Technically it is called an Arleigh-Burke class Destroyer, but it’s main defensive systems are missiles, not deck guns or depth charges. One of the little friends that protects the carriers.
That big flat thing above the ‘gaping hole’ is one of the faces of the Phased Array Radar that comprises the AN/SPY-1 radar which is the ‘reach out and touch’ part of the missile system.
Based on the damage and the rippling in the hull and other superstructure, at least that face of the phased array radar is likely very much “uncalibrated” now. This is a lot of damage and I’d bet much more internal damage to critical defense systems exists. It will spend some time in port.
Yep. (but there are four guns on deck. Lucky me, I got to shoot one during a family cruise)
