US Navy just presented its future destroyer. Here's a detailed look at it.

Late last week, the US Navy presented its vision and requirements for the next generation Destroyer. One to replace the remaining Ticonderoga cruisers as well as some of the Burke destroyers. Binkov's analysis goes in depth on the requirement set, its capabilities, the construction timetable and budget.

    @Ran Brainhole I agree with that. People see the US massive military budget and automatically assume their military might reflects that. But the US spends a lot of that budget maintaining bases that aren’t really needed anymore. Every single year the Pentagon fails audits done by the IRS because massive amounts of money (I’m talking billions) ends up unaccounted for. The US isn’t as innovative overall since a while ago. There’s plenty of key areas where Russia and China have a sizable lead because the US isn’t exactly investing in the most prudent technology. Still no answer to hypersonic missiles. Plus comparatively speaking to the Russian navy US ships are very lightly armed. What’s the point in investing in sophisticated naval ships and technology if your still leaving your ships and bases wide open to missiles which cost a fraction to make/maintain

    Another very detailed video Binkov! I just want to mention a few things: 1: First time I looked at the design: the bow is almost exactly like the one of Type 055 2: We can see that many radars were exposed on top of the bridge, which would decrease its stealth capabilities 3: There are old radars on the design from 60s/70s 4: This design is obviously a rush in response of the Type 055, it is not carefully designed as it just look like they just simply stuffed all the technology they wanted on there. It is very unlikely that the actual ship will look like it

THey have to break through the 1st island chain to have any security, and they can do that with air cover from their coast. For almost anywhere else, I don't see it. The US is drastically reducing their large surface ships from 97 to 63 or something like that. Everyone is making the switch to submarines. For projecting power, I think long range bombers and floating planes that can service and rendey vous with submarines motherships that can command swarms of mostly autonomous ships. I just don't see the mission set for how expensive large surfface ships are, shy of cheap cariers. Help me?.. Is there a mission set I'm not seeing that other platforms can't do much better in most scenarios? How does a large surface ship get into the fight without fairly cheaply being bombed, torpedoed by a sub, or missile hit?.. It seems LCS actually are just expensive platforms that get stuck needing th emost expensive systems just to protect themselves!??... What am I missing?

    @@gregoryvangaya8971 Now you put it like that, I do feel like that it's an interesting thing to think about. But it is also true that the USN did have a plan to go for minor surface combatants and submarines, though they didn't decide to go that way. I suppose it's because of the issue of modern detection systems and many others. For example, Taiwan's navy is trying to build more missile boats to create an imbalanced advantage against PLA's big ships. However, things like drones would create big trouble for them and they wouldn't have much defense themselves. I guess that, at least for now, fleets with well offense and defense capabilities are still quite important to large navies.

    Sure as if US sailors lack the intelligence to know how to switch a radar on? Even if some commercial container ship rammed into a USN ship and killed those US sailors? That is just incident. Not like it would happen again just a month later you know ... And if US sailors lose GPS signal? They will know things like Celestial Navigation and Sextants to navigate without any technology. What do you think would happen? US sailors lost in Irans waters and on their knees crying in front of a camera? In front of the goatherding navy? Luckily the USN has found a way to have superior trained sailors if they install ... Xboxcontrollers.

    I know the Navy has investigated methods of 3D printing ship hulls for destroyers. Personally, I have a similar idea--vacuum cold welded. That is, two extrusion heads roll out 1/8" square wire (of cold rolled steel) using pressure in a vacuum to cause bonding. The sides of the wire would be brushed as it extrudes to eliminate any oxidization to a firm cold weld. I am not sure what the best pressure would be for this but would probably start with 200 pounds or so. It shouldn't require that much. One extrusion head would roll out steel from stern to bow while the other follows closely behind top-down with the bulkheads. The method would have limitations on some tight turns but this should be overall doable. This system could easily produce several full sized destroyer shells per day. That is, the hull, bulkheads, all decks (above and below) and extra structure. Obviously, there still remains a lot of work filling out the rest but the overall cost and time should be considerably reduced. Also, I tried cold welding stainless steel and it seems to work well. Although more expensive, such vessels could have less maintenance and much longer life spans, in addition to being amuned to magnetic mines. I wonder if titanium would work? If so, it's very expensive but would result is a very light weight and exceptionally fast destroyer. Using this square wire extrusion technique, there will also be flexibilities in fine structure for substantially enhanced impact resistance and other strength qualities. Personally, I would agree with the diesel electric propulsion because it is 3 times as energy efficient (perhaps toroidal propellers would make that 6 times), provides immediate full torque, and is also quiet. However, I would rely more on ultracapacitors for power regulation and short-term storage. Look at Skullcap technology, for example. They will charge very quickly and expel at variable rates, in addition to having unlimited recharge cycles without loss of capacity.

    Navy is repeating the Spruance class strategy. During 1970 the USN had to replace their old Gearing class destroyers after Vietnam War and counter Soviet navy numbers after Afghanistan invasion. Many Spruances were launched with gun, ASROC, 2 LAMP ASW hel and Sea Sparrow air defense missiles. It had large super structure that was empty with plenty of room for additions in electronics and additional weapons. Later batches were upgrade of initial ship design. The improvements were retrofitted to the early ships. The Spruance procurement allow for cost efficient construction and launch of replacement destroyers with the flexibility to add more modern upgrades in the future. Only weakness to the design was the usage of aluminum super structure. The British experience in the Falkland War proved that aluminum was not survivable to ship fires caused by missile damage.

    If we're going to build a small fleet of 13000 tonne ships, it becomes more economical to build a smaller fleet of more survivable weapons platforms with missile superiority. Up the displacement to 22000 tonnes and make her a CGN. The Burke's are an excellent platform, but they have become generalists. In a massed fleet action they will be pulling triple duty, ASW, AAW, and Anti-Surface. The fleet needs a new line of defense for the CV, and something that can make a difference in the opening stages of battle.

    I didn’t know the Saber was that light! That’s like, a big truck nowadays!

    At first I thought it was an exaggeration but no, that looks EXACTLY like the type 55. Wild. The only way I can tell them apart is the slightly smaller CWIS/rolling block battery on the front... This is of course just a render, not the final design. Maybe someone got lazy on the presentation : Edit: This is a fantastic proposal. The places it innovates are specifically high value, like the distributed gas turbines and potential for larger missiles. The larger hangar and potential for drones is great, even though the Navy continues to underestimate them and fail to produce enough of them. Best of all, no stealth delusions. Stealth arguably works well on planes in part because they are smaller, faster, and able to take better advantage of radar horizons. They take less time inside detection range to do their job and have more things that can look like nothing of concern. For a boat though, any radar return at all is basically garunteed to be a boat, and ships can mount more larger radars on them, with no terrain to hide behind. Not to mention it works fundamentally less well, especially with all the noise it makes and all its enemies already equipped with sonar and the like... I like this. It better not come out looking like that though or we'll have a lot of friendly fire lol.

    I guess Chinese stole the design from future US engineer’s mind and build before they put the idea into blueprints

    That’s right. DDGX is a US copy of China’s Type 55. Shame on the US
