation of warship...i love your video bro...keep doing.❤
Thanks 👍🏻 will keep on producing more videos
The most detailed animation of a US aleigh-burke class destroyer.
You are Awesome 👍🏻😎
Huge thank you for including metric units!
WtF your circle at 3:47 is covering the entire Atlantic ocean, you should serious correct this. At 8:21 your saying 900 school busses, and start dropping them, but only show 30. Do you do ANY Fing proofreading of the visuals your putting on screen? When such basic things are so blatantly wrong I can't even begin to think how error ridded the dialog is on the various military aspects trying to be presented.
I love these animations of how things work and happen, keep up the great work!!
Thanks!
new video on the Aircraft Carrier coming soon.
Pronunciation on Phalanx, Frigate. Searam is a longer range defense system than the phalanx, not what you imply. Previoustly stated your range circles for the Mark 45 gun is pretty bad.
Yes agreed 👍🏻
During WWI and WWII, Destroyer only purpose are "Protect Cruiser and Battleship from Submarine and Air Attack"
Modern Destroyer is a "Battleship" that didn't need huge caliber naval gun.
That cab also act as escorts and fleet protection. US Destroyers do be jack of all trades
Hey, great video. I know something like this takes a lot of work so thank you. Other than your annunciation on a couple of things, I give you a two thumbs up.
Man this is great
Thanks Miller 😌
Great video! Being a Destroyer Sailor myself, your depictions are very good. Not fully accurate, but I rather not tell you the corrections because I want my Shipmates to remain safer out to sea. The bad guys are watching and learning, we like to stay a lot of steps ahead.
Lol right I seen the interior depictions and thought well that's completely wrong.
3:40 the biggest “not to scale” I’ve ever seen
...Gas TURBINES ..not Diesels Engines....but continue.... sailor here and was raised on/served on DDG'S...in facts "Fighting Fitz" best boat to do it!!!
24 kilometer radius, seems the world is a village indeed
Apologies our new Animator got a little bit excited on this project
@@Aitelly You keep saying "new animator". Do you not fact check stuff?
Love it, thank you for first class content!!
3:45 lol that exaggerated 24km radius 😮
Apologies from the Animator
3:42 do you guys understand scale? 😅 had no idea Europe was 14 miles away
Excellent summary and discription, thanks.
Wow
I Love this youtube than any channel.
Best Wishes from India 🇮🇳 Karnataka ❤
I love Bangalore one of my friends is from that state. I had a great time down there
Why did you use Arleigh Burke destroyers flight 1, not flight 2A or 3?
Will look into it
Good Animation.Thank You Very Much.
Always Welcome 🙏🏻🙂
Seeing this I couldn’t believe it wow they really shoot that far ain’t no way 😀✨3:40
the propellant is separate from the the projectile? i actually saw the shell casing which contained the propellant ejected on the deck during firing, i know the 155mm aremy howitzer projectile does use propellant loaded behind the projectile yes, but not this 5 inches gun, just like the 105mm has its own shell casing
from 1968-1971 I was a radarmen on USS DD=725 and DD-692 World war 2 destroyers
I've seen this channel before. It was called Animagraffs and it was much, much better.
Good video, but I have a minor nitpick. You confuse weight and displacement. (Many people do…)
Your video states that the Arleigh Burke class weighs around 9500 tons. In fact, that’s the ship’s displacement. If memory serves, the vessel’s dead weight is closer to 3000 tons.
Excellent animation. Hope to see more.
The actual displacement is the gross weight; the weight of water displaced by the hull of the ship equals the weight of the ship, which is how buoyancy works. That's gross weight (the standard term in loaded displacement), meaning the ship and its contents.. so perhaps you think "weight" should only mean the bare hull, or the ship in sailing condition (with engines, for instance) but with no other equipment installed? 3,000 tons sounds plausible before fitting with everything that makes it a destroyer... what may be called Light Displacement or LDT. The video is describing a functioning destroyer, not an empty cargo ship.
What Software did. you sie for the Models. They Look Great and i want to learn how to do them too.
The CIWS fires before the rolling airframe missiles?
Combat decisions occurs in CIC (Combat Information Center) and not the bridge, that's where they drive the ship from... this ship fights from CIC.
Bow and stem are not necessarily interchangeable. Stem refers to the very front of the vessel whereas bow is more the general area. The part you animated as forecastle should’ve been the bow. Also there’s really no forecastle on a destroyer
Thanks for your feedback
Good video, greetings from Colombia.
No diesel generators. I've built the intakes for the generators on about 20 DDG's built at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula Mississippi.
3:43 why does this confuse me? Is really 50kilometers coast to coast?
Our New Animator got a little over excited
Did you create the voice you used in this video? Or are you taking the voice used in the video from a voice artist? please answers me🙏🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I love Arleigh Burke Destroyers and amazing video ❤❤❤
I am biggest fan of this channel . I watch it all the time .Don't stop. We are waiting new videos
I am watching from uzbekistan 🫡🇺🇿
I was stationed on one of those for 3 years. They suck. The last thing the designers thought about was E-6 and below crew comfort. E-7 and above had fantastic accommodations. I was on a Spruance class destroyer in the 80s. The crew had 100% better comfort.
Wow, our artillery range has expanded a lot...and the Atlantic shrunk. 3:44
Good job now I can't stop. Let's delve in, sounded like let's tell them. Sus-tainer, mak 3.5, fuh-laynks... Please learn to pronounce these things.
What is the program 3D name doyou use to make this video
AWESOME VIDEO MAN!
It says that it ejects the spent casing out through the side of the gun when it shows the full projectile being ejected over the top of the barrel.
Hey dude. Great work . Nice animations. How do you produce these animations so quickly. I want to teach some students using animations but it seems long and time consuming
Man the Collosal Titan was that small...RIP Rumbling in front of Modern world 👏🏻
Does this ship has anti missiles flares similar to modern warship game?
Thank You USA Navy!
@03:40 ^_^ That graphic is a weeeee bit out of scale. Apparently the 24 km is half the Atlantic Ocean which it isn't.
Please do a video on INDIAN Destroyers....❤❤❤😊😊😊...other than that love 💕 your videos..😊😊❤❤
Both Virgina and the destroyer has active and passive Sonar systems as far as I know. The submarine prephere to use pasive systems more often but both have them.
3:45 why is Germany not there?
🤔
@@AitellyI'm genuinely worried now... where did Germany go?
Pls put a video that how Ticonderoga class cruiser launch torpedos .😂😂
always great animation !!
Great
You have a new subscriber.
Is towed passive sonar no longer used by US destroyers?
This DESTROYER you talking about is a set of pixels from this very game. 😁😁😁
Love your videos.
Can you please make one like this for aircraft carriers too like the Nimitz Class of Gerald Ford? I really wanna see how does those giants work
Yes coming in March.
Tor air defense missile animation 😘😘😘
@@Aitelly Thank you!
Thank you for this amazing video
