The Arleigh Burke class - often referred to by the US NAVY as the DDG-51 class - is a class of guided missile destroyers of the United States Navy, which have a variety of offensive and defensive capabilities. With currently 68 ships, she is – in terms of the number of units – one of the most numerically built ship classes of the US Navy since the Second World War and the most built since the end of the Cold War.
The best-known Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is the USS Cole, which was badly damaged in a terrorist attack in the Middle East in 2000.
You will gain a detailed insight into the development history, an overview of all 89 ships built and planned so far, as well as the technical equipment of the Arleigh Burke class.
