[@davec3400]

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.

[@Aitelly]

Noted

[@davidsyes5970]

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.

[@samiel992]

Was going to state this then saw this comment bravo

[@thejdgoodwin]

As a former OS my feelings were hurt that they left out CIC.

[@johnblackhead2384]

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.

Add the metric system, please

[@dundonrl]

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.

[@ToddRainer-j4d]

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?

[@dundonrl]

@@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.

[@ToddRainer-j4d]

@@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.

[@davidsyes5970]

@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.

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

[@Aitelly]

Thanks for your feedback and your Service 👍🏻

[@davidh4374]

What do you do now? What learning resources would you recommend for learning more about MK 45 from the operator's perspective?

[@davidsyes5970]

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)!

[@NLozar22]

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.

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.

[@PBScourge]

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.

[@brianb-p6586]

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.

[@joechang8696]

SeaRAM would be used before CIWS, as it has longer range. Edit: I am not sure if this is still the case. with VLS, the flight profile used to fly straight up to 100,000 ft, then towards target, picking up radar guidance only in the final phase. This was the most efficient profile? giving much better range than early Std, which flew toward target with radar all the way? what this would have meant was it is not good for missiles already close, hence Sea RAM?

[@johnstudd4245]

I think the sea ram fills the niche in coverage between the long range modernized standard and the relatively short ranged phalanx. Makes me think of the coverage layer of WW2. The 5 inchers with the proximity fuse, then the the 40mm bofors for moderate and close range, and the the 20mm for last ditch close range.

[@robertmosher7418]

Its a good guess on the different spaces inside the ship. The dimensions are incorrect. And the Mark 45 gun is just about done. The rounds are so powerful that it is cost prohibitive to shoot. They can't afford to fire such a powerful round or they would need to continually replace the barrel because they wear out rather quickly and reducing the charge or replace the gun with a less powerful one would only reduce the ability to provide land forces the accurate indirect fire support that it was designed for and after the ammunition has been completely depleated the Navy plans on replacing the gun with another missle firing position on the ship. Or so I was told by a Navy vet who was recently honorably discharged from one of them. It is open source information and I learned his info when I commented that they could no longer find anyone to produce the ammunition because of the cost. I got that backwards as it is the gun not the ammo that made that created the issue.

Why did you use Arleigh Burke destroyers flight 1, not flight 2A or 3?

The Atlantic Ocean is 26 miles from NY to London. That's why the marathon was invented. The British troops ran home after the 3rd Revolutionary War in 1989. During this time they were facing heavy bombardment from the USS Olympic. That's why we also have the Olympics.

Ok 👌🏻 thanks for your feedback

There are no diesel engines on a Burke class Destroyer. How did you miss that, they have been at sea since 1990.

[@Aitelly]

It's for the battery not for for the propeller

[@davidsyes5970]

There are no diesel generators aboard the DDG-51 class ships - PERIOD. Installation of diesels certainly was contemplated, but the Navy kept as much of the Speuance and Ticonderoga as possible and crammed it all into the fat, short, sticky, fuel-guzzling "revolutionary hull form" hull. If you try casually, tou could say the 51 is kind of like a giant PT-109, scaled up. If into conspiracy theories, drift into the territory of " Gee, I wonder how much GE lobbied the Navy and Senators to ditch diesel..." Loll... Only recently did Rolls-Royce gain some traction, since ~ 1978. There never have been. Any batteries aboardship ( in the Ticos and Burkes) will be what we called UPSES, as in UPS plural, as in uninterruptible power supply. Those are racks, probably close to IT room 1RU, bit on on steroids fir MilSpec, weight, and fire reasons. Those batteries don't propel the ship. They supply the absolutely core vital control and data transfer systems when the ship loses all three of the Gas Turbine Generator Sets (GTGs or GTGS's.) They keep targeting data in RAM. (On my first ship, the Flint (AE-32), steam-propelled, we'd sometimes lose ALL our diesel power. It took over 15-30 minutes to manually regenerate target tracks data. IIRC the FFG-19 was faster, at mabye 5-8 minutes regenerating target data when we fully "dropped the load".) Those batteries (51, 47, 963, 993 classes) are/were periodically topped up or reconditioned vai a mix of conditioning gear, switchboards, transformers, and more, fed by gas turbine engines dedicated as power sources, since the initial Burkes, and, IIUC, even Flight 3 don't derive electrical power from the propulsion engines (that last bit I need to re-research). IIUC, they use Rolls Royce MT-30s for electrical power. Again, I may be wrong about that bit. The AWD has diesels, it seems, but they are small, pretty much the size format or form factor British use. That's a legacy of the UK during WW2 having tiny railroad tunnels via which it shipped diesels across great distance to the shipyards. They apparently kept that small footprint and like it. The USN has a propensity to sometimes act like Texas, in that bigger is better, more power density per device is better than smaller, more nomerous, distributed power generators. Some of it is design philosophy. Some of it is that industry can end up charging more just because if you build that into your design, it's hard to remove it without politicians (or their paid-off former officers-turned-consultants sometimes working against the Navy's real or political interests) meddling to serve their constituents who need/covet that money. Equipment needs, counts, and resiliency, and survivability will all determine the size or load capacity of a ship's gensets. Diesels are HEAVY, depending on how many megawatts you need, how MilSpec they need to be, and whether or not they're "life-of-ship" (meaning not expected to be removed by cutting or hacking the device or the ship to get it out or to replace it) components. But, who told you the DDG-51 has diesels? They pulled your leg, or legs, or you waded into disinformation or bad information. As for the source information about the British tunnels limiting the installed power per generator, you may be able to find the following: "A Comparative Study of US and UK Frigate Design" Larrie D. Ferriero, Department of the Navy, NAVSEA, Washington, DC, and Mark H. Stonehouse, Sea Systems Controllerate, UK Ministry of Defence, London Their paper was published in 1991, in SNAME Transactions, Vol. 99, 1991, pp. 147-175. That's 29 sheets, front and back, a trade industry journal allocated to that pair of writers who acted as mock designers of each other's navy to make for their own navy a ship concept approach borrowing concepts and rules from the other. It's a fascinating and extremely informative paper. Likewise, innumerable examples exist in the real world, and far too many examples exist for anyone undertaking a hobbyist naval ship presentation to double-down on things the industry or any real sea service sailor can readily (if inclined) correct, refute, or elucidate upon. If you're able to, you may want to raise funds to obtain a subscription to US Naval Institute Proceedings. It's not cheap. It's available internationally. I've been reading the publication since ~1975, when I was only 10, and I had my own subscription by age~17, before I joined the USN. If you live in or near a maritime city you might convince your librarian to obtan a subscription to put on the shelf. Or, visit a nearby shipyard. If you can visit Japan, and if this is still open (I visited it inn2005, adter visiting a Mitsubishi office in Tokyo), go to Funenokagakukan. If you can visit Busan, South Korea, to to the National Maritime Museum. It has a huge maritime display as well as a maritime library chock full of sruff about shipping and ship design. If you can get to Seoul, and then to Yongsan, visit the Korea War Memorial. You see there a 20-foot model of the King Sejong The Great. I saw those three facilities in 2012 and 2016. You won't be disappointed. I visited each of those four attractions at least 4 or 5 times. Lamentably, I in 2012 didn't get beyond Shanghai to the museum as it seemed too far from where I was living. I should have true harder, since I was in Shanghai for more than 14 days. To my surprise, as my ferry departed Quingdao to return to Korea, I realized my hotel was right next to a major submarine base. Over 20 diesel attack subs were there. I don't know if I'm embarrassed or lucky that I didn't know, since I was in Quingdao 1.5 days before going to Shanghai, and ~3 days before leaving back to Korea. Oh well. Something I at age 14 (1979) did that torqued my would-be recruiter (a submariner, aka "bubblehead") is that I drew on one of my fictional teardrop-shaped subs, a 7-bladed propeller. This was a huge jump over my comical props they'd (other recruiting duty sailors in the office) seen but said nothing of. He was livid. He demanded to know how I came up with that. He bellowed that that was "Top Secret US Navy Information!!" He was was fuming. When he calmed down, I told him I saw it (the concept) on the cover of Seapower or USNIP magazine that arrived in my subscription (note: 1978/1979), in a picture of a Japanese diesel boat, in a drydock. Its prop was shrouded, but, I clearly could discern there were 7 blades but counting the hidden blade protrusions and estimated what was in the gaps on the lower side. Then, when my mom's boyfriend tossed away a Coors beer can, I cut it open, made a series of props with blade counts of 1-9, shaped them based on kit models (twist and skew), punched center holes, put them on my Bic ball point pen, and gently and forcibly blew down onto each one several times. I still have those blades today. The 7-bladed one knicked my face, almost cutting my eye. I ecstatically screamed to myself "THAT'S GONNA BE MY PROPELLER", then finished drawing my sub's control room, messing, reactor, torpedo room, generator room, and more based on recruiting pamphlets and any information about the Thresher, Scorpion, Nautilus, Tulline, Permit, and more that was sitting in the public library. Then, after school, haunted the recruiting office as Indid 1 or 2x a week, and saw my stunned recruiter flip out and reveal more than he should have. But, neither he nor the Navy ever took my drawings. Nor did anyone in my chain of command of either of my two ships, nor at any of my shore duty stations while in various schools twice at San Diego. I'm not an engineer, but I read and read a LOT. I only consume publicly available info, meaning I don't pay or sicial engineer or hack my way into information people want kept private. There's so much info "out there floating in the air", as in the movie "Heat", when De Niro asked a hacker/thief how he obtained the wiring diagram of a bank vault. "That sh*& is out there... It just floats in the air..." (Of course, on unsecured routers and antennas...) The Navy is generous. If you're in the US or not in a banned region, or not behind a dodgy/shady network connection, and aren't playing stupid games to win stupid prizes, you can get alllll ssssorts of free, educational, public, sanitized, "unlimited distribution authorized" facts, concepts, and more. Information from sources is your friend. Just use unclassified, unrestricted, trade industry or Navy- or university- released, or manufacturer-provided brochures or marketing material.

@@davidsyes5970 just a couple of minutes of your time to read my comment please. I was a part of the RD team that machined the high speed reduction gearing for the ARLEIH BURKE class destroyers. GE put a lot into that program and expected to create a completely new division when production started but it never happened. The complete package took up less space than the diesel package was my understanding. We are talking fuel housing, gas turbine and reduction gearing and everything that went along with it. I don't know if that was correct but I was lead to believe it completely changed the engine room. I machined the main component of the high speed reduction gearing on every one of the units provided for all test. I always wanted to see one installed on a U.S. Navy ship and will try to see one. My comment is more to do with what politicians did. GE had eliminated 2 division's in Lynn MASS at the time of developing this. They were expecting to become leaders in this combined system that the government allowed them to develop. It was gas turbine and reduction gearing made for each other. GE upon the U.S. Navy excepting the units after all tests was to receive the contract to machine 3 ship sets a year for the first 5yrs and then bids would be excepted. The 7 axis cnc horz boring mill I ran was the largest in the U.S. at the time and other equipment was to follow. This machine had the foundation of 6 or 8 large pillars going over 100 feet deep to the solid rock of the crust of earth. In 1980 President Ronald Reagan was elected and upon these units passing and going to start to be made in Lynn the process changed completely. Instead of 3 ship sets a year GE would get 1 ship set a year and Westinghouse would get 1 ship set a year and the 3rd ship set would be given to the 1 that delivered at lowest cost. I have no idea about politics but know this was never expected and was a surprise. This was also the same time frame where manufacturing was going off shore in the whole industry. Westinghouse was probably facing the same situation where union jobs were leaving and factories were closing. I knew that the way GE machined this part another shop could machine it quicker using CNC machining. My old building GE Gear Plant is now a vacant lot along with many other spaces in GE Lynn. When I was there we had over 15,000 union jobs plus management. Also many smaller machine shops in the city and other cities. Many subcontractors of all the different trades and businesses that supplied tools and hardware. Now GE has 3,500 and just a couple of small shops and luckily when I left i found a better job in another field

[@mikethompson2650]

Too bad you didn't cover the various Electronic countermeasures or decoys such a ship can carry. It also carries a variable depth towed array sonar for submarine detection. Even lasers are being added for deception purposes. The Burke class is a hell of a ship.
