I had the opportunity to tour an Arleigh Burke class DDG - the USS Pinckney - during Fleet Week in San Diego last Saturday. An impressive piece of kit with a 32-cell and 64-cell Mk 41 Vertical Launch System which can be loaded with any combination of Tomahawk LAM, Standard SAM or ASROC depending on the anticipated mission.

I was also able to tour the USS Somerset - a San Antonio class LPD - which is state of the art. The bridge layout / equipment was a quantum leap forward from the Arleigh Burke class with computer displays for everything including functions which had chinagraph boards on the DDG. For instance the XO was able to monitor the precise status of propulsion and power generation on a single screen.
I spoke to several sailors manning displays on the USS Nimitz (tour limited to hangar and flight deck). All below Chief commented about the uncertainties created by cruises being extended considerably in reaction to contingencies arising and subsequent retasking (eg from 6 months to 10+ months).
