This is what would happen if the USS Zumwalt fought a Russian battlecruiser

Ғылым және технология

The United States Navy commissioned its newest destroyer, USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000), last year. It’s had a hiccup or two, but make no mistake, this is a very modern naval warship. It has tons of firepower, including two 155mm guns, 20 four-cell Mk 57 vertical-launch systems, and two 30mm guns. But how would it fare against the best surface combatant in the Russian Navy, the Pyotr Velikiy, the last of four Kirov-class battlecruisers?

    Battleships are shit. A quiet nuclear submarine can sink an entire carrier group, and Russia has some extremely good submarines. If a German diesel electric can sneak past U.S. ASW-Ships and get into position to fire onto an aircraft carrier (which it did during a wargame), a couple of Russian subs are gonna fuck any american boat up.

    No. Tumblehome designs have been around for a hundred years.....there are reasons you don't use it is warships. There is no way on this design to eliminate the electronic interference between certain systems...you can use one or the other. Other ships in service around the world suffer this problem too. It comes from a cramped design. You can not fix having the VLS system mounted on the sides....where water can get right at them along with any kind of say collision damage. The list can go on but you get the picture. I might point out that the class is CANCELLED. Burke production is being extended as they can at least sail when the weathers bad.

    The Russian tend to keep their surface fleets close to home for ton of different reasons so a Zumwalt class would have to go to the battle cruiser which would give it a huge disadvantage. They would never be in open water by themselves so to pit one against the other in a heads up battle is dump. Both are warship, both capable of sinking one another. Its not about one platform over the other, it is more about how well each platform function in the greater whole of each navy.

    Just for the record the Zumwalts stealth capability gives it a radar cross section approximately equal to a ocean going fishing vessel and thus is intended to allow thix ship to blend into the existing battle group, not disappear. The Zumwalts posseses some very advanced technologies that almost certainly will be incorporated into future warship desighn, however this class of vessel does not have a clear mission and is prohibitively expensive, limiting it's run to just three ships. On a final note the US surface fleet is carrier centered giving the United States Navy an almost unfair advantage over the Russians, truth be told in the open ocean no Russian cruiser coul get close enough to the Zumwalt to be a threat before being destroyed by carrier based aircraft.

    abc64pan , Actually you seem very uninformed on Naval Warefare, let me help you out, here are the basics. Naval Warefare can be divided into three essential missions. First is Sea Control, this historically has been perfomed by Capitol ships such as Battleships or thier more recent replacements, Aircraft Carriers but also can be performed by a variety of smaller surface combatants such as Cruisers or Destroyers, the idea is to establish sea dominance over a particular area extending both above and below the surface, typically perfomed by a task group acting synergetically . The Second Mission is Sea Denial, this has been primarily performed by Submarines but also sea mines and ground based bombers and even fast attack boats have performed this role. Finally support, this can be perfomed by just about any ship but has been most successful when performed by Carriers. Aircraft Carriers due to their size and flexibility generally can perform the Sea Control and Support much better then any other type of weapon system, which is why all Naviee want them. Now you know something about the subject matter, frankly I don't understand why some people usually Pacifist Liberals feel the need to comment on things they obviously have no knowledge of, I don't know anything about the Russian Ballet so I refain from offering my opinion on it but lack of facts just doesn't seem to stop you people, odd.

    Philip basler, you'll have to be specific, each weapon system you named have entirely different roles and that includes the Arleigh Burke class which is intended primarily for Area Air Defence. The Zumwalt was originally intended as a post Cold War era ground support ship. Due to the protracted time this ship was in development the Navy decided to test numerous new technologies on it and many seem to work great. However usually when a ship undergoes extensive redesighn, costs escalate. This is why I expect to see many new techonogies the Zumwalt makes use of in other future ships. Whether or not this was the best move by the Navy, only time will tell.

I think its way over priced, the rail-gun system that was one of it's flagship weapon systems proved not to be cost effective, and the ship's seaworthiness is questionable. I think the Navy would have done better by purchasing more cruisers and updating its air fleets.

A stealth design that many experts believe not to be seaworthy, the superstructure is made of compressed wood, let's see how that handles weapons hits. Has no anti ship capabilities(Tomahawk anti ship missile are still years away from testing much less deployment). Then, what exactly is this thing supposed to do? It makes enough power to support a railgun, that who knows will become an operational weapon, still very much in the R&D stage. Ok, so it gets a railgun, but what good is that, if the ship can't get to where it needs to be? So it's basically a testbed for future ships. A very very expensive testbed.

    I agree, the shape goes against most hydrodynamic principles, just like the stealth fighter went against airodynamic principles, it looks like it would try to dive under huge waves encountered at sea, instead of riding over them... If this didn't try to sink it, it would definitely stop its forward progress cold... This looks to be a fairweather boat...

The fact that there was originally supposed to be 32 and this was ultimately reduced to just 3 ships says far more than can ever be said here. Of course that's not so say it can't play a role.

    Can you supply any links? Same with you Spooky where the navy has said this because i've watched lightning II's development and last i heard it's being tested still but from what i hear as of the Red Flag Wargames where it racked up a 20:1 kill ratio only losing 1 plane it's doing quite well. As well as being able to function as a secondary command and control asset based on the fact it's onboard computers where creating real time work simulations of the battle flow and was able work against them. Last i read there was also and article going along the lines of something like. Wargames are too easy for the Lightning II's. So i'm just curious about what information you both are looking. I didnt much like this plane either but so far the results that 1 trillion dollar plus funded seems to be working out. Oh yeah and lets not forget F-15s, F-16s BVR shot limit is 30 miles these shoot BVR 160 mile with their advance computers and avionics. They were so valuable in Red Flag based on their computers compiling data that legacy craft like F-16s, F-15s and F-22s request some of them stay on to do just that and only that after they ran out of munitions. Hardly sounds like junk. But have to wait to see more. I'm still on the fence. Especially now that the DOD is ordering 2,456 of them

    There is no radar in the world that can detect a Zumwalt until its to late. The Zumi would have launched it anti-ship attack long before any Russian or Chinese ship knew they had even been detected. The only kind of shots that Russian or Chinese ships will get off against a Zumwalt are "bearing only solution" shots. Basically they'll shoot their anti-ship missiles in the direction they see the Zumwalt's missiles coming from, if they have enough time after detecting the incoming missile strike. If the Zumwalt is firing stealthy missiles, they will not be detected until the final few seconds of flight and they would not have a chance to fire any anti-ship missiles back at the Zumi. If the inbounds are non-stealthy anti-ship missiles, they'll detect them as they come over the horizon approx 12nm and that will give the ship 1 minute to program and fire as many anti-ship missiles back at the Zumi as they can, I would estimate between 6 and 12 missiles would be successfully fired and that isn't close to as many as are needed to overwhelm the Zumwalt's defensive systems, but there is such a thing as a lucky shot too. If a missile were to leak through and actually hit a Zumi, of course it would kill many sailors and cause much damage, but the ship would likely survive. No navy does damage control better than the US navy.

(AKA SS-N-19 "Shipwreck") a single hit from those and it's game over for the zumwalt. the P-700 is so large it looks like a fighter jet with 750kg warhead compared to the harpoon's 200kg. the russian battlecruiser has 20+ of those missiles and it only needs one to decimate the zumi. A 1v1 end up zumi loosing. A strike group and coordinated attack must be employed to counter the russian Kirov-class battlecuiser

    On 10 April 2014, the USS Donald Cook entered the waters of the Black Sea and on 12 April a Russian Su-24 tactical bomber flew over the vessel triggering an incident that, according to several media reports, completely demoralized its crew, so much so that the Pentagon issued a protest [1]. The USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) is a 4th generation guided missile destroyer whose key weapons are Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, and capable of carrying nuclear explosives. This ship carries 56 Tomahawk missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode. The US destroyer is equipped with the most recent Aegis Combat System. It is an integrated naval weapons systems which can link together the missile defense systems of all vessels embedded within the same network, so as to ensure the detection, tracking and destruction of hundreds of targets at the same time. In addition, the USS Donald Cook is equipped with 4 large radars, whose power is comparable to that of several stations. For protection, it carries more than fifty anti-aircraft missiles of various types. Meanwhile, the Russian Su-24 that buzzed the USS Donald Cook carried neither bombs nor missiles but only a basket mounted under the fuselage, which, according to the Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta [2], contained a Russian electronic warfare device called Khibiny. As the Russian jet approached the US vessel, the electronic device disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer. In other words, the all-powerful Aegis system, now hooked up - or about to be - with the defense systems installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down, as turning off the TV set with the remote control. The Russian Su-24 then simulated a missile attack against the USS Donald Cook, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft - unarmed - repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away. After that, the 4th generation destroyer immediately set sail towards a port in Romania. Since that incident, which the Atlanticist media have carefully covered up despite the widespread reactions sparked among defense industry experts, no US ship has ever approached Russian territorial waters again. According to some specialized media, 27 sailors from the USS Donald Cook requested to be relieved from active service. Vladimir Balybine - director of the research center on electronic warfare and the evaluation of so-called "visibility reduction" techniques attached to the Russian Air Force Academy - made the following comment: "The more a radio-electronic system is complex, the easier it is to disable it through the use of electronic warfare."
