How the USS Carney Projects Power in the Red Sea | WSJ Equipped

The USS Carney, a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer, was sent to the Red Sea along with other U.S. destroyers to deter the Houthis and other groups from getting involved in the Israel-Hamas War. For the past six months, Iranian-backed militia groups held off from launching attacks against American troops in Iraq and Syria. But attacks have suddenly resumed as the conflict in Gaza escalates.
WSJ explains how the USS Carney is warding off missile and drone attacks on Israel and American troops.

[@jBKht931]

As a submariner I have always wondered how long does it take to do a combat reload on both CIWS systems. Seems like with the influx of drones like the Iranian drones being used in Ukraine. It seems the small boats Iran uses could each deploy with 2 dozen or more on board. So a combat reload would be desired.

[@salimgasmi1871]

[@brandonochs1372]

15-30 mins usually at least for the phalanx, depends on how well trained the gun crew are at reloading it, and I also believe older Model cwis's take closer to 30mins. One of my old HS friends is actually onboard one of the Ticonderoga class cruisers and that's his job, or at least one of them

Sadly, all vertical launch missile reloads can't be done at all at sea. Destroyer has to rotate out with another destroyer just to return to base for reloading missile box modules. Only the CWIS RAMs and 5 inch gun can be reloaded at sea

Plus laser systems have evolved to the point they can start being deployed on Burke class destroyers to easily intercept hypersonic missiles targeting a fleet. Also what a lot of people seem to fail to realize is that naval warfare is more complicated than they think. It's a lot more than just "lol just shoot a fast missile at them lol" and win like Chinese propagandist would have you believe. The United States has invested tens of millions into anti-satellite technology for this reason. You cannot kill a carrier if you don't know where it is, and you certainly can't maintain a course and lock without that kill chain. The United States is the global leader in satellite warfare by a landslide. As long as they maintain that astronomical advantage, hypersonic missiles are next to useless against carrier strike groups.

there isnt much anything break through that what is mostly seen. its boils down to how effective dose it work. a lot of these system doesnt come out perfect. over the years it improved and being better. now they can safely say it works. even if it works good, you dont want to tell your foe how well it works. you want them to guess. U.S will show force when need to. sometime they downplay it to let the foe think its not as good as it seem to test how much they push it. they used sm-2 to shoot down a drone. think about it.. thats like throwing million dollar away to take down a paper airplane. thats a show of force. also its israel. U.S keep a close tie with israel for geographic strategies. giving if it were other countries, U.S would probably track it without shooting it down. donald trump show an image from satellite when they scout a target. the image was very clear. you can see wheels on a car or door of a cabinet. being president he show classified image that show the cutting edge technology to the world. thats nothing new they had that tech prob early 80's. the EU used ground base radar to track a satellite with very clear image of an object. you can actually see the satellite spinning in space. dont expect UFO technologies or robot as a secret tech. it really goes down to how well it works. as you can see russia system although very good - still not as good as you think it is.

@@jimfrazier8611 Phalanx is a modular "bolt-on" system that is self contained. As such, there are limitations to amount of ammunition that it can carry.

Therefore 15 seconds of ammunition means it has enough to engage several missiles before its magazine is depleted.

@@Rob_F8F I'm familiar with the system. When they first tested it in auto, it engaged a passing seagull, and not much of it hit the water. It's a great system when it has enough ammo, but it's a major liability when the magazine runs dry after chewing up the first salvo of incoming vampires. It'll be interesting to see if the electronics can manage to put a 20mm DU slug in the path of those new hypersonic Kinzal missiles, but I'll leave that to the skimmer community to field-test.

[@Rob_F8F]

@@jimfrazier8611 I take your point. I don't pretend to have any special knowledge about the Phalanx or the Kinzhal. I'm just going through the publicly available information. The latest Phalanx model is Block 1B andq has a 4,500 rounds/minute rate and a magazine drum of 1,550 rounds. That equals 20.67 seconds of firing time. The maximum range is 5,500 meters. A hypersonic missile travels at a minimum of Mach 5. That equates to 1,715 meters/second. If a Phalanx begins fire at maximum range and continues all the way back to the ship, it has 3.2 seconds against a Mach 5 missile. At that rate, a Phalanx can engage 6.45 times before running dry. The question for which there is no public answer is: how many hypersonics does it take to swamp a carrier strike group's electronic warfare, multiple Aegis systems shooting 100s of SM-2s, 3s, 6s, and ESSMs to get 7-8 missiles into Phalanx range?

The fundamental problem with defending against missiles .Missiles are unmanned and relatively cheap , while destroyers are very costly and full of people. Fire a barrage of of missiles, and eventually one will likely get through, with severe consequences. The US Navy needs to seriously ramp up its unmanned systems projects. A destroyer accompanied by a herd of powerful unmanned craft would totally change the calculus.

That is right, or you mix dud missiles and actual aimed missiles at the same time. Needs no explanation that reloading the system is far from quick. Video is a typical puff piece for overpriced MIC weapon system. The SM-2 cost 2 million dollars vs no doubt cheapo houthi missiles.

[@timtrewyn453]

Adversaries, like the US, perform SIGINT missions to examine US systems. They know almost whatever the US Navy lets them see in operation. They just can't afford it in the volume we can, and they're usually behind us in the details. An AEGIS processor can have "gears" of speed and resolution that they have never seen before because the Navy never shifts into them where they might be examined. Cards to play. Secret sauce ready to go.

Good ship - the latest burke , the hobart class ( AUS) that uses hybrid AUS/USA tech and the UK darling class are 3 of the best Destroyers in the world) Korea and Japan have copies of the burke, burke has the most firepower and is very fast, Hobart has the better electronic warfare and decoy system and a bigger range radar and the darling has a really good radar that can also fire anti space missles but it has very limited sub and anti ship defence. The US cant make the burke any better now they need a new class of ship , there new frigate can do most of its roles but not all at a cheaper price

​@@silentwatcher14551. Russian weapons systems may only have a 70% hit rate, US weapons systems can round up to 100%. To be fair, it's not up to you whether or not you get hit by a US weapon system. ROE and the kindness of the captain's heart are the only two things that may save you from a meeting with St Peter. There are no "escape artists" when it comes to avoiding the US Navy.

@@lonpfrb I can appreciate the thinking behind what you describe. However, I still think it's better to keep potential enemies in the dark about military capabilities. Keeping them guessing and in doubt about capabilities I believe is just as good of a deterrent and keeps potential enemies in the dark about our capabilities. It's better for defense purposes to keep others guessing. But these videos given them detailed information about what we're doing or even ideas we have that others may never have thought of. So I still think is a stupid mistake. Look at the Manhattan Project, did they advertise what the US was doing? All the US has to do is inform potential enemies the US has the capability to counter anything they may come up with without giving them any details. I think American leaders are naive and stupid.
