Burke looks out from the bridge ofthe ship named after him in Bath, Maine, on 12 September 1990. ‘The Arieigh Burke was the first ofits namesake class of guided, missile destroyers, receiving her commission on 4 July 1991, Her motto is “Fast and Feared.” Her crest, at rights outined in blue and aold, sianifving Adm. Burke's achievements in batt. The fst and mace symbolize the ships’ offensive and defensive power. Adm. Burke's Destroyer Squadron 23, represented by the border of 23 ovals, was the only U.S. destroyer squadron to receive a Presidential Unit Citation, signified by the canton of blue, yellow, and red. The mounted figure of St. George signifies ‘Adm. Burke's victory over Japanese naval forces in the Battle (of Cape St. George. The gold cross on St. George's mantle represents the Navy Cross awarded tothe admiral, and the red sea dragon symbolizes Japanese naval power assaulted by forces under (then) Capt. Burke's command.The need for Arleigh Burke Themost capable and sophisticated destroyer clasin the word, Arligh Burkehad its beginnings in the mid-1970s, che result of a Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) rescach project. In the years following the Viemam War, cost and size constrains were dominant factors motivating, the ship design proces. The new desuoyer had tobe effective as an anci-submarine ecort for carver bate groups and be able o engage and neutralize airboene threats, such as Soviet bombers, and cruise minis, Working with carr based fighter, theve guided mile destroyers, equipped with the new and evolving Aegis (Greek for shield) radar system, would deliver a knock-out blow to Soviet Tu-20 Bear and Tu-22M Backfire bombers. The two defensive layers would be able in theory to destroy not only che incoming bomber force, but also any eruise misiles the bombers would have launched. If the defense were sucessful, che specialized Soviet Naval Aviation force ‘would be defeated allowing allied merchant ship convoys to reach Europe to help NATO forces stop a Soviet land atack across Wester Europe ‘The new destroyer was also intended to replace older ships of several classes due for replacement (eg. Charles F Adams, Belenap, Leaky, and Mahan) with one modern type 4 In this artist's concept in 1982, DDG-St has a Snch gun af, hwo SPG-62 luminaors forward, rounded exhaust housings, and Harpoon misses inthe center ofthe forward deckhouse. (Vince PlocykINAVSEA) After several conceptual designs had been proposed and rejected, 12 baseline descrpti the new ship were reviewed in the ate 1970s. Some ofthe descriptions were based on modifying ‘current designs in service such as the Pery-class frigate, Spruance/Kidd-class destroyers, and the Ticonderoga-clss cruiser. The new ship was to have electric drive, Mk 13 single-armed mechanical misile launchers or the Vertical Launch System (VS), offering a large volume of weaponry in 13 small a space as possible. The 12 descriptions inlud! various configurations of radar and electronic equipment. Gun, fire control, combat controls, aviation options, and tonnage were spelled out in the various plans as well. Generally, weight was given from 6,000 to 6,500 cons light, with an average 8,000 tons fully loaded. Debate centered on the embarking of helicopters; one line of thought was that an assembled carier surface task force would have ample helicopters. Deleting the aviation capability meant a shorter, smaller hull chat would be cheaper to build. That would allow more ships to be built. ‘Aluminum hulls were considered because they were lighter, but they were more susceptible to ‘combat damage. Sted construction was cheaper, stronger, and more resistant co combat damage,plas i had a higher resistance to hea fom fires than aluminum, A disadvantage to steel was that, although stronger, heat would be readily conducted to other compartments In August 1979, the chief of naval operations (NO), Adm. Thomas B. Hayward, officially ‘ordered studies of an Aegis equipped, missle armed DDGX to augment the Ticonderogaclss ‘eruisers already in service. Not only would the new ship offer increased defenses as parc ofa cartier battle group, i also would be able to perform independent operations in aeas of ligt hostile action. Saudies focused on fve concepts. Ship 1 was a design with crulser-common fecures. Ship 2 was offered with advanced electric drive, Ship 3 had midsize dimensions. Ship 4 was smaller than Ship 3, and Ship 5 was a VLS-armed figae. Various subeoncepts emerged from the five. Ship 3A bbecame the most attractive, withthe Aegis system and a mix of various electronic fits and weapon arrangements. Afier a review; Adm. Hayward favored the Ship 3A concept but ordered costs be kept below that of a Ticonderge unit. Drawings of the new ship were presented in January 1980, showing a wateine hull length of 479 feet and a 60-foot beam. Fully loaded weight was 7,400 tons. Primary armament was contained in 96 vericaklaunch cells. (A-module was forward with 32 rounds, and B-module was af with 64 rounds. These were later reduce t0 90 cell withthe addition of two loading cranes that took up the space of thre eels each fore and afi.) Other armament consisted of ‘wo quadruple Harpoon launchers, wo Phalanx close-in weapons, .wo triple Mk 32 torpedo launchers, and a single inch gun aft. Three LM-2500 gas turbines provided propulsion in an cleetrc drive with one turbine adapted with Rankin Cycle Energy Recovery (RACER) technology (@ means of increasing gas turbine efficiency). Three diesel generjors gave auxiliary power.

Early in 1981, the DDGX design moved ahead, primarily driven by the deste 0 keep the ship size under control. Weight was decreased by 1,000 tons, and length was frozen at 460 fee. “Two alternacives were then proposed, with the frst accepted. The first alternative was a ship of 7.580 tons with 96 VLS cell, integrated electric drive, dhree LM-2500 gas turbines with RACER technology, and rwo U6-ylinder diesel engines. Length conflicts soon became apparent asthe auddivion ofa heliwpes landing pal ical «466-foe hl. ‘New BGM-109 Tomahawk Land Artack Missiles (TLAMs) would turn the ships into strike platforms that could attack targets far inland. Older clases, such as Spruamce and Virginia, were ‘outited with Tomahawks, but since che new weapons were larger not many could not be carted. IFlaunched at sea, no missiles would be available fora second attack. The new ship would cary enough TLAMSs and VLS modules fora meaningful offensive capabil By now the Reagan Administration was in power, with new arttudes toward procurement, tackling more aggressively the challenges of the Cold War by proposing a 600-ship Navy. Aegis was now Firmly accepted as the standard for primary radar equipment on DDGX, along, with the Standard Missile in its improved versions. Frigate production lost emphasis to cruisers and dlstroyers. now scen as essential components of surface forces. ‘Changes to the basi design were offered as some of the concepts (RACER and lectric drive) were deemed impractical and overly complicated, raising concerns of lengthened development. A ‘new review was convened by the CNO that eliminated all the innovative concepts and stated that ‘overall dependability would be paramount. More missiles were included as wel as four LM-2500 power plants, with ewo gas turbines driving each propeller shaft, This resulted in greater size and In ths painting, Areigh Burke fires @ Standard Missile from is at VLS.

The eos ceiling per unit was increased fom $550 milion to between $600 milion and $650 million per unit. With an added towed-areay sonar habitabilty changes, greater range, and alterations to increase the power ofthe Aegis radars, displacement increased to 8,700 tons ‘The Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OpNav) authorized a top-level requirement for the new ship in June 1981, emphasizing combat capability and survivability. Further design progres and reviews in 1982 included inereased priority on improving habitbilty and growth ‘options and decreased priority on energy conservation. Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System I (LAMPS) equipment was added to provide access to che SH-60B Information data link. The Ssinch gun was relocated from aft to forward, Weight was saved by using ligheweight armor and hull constuction techniques. While design work was moving forward, the Falklands War broke out. After the conflict, Secretary of the Navy John Lehman requested information. on lessons learned that could be applied to DDGX. In October 1982, one recommendation put forth was for all-stel construction. Others inchuded protection from the fleets of nuclear explosion by hardening critical electrical components agains electromagnetic pulses. The filtering of the ship'sair against nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) agents and the use of aight hatches and positive pressure was known asthe Collective Protection System (CPS), the chances of one hit taking out all vital components of combat control. Radar crns-setion ARCS) alterations, such as sloping the hull sides and exterior surfaces, and the addition of mesh screens in glass to prevent radar wave penetration reduced radar reflections. ‘The hull was flared along the sides to accommodate the increased beam (with the added benefit of reducing RCS) with a forward hull in a "V" shaped instead of a "U” shape. The transom was wide and lard a the sides. stern wedge was designed into the hull profile to improve handling and stability at high speeds. ‘Atthe end of 1982, a final design was ready. twas 466 fect long with a61-foot beam. Is speed vas estimated at just over 31 knots, with a range of up to 6,000 nautical miles. The cost per unit afer initial production was projected a $744 million from the fifh ship onward. In January 1983, the proposal was rejected, with recommendations given to reduce the cost to $650 million. Asan alternative, the Ziconderoga design was offered for further study. Suggestions included removing fone gun and eliminating some VLS cal In January 1983, NAVSEA looked at two proposils. One centered on 2 less sophisticated Ticonderoga design the other was an adaptation of the Kidd configuration with an air defense system known as the New Threat Upgrade, or NTU. Both were rejected in favor of the DDGX design. The NTU was one ofthe shortcomings of the Kidd propos since ic would not be able to track the Soviets’ newer, deadlier supersonic mises. The Ticonderaga alternative fell victim to its cost and is inability co carry Tomahaws in sufficient numbers. Advances in Aegis and power plant efficiency allowed the DDGX plan to move ahead in February 1983. The helicopter facilites remained intact as the RACER concept proved unworkable and was eliminated from consideration. ‘An updated preliminary design was agreed upon, and the contract phase began in May 1983, No gunfire-control radar was installed, and nether the S-inch laser-guided shell nor the Seaire laser designator was included. The beam was cut to 59 fect. In January 1984, the new unit cost of $700 million became an achievable goal. After another design proposal was turned down, at last the first ship of the new DDGX design, Arieigh Burke, ‘was placed in Fiscal Yea (FY) 1985 budget. 6 cparating critical systems throughout the interior decreased Donald Cook (DDG-75) cruises in the Mediterranean Sea.

A new concept, the bass of whic willbe used fora new series of surface warships, DDG-1000 incorporates the lates in automat lov-observable technologies, and crew habitabilty and is intended ro operate in ltoral regions. Primary missions concentrate on land atack. Five are currency scheduled w be built by Nora Gruman Ship Sypcems aon! Dale Low ‘Works. DDG-1000 and DDG-1001 are funded by Congress in FY 2007 and 2008. Dimensions include a length of 607 fect, a beam of 80.7 fet, and draft of 27.6 fet. Speeds willbe up to 31.2 knots. The range at 20 knots is 4,500 nautical miles. Propulsion comes from two Rolls Royce MT-30 gas turbines with 47,318 SHP each, a total of 97,900 SHP driving two propellers.

A total of 960 rounds of 57 mm ammunition and 600 rounds of 155 mm projectiles can be carrie. Radars compose a dual-band phasec-array system (the SPY-3 X-band for target acquisition, tacking, and illumination and S-band for area search share the same array) and a navigation set. No electronic support measures gear is planned forthe first ship. Conformal sensors embedded in the superstructure will climinate mechanical, high-maintenance antennas and dishes protected in radomes. A dual frequency sonar is included aswell as a multifunction towed array Countermeasures include SLQ-25A(V) Nixie, Mk 50 decoy system, with six Mk 137 rocket launchers, and 12 launchers for Mk 53 Nulla hovering decoys. Helicopters (ewo ME-6OR or ‘one MH-60R and three RQ-8 Fite Scout VTUAVs) will be embarked in an enclosed hangar amidships. Two RHIBs will also be launched and recovered fiom the stem. Propulsion spaces ‘notmally will be unattended, a result of high automation and computer monitoring. The crew is cavisioned to be 14 officers and 100 enlisted personne plus the air group. Research, development, testing, and evaluation costs are $3.8 billion. The eos forthe first une is expected to be around $3.29 bilin, with Future ships estimated at $3.06 bilion.

Data link connections feed surface or subsurface contact information from a helicopter to the ship in real time for analysis ora tactical response in the form ofa torpedo atack or the fring of an anti-ship mise. SATCOM stabilized antennas eceve and transmit messages clearly and completely asthe ship roll or pitches in a heavy sea oF maneuvers, Surface search radars such as SPS-G7(V)4 detect submarine periscupes in moderate sea states. SPS-64(V)9 or Bridge Master B sets (DDG-87 and later) enable precise navigation in shallow litral water. Aegis long-range radars provide a picture of the battle scene on large screens in the combat information centet, showing airra, Jand mases, cruise missiles, and other ships. SPG-62 radarillaminate trges for SM-2 and SM-3 rmisiles moving at supersonic speeds to their targets. Electronic systems are vital to any modetn navy undertaking tactical operations and prevailing in sea warfare. People who own a home computer know that in 2 matter of months, the sytem they bought could be modified to work faster with upgrades, The same goes for naval systems. As ships come ddue for yard overhauls or systems upgrades, many devices are nded, and new units take the place of older, ls-capable ones. Many ships in the same class reccive different antenna or radome arrangements as shipyard overhauls come due foreach ship ‘As SATCOM stems mature with the ability to handle increased message traffic in es time, inevitably the antennas grow larger.
