As for this poll, the Iroquois class seems to be getting a lot of votes, but realistically it is nowhere near the power of the Arleigh Burke class or Sheffield class. The Kongō class is simply a modified Arleigh Burke class.

not to mention being 20 years older than the burke

Aus and the jap's kongo are both burke variants

i can't qutie remember as it's been 10 years since i was on one, but i believe they said they can launch a tomahawk every 8 seconds or so, and it had a 54 round mag, can't find an article on it so don't take my word for it

I can't believe the Sheffield class isn't in 2nd place. I should have voted for that. It's clearly the 2nd best. Seen a lot of action too.

yeah, comparatively the ones tied for second should be in the retirement home

anyone remember what that first stealth ship was called, the one in the bond movie?
i know it was just an experiment basically, but i still wanna find it.

Was it the Sea Shadow?

The British Type 45 is going to have stealth technology.

Null seeing as UK doesnt use that as its main destroyer.

Read and weep... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_45_destroyer

The First two, Daring and Dauntless will enter service in 2009 and 2010 respectively

Daring's been launched though. They just need to put all the bits on it.

yeah that's it, i wonder how much they want for it

you know, it's just sitting there, they're not using it for anything

Doesn't look quite as near completion though does it?

You mean installing the surround sound and Ipod docks?

Yeah, something like that.

They've got to fit a lot of kettles as well, you've got to remember this is a British destroyer, the crew are going to drink a lot of tea.

I'd say Sovremenniy . Simply because it uses this - SS-N-22 Sunburn . Speed - 2800km\h . Mosquito anti-ship missiles ftw !

2nd is Arleigh Burke .

And Sheffield is piece of shit , Folklend war showed that out . 2 Sheffield class destroyers were pwned by outdated french exzoset antiship missiles , launched by Argentinian jets .

All destroyers are vulnerable to anti ship missiles. The Falklands is really the only major naval engagement since WWII. The fact that some destroyers were sunk is not suprising.

The Agentines came out of the naval battles a lot worse off than the British.
