the british 4.5 also failed aginst argentian skyhawk even when they are armed with primitive weapons

Surprise surprise... you dont use a shred of proof or even examples off the top of your head to back up your gibberish.

Search for "Falklands war + 4.5 inch + exocet", or something along those lines.

personal insults are not allowed !!!

a 4.5 inch gun is very poor aginst aircraft low range,slow reaction time,low rate of fire you name it !!!!!!!!

one luck shell dose not equal to good weapon

the skyhawks had to dive bomb has they had nothing but iron bombs

If your 4.5 is so great why hasent it stop any attacker

if it fails aginst a subsonic aircraft then it has almost no chance aginst a 3 MACH missile

the sheffeild and coventry had 4.5 inchers and it did nothing to prevent argetine bombers from sinking them. HMS Antrim and Glamorgan also had 4.5 inchers, and were both damaged in the war by argentine aricraft.

Sovremenny class destroyers are "anti-surface combatant" and not an air-defense ship.

In comparison, the Kongo class destroyer is an air-defense AEGIS ship, built for theater missile defense role.

Neither ship has the armor plating that WW2-era ships did. As matter of fact, the Japanese Kongo class destroyer was built to merchant (civian) specs and not MIL-Spec to reduce cost.

A direct hit from couple of AShM's on either one of them would probably mission-kill it.

The best navy right now in Asia is definitely Japan. Japan has the most modern ships. The second in rank is India which has a more ships than any others country in Asia. China and South Korea tie on third.

Japan is definately at 1st .

2nd Position goes to India and China both , India due its two two ACs (2nd is going to join by 2007) and China due to large nos of ships and subs !!!

I thought that the 52C and Burkes were built out of Steel, instead of aluminum :confused:

I'm not sure about the 052C, but yes, the Arleigh Burke DDG's were built with RCS reduction and all-steel hull, taking lessons from the Falklands. The better construction is probably what saved the USS Cole from sinking:

But as you can see, a bomb or a AShM warhead will still blow a hole through it.

how can we about missile without taking into consideration their range. :)
here is my comical view:

Kongo would already be under fire before it manage to get in range and
the Sovremenny would have escape from battle after it lanuch all its missiles.
i don't believe either will be successful at killing each other.

it is like 1 person is carrying a shotgun and the other a sniper with 8 bullets.
if the 8 bullet is neutralized by aegis, the rifleman is deadmeat and will runoff
before the shotgunner get in range to pump him full of lead! :p

so the BVR ability of the Sovremenny is extremely important faction.
if the shotgunner get close to the sinper before he can see = dead sinper... :p
