Top 10 Destroyers In The World 2024 | Ultimate Ranking

[@felixsu375]

The Type 055 is the most heavily armed ship in the world because the VLS launch cells are so large that 4 medium range anti-air missiles can be crammed into one cell. This allows the Type 055 to carry more missiles of all types than any other ship in the world today.

All I'm doing is just providing reasonable analysis on the military situation in the Western Pacific from an Army vet. It shocks me how much my fellow Americans hate facts. It's not as if if everyone pretends the Emperor is wearing cloths, he is suddenly going to have cloths on. If the Emperor is naked then he is naked. What is the point of lying to yourself?

[@jensensean7118]

90% correct. However, the anti-air and ant--ballistic missiles of the US are still more diverse in types and more efficient and proven in action. Chinese and Russian missiles suffer from using metal casing and shells rather than composite materials, so they are quite bulky and heavy. These will change in time, I hope. But much lower costs and higher volume of production in CHina may be a more important factor.

So glad you didn’t have the Zumwalt listed, falling for the hype of it, haha.

Also the Type 055 has more missiles dues to the size of the cells allowing 4 medium range anti-air missiles per cell. If they go up against each other, the Type 055 would win hands down.

Since the first version of HQ9, the active radar seeker has been used. With AESA, it can obtain much more fire channels than the S300 (Rif) air defense system that uses semi-active radar guidance. Not to mention the naval version HHQ9B used by the 055. In other words, the multi-target engagement capability of the 055 is far stronger than the most advanced warships of the Russian Navy. 055 and Moskva are products of two eras. In addition, 055 is equipped with one of the most advanced shipboard dual-band radars in the world, and her target detection ability is far stronger than that of the sunk Moskva. The 055 also perfectly solves the problem of electromagnetic compatibility, adopts an integrated radio frequency system, and is equipped with a very beautiful stealth mast. She is probably the best warship in the world with integrated electromagnetic systems. This is the invisible part and the most advanced part of 055, unfortunately it is not mentioned in the video. In fact, 16years ago, the Chinese Navy built two destroyers equipped with the Rif air defense system (S300 naval version) purchased from Russia: Type051C, 115 Shenyang and 116 Shijiazhuang, which are deployed in the North Sea Fleet, they are barely seen in China's public reports, proving that they are considered a backward second-line destroyer in the PLAN.

I agree with the top 3 rankings, but I'm not sure if Japanese Maya or Atago is better than the newest type 52Ds, with the latest Chinese missiles and AESA radars. I think Chinese anti ship missiles are better, Japan is still using sea sparrows and type 17/90 anti ship missiles. Most likely japan and hsa won't be able to keep up with Chinese sensors or missile developments(quality) and quantity of missions and ships. That's not even mentionidng the number of ships in class, China has like 25 type 52D and 8-16 type 55, while Japan has like 2 atago and 2 maya. Not even mentioning the huge numbers of other ships and submarines. But other than that which is a minor thing and which I could very well be incorrect about, the rankings were decent. Oh yeah, I also do jot trust Indias domestic equipment and their reporting on it whatsoever. They always have problems, always lie and make excuses, so I don't trust them. It's standard for them to over promise, go over budget, years past deadline, and in the end the project is cancelled or they produce a fsr inferior outcome than what they've been showing off and claiming they will have.

[@EurasiaNaval]

It's a fair question. The rankings are always subjective. My view on the Maya and Atago is based on their improved AEGIS baseline 9C, a much larger number of VLS cells than the 052D, a very capable ASW helo in the Seahawk, and in the future the SM-6 induction for the Maya.

Comparison videos always draw a lot of attention. It will be interesting reading the comments. While it would have added work, you might have given a 1-10 score for each vessel across the 3 domains of anti-air/surface/sub-surface. Some are very strong in one area, while others might be quite good in all 3. The later Burkes and derivatives (Japan & S.Korea) and the Type 055 are well-rounded in all domains, while the Indian DDGs seem to put proportionately more emphasis on sub-surface warfare.

[@abyyy490]

The indian systems sucks, it's not stealth but an abomination on stealth designs, just look at the clutter that on top & over, clearly shows poor post management in designing and equipment positioning, secondly most of the crucial components are imported from overseas like from propulsion to the radar and communication, the only Indian in that thing is brahmos but thats too uses Russian components like its engine. Even it's design is somewhat or more similar to French Horizon class destroyers. Well can't put all blame on the shipbuilders since the R&D gets peanuts from the corrupt leadership at the department of defense.... And I'm from India, so yeah..heh

[@abyyy490]

And the most interesting thing is the interoperability between this ship, the P8 Neptune asw plane and the russian kilo class submarine that india uses sucks, because the use of different comms in use in different vessels. Now they're somehow trying to iron out this issue between P8 Neptune and vishakapatnam by incorporating local made in india systems but again the submarine is being left out and only Navy surface ships uses local comms while both airforce and army uses Israeli and russian systems, which again creates hurdle in combined arms synergy.

[@theredbar-cross8515]

I think the very fact that the higher end DDGs are good against all target types is what makes them good in the first place. Anti-air or missile defense is an important role, but so is anti-ship. The fact that the US lacks a modern supersonic anti-ship missile is kinda sad. The Harpoon II is just not a competitive missile in this decade.

[@antaresmc4407]

To explain myself, they are first of all two kinds of weapons: Hypersonic Glide Vehicles and Hypersonic Cruise Missiles: HGV are basically BM that fly low-er- (upper atmo instead of above low orbit) and have lift, thus are hard-er- to see and .-more- maneouverable than the ballistic counterparts; which given they are about as agile and subtle as a brick with a rocket engine, it doesnt mean that much in absolute terms... The HGV is just a ballistic missile warhead that's better across the board but nothing new from a strategic point of view... It does the same job of going big, high and fast, but better (more (not very!) stealthy and maneouverable). By the way, these are the ones which suffer from plasma sheathing, and it's not that big of a deal given that ballistic missiles with terminally guided warheads do exist... HCM are, as the name says, cruise missiles that just go fast. As they go very fast (tho not as fast as HGV or BM), they cant turn as tightly as a slow CM and they must go at relatively high altitude (around the stratosphere) not to heat too much their air breathing engines. Therefore, they bridge the gap between the lightning fast ballistic missiles and the agile, stealthy and flexible cruise missiles, not better than either in their own category. That middle ground of speed and flexibility does open new tactical oportunities, for example time sensitive targets that cant wait an hour for a normal cruise missile and need a bit more subtlety than a ballistic one. HCM wont replace either big and fast BM or slow and nimble CM, but they're to be used alongside them as a weapon to fill that specific niche in the awkward middle between the two.

I rank the _Arleigh Burke_ class above the _Sejong the Great_ class. I feel most people rank them the contrary. I don't blame them; on paper, it does seem that with 128 VLS cells vs. 96 cells, it's a foregone conclusion to pick the STG. But that's just hardware. Looking past that, you find out the STG class uses only Aegis Baseline 7. This leaves the class unable to perform Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD)-the ability to conduct both anti-air warfare (AAW) and Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) simultaneously. The latest _Burke_s on the other hand are equipped with Aegis BMD 5.1 Baseline 9 out of the factory. KDX III Batch II will rectify this by using Aegis Baseline 9, but at the cost of having only 88 VLS cells-yep, from 128 to 88, a 31% decrease. This is the importance of software. ROK is willing to trade 31% of the VLS depth for Aegis IAMD capability. And this alone makes the AB Flight IIA the better choice with 96 cells. Flight III _Burke_s with AN/SPY-6(V)1 and Baseline 10 is overkill competition for the STG class. You can get into even more technical stuff by for example comparing the EW capabilities. Not much is known about the STG's LIG Nex1 SLQ-200K Sonata EW suite, but it's almost certainly not on par with the US's Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP), which is procuring the SLQ-32(V)6 and (V)7. I found it odd the disparity in ranking between the Horizon class and the Type 45 class. They're actually similar ships as they were the result of the Common New Generation Frigate program between France, Italy, and the UK (UK withdrew to make their own Type 45). I might rank Horizon above the Type 45 because the Type 45 is purely an AAW destroyer whereas the Horizon class is multirole. The British like to argue their Type 45 is better than the _Arleigh Burke_ class. You have to admit the Type 45 is probably the best AAW destroyer class in the world, but the reality is that's the only thing it can do. And only 48 cells isn't great. The Type 055 class is looking very very nice on paper. Great VLS count, signature reduction, AESA radar, and a killer sex appeal. Looking at the armament, there's some points of concern. It uses the HHQ-9 SAM, definitely an older weapon. It's undeniably inferior to the American Standard Missile family or the Franco-Italian Aster family. Sub Brief just did a video where he says the HHQ-9 can't even engage sea-skimming anti-ship missiles. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYvJdoewe6qkfJI) Now I'm doubtful to believe that, but it definitely struggles to engage sea-skimmers. This means the ancient American Harpoon could _theoretically_ take out the Type 055. Actually, the S-300 which the HHQ-9 is based on struggles against sea-skimmers-demonstrated by a certain ship recently converted to submarine duty. It's possible the Chinese have updated the missile's software to counter the decades-old Harpoon. Meanwhile, the US has the RIM-162 ESSM, quad-packable and purely designed to kill supersonic sea-skimmers like the YJ-18 in its terminal phase. Whatever counterpart of Aegis the Chinese have-"Chinese Aegis"-definitely has promise, but as of right now the Aegis Combat System is still second to none, developed from decades of real experience dating back to the early Cold War. We're not sure if China even has equivalent capability to Aegis IAMD. They need time to develop the experience needed to get on par. So, with armament and sensors and processing systems galore in mind, here's my subjective (and probably highly controversial) ranking (some classes from same country omitted): 10. _Udaloy_-class destroyer - Udaloy II variant (gotta get the Russians in here somehow) 9. _Visakhapatnam_-class destroyer 8. _Hobart_-class destroyer 7. Type 052D destroyer - 052DL variant 6. _Sejong the Great_-class destroyer - Batch II variant 5. Type 45 destroyer 4. Horizon-class destroyer 3. _Maya_-class destroyer 2. Type 055 destroyer 1. _Arleigh Burke_-class destroyer - Flight III variant Regarding why I put the _Burke_ above the Type 055, remember this is based on the current state as of 2022-2023. Weapons and sensors and processing systems aside, the Type 055 is obviously better. But a warship is more than the hull and superstructure. Until China matures their systems, the American class of tin cans is my #1. (if you made it this far then thanks for reading an armchair analyst's two cents)

In terms of radar, Burke Flight II and Flight III with SPY-6 is 1st, while Type 055's Type 346B radar and European SMART-L radar tied at 2nd, Type 052D's Type 346A and SPY-1 for 3rd. In terms of offensive weapons, Type 055 at 1st IF it is equipped with YJ-21 while Burke at 2nd, Maya at 3rd followed by Sehjong at 4th.

[@zebraman1437]

regarding Sejong, Long story short, something about the design's specifications have always seemed off to me, and finding the original Flight III Burke study cemented those doubts. The 128-cell Burke study ballparked the design's standard displacement at 8957 tons. That concept was 550ft long overall, which is 5.5ft more than KDX-III, and the flush deck definitely adds to its volume (and thus displacement), but it's also 10.25ft narrower than KDX-III. Given the ship should be larger than the 128-cell Burke (the wider hull will mean more deck area and hull volume), Sejong the Great should not be some 1307 tons lighter than the former if all else about the designs were the same. Which, of course, leads to the conclusion that all else between KDX-III and the 128-cell Burke is not the same. KDX-III uses the same radar, propulsion plant, most of the same weapons (Sejong has more), and has the same aviation facilities as the 128-cell Burke, so those are mostly out. Technological advances from 1989 to the late 2000s would cause savings in weight for these systems, yes, but with these key items all being the same or better on Sejong that the Burke study, it’s likely this was leveraged to make the former more capable rather than lighter. The displacement gap is not likely down to consumables (fuel, food, ammo, etc.) capacity either, as comparing the loaded displacements yields a fairly similar 1293 ton difference. The Korean ship does have a much lower complement of 300 vs. 363 (the study says 393, but that includes a growth margin), but I've never known accommodations 63 people to cost that much additional weight. If anything, trends of automation tend to show the opposite: a higher level of automation adds weight but saves space, while more crew requires greater space but reduces weight (at least until the larger crew necessitates additional shared facilities like bathrooms and mess halls). All that process of elimination really leaves only one candidate the Koreans are possibly cutting corners on: survivability. Redundant systems, watertight bulkheads, systems separation, shock isolation measures, and deliberately-inefficient system design to minimize single points of failure (among other measures) all add weight. Applied across the length of a 510ft ship, that becomes a lot of extra weight compared to civilian construction standards. Still, quantifying how much worse 1300 tons’ less of subdivision is for Sejong the Great's survivability is can't be done without a detailed set of blueprints. TL;DR The Koreans are likely skimping on survivability, which is why they can shove so many weapons on KDX-III for relatively low displacement. Building a Sejong the Great equivalent ship to USN standards would result in a large, 4-figure displacement increase over Arleigh Burke, likely to about 12000-13000 tons loaded

[@qiyuxuan9437]

Could be, not sure about Korea, but Japan does build their destroyer hulls using civilian standard. Those ships are not meant to take much damage, ideally they should intercept or jam incomming missiles, and if they failed to do that, its pretty much game over.

[@zebraman1437]

​@@qiyuxuan9437 the only japanese ships that used civilian standard hull are the Osumi class landing ships. But then those ships should only be used after you are sure the enemy is wiped out so you can sail out and more freely move about and so i guess there isn't that much of a worry. It is just a glorified ferry. The Koreans are known to packing so much more weapon into such a smaller space compared to the Americans Japanese or even the Chinese. I mean have you seen the latest KSS-3 submarine interior shot that was recently published? There is literally tennis balls placed on the ends of the torpedo clamp screws so the guy sleeping in the birth directly under it doesn't hit his head when it is open and in the down position or when it is being then loaded onto a torpedo tube. They have such a little space (because they allocated those to the ballistic missile in such a small submarine) that they don't have the usual birthing compartment so they have to resort to use tight cramped spaces like that for birthing. I won't want to be a submariner in Korean Navy, can tell you that much.

@@dabo5078 Role yes, but size also. The escort role has always been done by cruiser, ships between 6-12 thousand tonnes.
