Well that explains a lot

That's why I didn't even bother to reply to his post.
By the way,you didn't reply to my quary about the standard missile load in Arleigh Burke Flight IIA DDGs.

What's with the AB obsession?

Unless you want BMD and considerable LAM capabilities its not particularly required.

No obsession,just curiosity and a sense of appreciation for those beasts.That's all brother.

The Arleigh Burke class employs all-steel construction and is comprised of three separate variants or 'Flights':
DDG 51-71 represent the original design and are designated Flight I ships;
DDG 72-78 are Flight II ships;
DDG 79 and Follow ships are built or are being built to the Flight IIA design.
The Flight III baseline is planned for the second ship in FY16.

A DDG modernization program is underway to provide a comprehensive mid-life upgrade that will ensure the DDG 51 class will maintain mission relevance and remain an integral part of the Navy�s Sea Power 21 Plan. The modernization changes are also being introduced to new construction ships to increase the baseline capabilities of the newest ships in the class, and to provide commonality between new construction ships and modernized in-service ships. The goal of the DDG modernization effort is to reduce workload requirements and increase war fighting capabilities while reducing total ownership cost to the Navy. In-service ships can be modernized by two distinct packages � Combat Systems (C/S) and Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) upgrades. The HM&E package includes new Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in the engineering plant and a Digital Video Surveillance System (DVSS), along with the Integrated Bridge Navigation System (IBNS), an Advanced Galley, and other habitability modifications. A complete Open Architecture computing environment is the foundation for ships receiving the C/S war fighting improvements. This upgrade plan consists of a new Multi-Mission Signal Processor to accommodate additional Ballistic Missile Defense capability and an improvement to radar performance in the littoral regions. Additional upgrades include: Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM), CIWS Blk 1B, SEWIP, and NULKA. The Arleigh Burke-class MK-41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) will be upgraded to support SM-3 and newer variants of the SM missile family. Throughout their expected service life, DDG 51 destroyers will continue to provide multi-mission offensive and defensive capabilities with the added benefit of sea-based protection from the ballistic missile threat.

FLIGHT I: mix of 34 Standard SM2MR and 56 Tomahawk ASM/TLAM
FLIGHT II: mix of ESSM, Standard SM2MR in 34 cells (e.g. 27 SM2 plus 7x4=28 ESSM) plus 56 Tomahawk ASM/TLAM
These ships are also VL Asroc capable (but I doubt in practce they carry them often).

In July 2002, the first ESSM sea launch was carried out by Flight IIA vessel,
In December 2004, Raytheon began deliveries of the latest version of the Standard Missile, the SM-3. SM-3, based on hit-to-kill technology, has a kinetic warhead and is for deployment against short to medium-range ballistic missiles.

Balony. If your criterion for 'not very good' is that it is high subsonic, in which case please explain why PLAN, for example, has opted to arm its 054/A frgates and 056 corvettes and many other of its ships with such a missile. Youi also have to keep in mind for which platforms it was designed: I've yet to see a Brahmos carried on a medium ASW heli ...


Well that explains a lot

Really bro 130km range subsonic KH 35 is good enough? There's a reason IN feels shy using this missile on their missile boats nowadays even! It is practically useless in network centric high volume warfare. Infact I am thankful we have finally stepped on the right track, buying Klub and producing Brahmos missile.

We are not cunning people, you've got a hot head. Cool it.

Ever heard of a stalemate. For a country like India we need the insurance.

Type 055 is in design / testing phase of tech. That is a mockup. If you believe it is a cruiser U/C then you are truly behaving like a legendary "sardar".

@Penguin do you think that the I.N. should have gone ahead and ordered 3-6 FREMM class frigates to replace the obsolete Godavari class and the Brahmaputra class ones??
Secondly what ectra capabilities would the FREMM class bring to the table other than it's excellent AAW capability??
Lastly,if we had chosen the FREMM class would it be the Italian version or the Frnech ones considering the fact that the French ones have an extra armament of 16 Scalp LACM in addition to the usual 8 Exocet AshM load??
Please throw some light in this matter...

That is a MOCKUP! It will be built but not immediately! Even AC Lianoning had a mockup.

Currently they are designing testing parts of the warship. That is not a hull.

looks like they have almost completed rest two 15A s DDG
