Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Main armament

Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.

1× 127 mm naval gun
VLS cells

Vertical-launch missile cells on a warship — a proxy for magazine depth. Higher means more missiles before rearming.

32
Stronger than 50% of warships
Torpedo tubes

Number of torpedo tubes (submarines and some surface ships).

4
Stronger than 28% of warships

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Length

Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.

146.8 m

Naval

Displacement, speed, endurance and diving depth.

Displacement

Standard displacement in tonnes — the ship’s size class. Larger hulls carry more but cost more and are less agile.

6,089 t
Full-load displacement

Displacement fully loaded with fuel, stores and munitions.

6,250 t
Max speed

Top speed in knots (surfaced, for submarines). Higher aids positioning and screening.

25 kn
Stronger than 16% of warships
Range

Cruising range in nautical miles. Nuclear vessels are effectively unlimited (fuel-wise). Higher means more reach without replenishment.

8,000 nmi
Stronger than 79% of warships
Complement

Radar

Primary radar. AESA (active electronically scanned array) is the current state of the art.

SPY-7 (V)1 phased-array radar

Program
