ARLEIGH BURKE DESTROYER EP PNP OVERVIEWW
The Arleigh Burke class are among the most powerful destroyers ever built in the United States. Only the Spruance class destroyers were larger (563 feet). The Burke class destroyers are more heavily armed than previous guided-missile destroyers. However it is important to remember that the mission of the Burke class is significantly different than the Spruance class. The larger Ticonderoga class ships were constructed on Spruance class hullforms, but are designated as cruisers due to their radically different mission and weapons systems.
Pro Boat now offers a scale-like replica of the Arleigh Burke Destroyer. This model pays exceptional attention to detail in every aspect. |
