How US Navy Destroyer Ship Works?

简介：

This US destroyer can be divided into several parts. At the front is the bow, or some might call this the stem, followed by the forecastle, and the most important part, the bridge. Moving inside, this serves as the primary command and control center for the ship. It offers an almost 360‑degree field of view and spans almost two stories in height, and is manned by staff 24 hours a day. Just below the bridge are the meeting and dining rooms. Due to the compact nature of this destroyer, the living quarters for the 300 crew members are quite cramped at this level. Moving further back, there are four turbines, diesel engines, and electrical generators connected to a double‑shaft propeller. As these are diesel generators, the exhaust is directed through two funnels located here and intentionally designed to reduce heat and radar signature of the ship. As the name suggests, a destroyer is equipped to carry around 90 missiles with a vertical launching system, a Mark Forty‑Five deck gun position at the front, followed by close‑combat Phalanx and a Sea RAM missile system. It also houses Harpoon anti‑ship missiles and torpedo tubes for threats underneath. Additionally, there is a submarine hunter‑killer Sea Hawk, equipped with sonar and torpedoes, featured in the upcoming video. Stay tuned and don't miss a beat.
