Sparrow Missile, but later the Navy decided to retrofit all IIA ships to carry at least one Phalanx CIWS by
2013.[26]
USS Pinckney, USS Momsen, USS Chung-Hoon, USS Nitze, USS James E. Williams and USS
Bainbridge[27] have superstructure differences to accommodate the Remote Mine-hunting System (RMS). Mk 32
torpedo tubes were moved to the missile deck from amidships as well.
Modernization
The US Navy has begun a modernization program for the Arleigh Burke class aimed at improving the gun systems
on the ships in an effort to address congressional concerns over the retirement of the Iowa-class battleships. This
modernization was to include an extension of the range of the 5-inch (127 mm) guns on the Flight I Arleigh Burkeclass destroyers (USS Arleigh Burke to USS Ross) with Extended Range Guided Munitions (ERGMs) that would
have given the guns a range of 40 nautical miles (74 km).[28][29][30] However, the ERGM was cancelled in
2008.[31]
The modernization program is designed to provide a comprehensive mid-life upgrade to ensure that the class
remains effective. Reduced manning, increased mission effectiveness, and a reduced total cost including
construction, maintenance, and operation are the goals of the modernization program. Modernization technologies
will be integrated during new construction of DDG-111 and 112, then retrofitted into DDG Flight I and II ships
during in-service overhaul periods.[32] The first phase will update the hull, mechanical and electrical systems while
the second phase will introduce an open architecture computing environment (OACE). The result will be improved
capability in both ballistic missile defense (BMD) and littoral combat.[33]
The Navy is also upgrading the ships' ability to process data. Beginning with USS Spruance, the Navy is installing
an Internet Protocol (IP) based data backbone, which enhances the ship's ability to handle video. USS Spruance is
the first destroyer to be fitted with the Boeing Company's Gigabit Ethernet Data Multiplex System (GEDMS).[34]
In July 2010 BAE Systems announced that it had been awarded a contract to modernize 11 ships.[35]
11/11/12
improvements including radar antennas of mid-diameter increased to 14 feet (4.3 m) from the previous 12 feet
(3.7 m).[42] These Air and Missile Defense Radars (AMDR) use digital beamforming, instead of the earlier Passive
Electronically Scanned Array radars.[43]
However, costs for the Flight III ships increased rapidly as expectations and requirements for the program have
grown. In particular, this was due to the changing requirements needed to carry the proposed Air and Missile
Defense Radar system required for the ships' ballistic missile defense role. [44] The Government Accountability
Office found that the design of the Flight IIIs was based on "a significantly reduced threat environment from other
Navy analyses" and that the new ships would be "at best marginally effective".[45]
In spite of the production restart, the Navy is expected to fall short of its requirement for 94 missile-defensecapable destroyer and cruiser platforms starting in FY 2025 and continuing past the end of the 30-year planning
window. While this is a new requirement as of 2011, and the United States Navy has never had so many large
missile-armed surface combatants, the relative success of the Aegis ballistic missile defense system has shifted this
national security requirement onto the Navy. The shortfall will arise as older platforms that have been refitted to be
missile-defense-capable (particularly the cruisers) are retired in bulk before new destroyers are planned to be
built.[46]
The Navy is considering extending the acquisition of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers into the 2040s, according to
revised procurement tables sent to Congress, which have the Navy procuring Flight IV ships from 2032 through
2041.[47]
Operational history
See also: USS Cole bombing
Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS Cole was damaged on 12 October 2000 in Aden, Yemen while docked, by
an attack in which an apparently shaped charge of 200-300 kg in a boat was placed against the hull and detonated
by suicide bombers, killing 17 crew members. The ship was repaired, and returned to duty in 2001.
In October 2011 it was announced that four Arleigh Burke class destroyers would be forward-deployed in
Europe to provide missile defence as part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach. The ships, to be based at
Naval Station Rota, Spain, were named in February 2012, as Ross, Donald Cook, Porter and Carney.[48]

USS Michael Murphy was originally intended to be the last of the Arleigh Burke class. However with reduction of
the Zumwalt (DDG-1000) class production, the Navy requested new DDG-51 class ships.[53] Long-lead
materials contracts were awarded to Northrop Grumman in December 2009 for DDG-113 and in April 2010 for
DDG-114.[54] General Dynamics received a long-lead materials contract for DDG-115 in February 2010.[55][56] It
is anticipated that in FY2012 or FY2013, the Navy will commence detailed work for a Flight III design and
request 24 ships to be built from 2016 to 2031.[57] In April 2011, a total of 75 Burke class ships was planned.[58]
Foreign interest
In May 2011 Saudi Arabia received a price estimate for the purchase of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.[59]

1. ^ a b O'Rourke, Ronald (19 April 2011). "Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and
Issues for Congress" (http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?
Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf&AD=ADA543249) . Congressional Research Service. http://www.dtic.mil/cgibin/GetTRDoc?Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf&AD=ADA543249. Retrieved 23 October 2011. Since 1 and 2
ships are procured in alternate years and the "1 in a year" ships cost more, the fairest estimate of unit price comes
from averaging three ships across two years. US$50-300m is spent on long lead-time items in the year before the
main procurement of each ship. DDG-114 and DDG-115 together cost US$577.2m (FY2010) + US$2,922.2m
(FY2011) = US$3,499.4m,(p25) and DDG-116 cost US$48m (FY2011) + US$1,980.7m (FY2012) =
US$2,028.7m,(p12) making an average for the three ships of US$1,847.2m. DDG-113 cost US$2,234.4m.(p6)
