USN further enhances military engagements in Asia Pacific at 'CARAT' 2017

[Ethan]

• The US Navy has introduced several changes that will enhance a series of annual naval exercises it holds with countries in the Asia-Pacific region
• Move will further improve the service's ability to interoperate with the region's navies

In line with a policy to increasingly enhance its military engagements with partners in the Asia-Pacific region, the US Navy (USN) has evolved the 'Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training' ('CARAT') series of naval drills to now include multilateral phases, and a new exercise venue that allows for more complex activities.

'CARAT' 2017, which is seeing 23rd iteration this year, has for the first time incorporated a multilateral phase, which saw the USN's Arleigh-burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Sterett (DDG 104) and Littoral Combat Ship USS Coronado (LCS 4) train alongside ships from both the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the Royal Thai Navy (RTN).

The drills, which included joint flight operations and divisional tactics manoeuvres, were conducted in the South China Sea in mid-May 2017 and also saw the participation of the RSN's Formidable-class frigate RSS Intrepid (69) and the RTN's lead Naresuan-class frigate (421). Previous 'CARAT' series featured only bilateral engagements with the USN.

These multilateral drills have further enhanced the three navies' capability to work together in co-operative security missions, said Commander Doug Meagher, commanding officer of Coronado, in a statement on the drills.

'CARAT' 2017' has now moved on to a regular bilateral phase with the RTN, which runs for eight days from 29 May but the USN has not ruled out more bilateral drills for the rest of the exercises in the series. "There may be other phases of CARAT that will develop into multilateral exchanges or include other nations as observers to bilateral phases," said Lieutenant Commander Arlo Abrahamson, a USN public affairs officer, in response to questions from Jane's.

It is good that the DDG-104, will be a great dominance in the maritime area

Let's look at the processing:
1 × 32 cell, 1 × 64 cell Mk 41 vertical launch systems,
96 × RIM-66 SM-2, BGM-109 Tomahawk or RUM-139 VL-Asroc, missiles
1 × 5/62 in (127/62 mm), 2 × 25 mm Mk 38, 4 × .50 cal (12.7 mm) guns
2 × Mk 46 triple torpedo tubes
1 × 20mm Phalanx CIWS

I'm not just greedy I want a destructive DDG-51

It is good if we buy from Britain four DDG-51 destroyers

يعني افهم من كلاامك اخي العزيز بان بريطانيا لا تصنع مدمرات

The UK doesn't manufacture DDG-51 destroyers, these destroyers are American-made, but the UK manufactures the Type-45 destroyers

Thanks, my friend
But what are the differences between American and British destroyers?

 

[Ethan]

There are many differences, but to take a look at the Armament of the destroyer Type 45:
Sensors and
processing systems:

SAMPSON multi-function air tracking radar (Type 1045)

S1850M 3-D air surveillance radar (Type 1046)

Raytheon Integrated Bridge and Navigation System
2 × Raytheon AHRS INS
(MINS 2)
2 × Raytheon I-band Radar
(Type 1047)
1 × Raytheon E/F-band Radar
(Type 1048)[10]
Ultra Electronics Series 2500 Electro-Optical Gun Control System (EOGCS)[11]
Ultra Electronics SML Technologies radar tracking system
Ultra Electronics/EDO MFS-7000 sonar

Electronic warfare
& decoys:

UAT Mod 2.0 (2.1 planned)[12]
AN/SSQ-130 Ship Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Increment F cryptologic exploitation system [13]
Seagnat
Naval Decoy IDS300
Surface Ship Torpedo Defence

Armament:

Anti-air missiles:
Sea Viper air defence system, with a 48-cell Sylver A50 VLS, for mix of up to 48:
Aster 15 missiles (range 1.7–30 km)
Aster 30 missiles (range 3–120 km)

Anti-ship missiles:
2 × quad Harpoon launchers[N 2]
Guns:
1 × BAE 4.5 inch Mk 8 naval gun
2 × Oerlikon 30 mm guns
2 × Phalanx CIWS
2 × Miniguns
6 × General purpose machine guns

Aircraft carried:

1–2 × Wildcat, armed with:
4 × anti ship missiles, or
2 × anti submarine torpedoes
or
1 × Westland Merlin,[15] armed with:

Ok my friend
But I have a question
What weapons are carried by destructive British anti - terrestrial targets

I mean, what are the missiles with which the ground targets are bombed and how much is their operational range?

I repeat
The type of missiles carried by the British destroyer, which can hit the ground targets

Is Cruise Tomahawk or others

What fire that over destructive is a defensive means

If they defend what you can protect the vessel

Can these missiles protect the ship against missiles?

thank you my friend

The destroyer Type 45 doesn't have cruise missiles other than Harpoon missiles.

As I mentioned earlier, it's a defensive destroyer, which means it is dedicated to the protection of marine fleets and coasts as well as the maritime area.

With regard to the ability of the Aster-30 missile to protect, it succeeded in intercepting a supersonic missile similar to Russian missiles.
