Guided-missile destroyer
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2008) |
A guided-missile destroyer is a destroyer designed to launch guided missiles. Many are also equipped to carry out anti-submarine, anti-air, and anti-surface operations. The NATO standard designation for these vessels is DDG. Nations vary in their use of destroyer D designation in their hull pennant numbering, either prefixing, or dropping it altogether. The U.S. Navy has adopted the classification DDG in the American hull classification system.
In addition to the guns, a guided-missile destroyer is usually equipped with two large missile magazines, usually in vertical-launch cells. Some guided-missile destroyers contain powerful radar systems, such as the United States’ Aegis Combat System, and may be adopted for use in an anti-missile or ballistic-missile defense role. This is especially true of navies that no longer operate cruisers, so other vessels must be adopted to fill in the gap.

- The Template:Sclass- was designated as the DDG-47 class in its early development, prior to the United States Navy 1975 ship reclassification, which made it the CG-47 class. The first Template:Sclass- was designated DDG-51, as the hull numbers DDG-47-50 had been used for Ticonderoga-class ships.[3]
