Does the Rajput Class destroyers pack more firepower than the Soverenemy 956EM? How about the Arleigh Burke? How would you guys rate those three (no doubt the three most powerful anti-ship ships in the world) exclusively in the area of anti-ship capability?

First of all, AB could in theory have 56 Tomahawk launched. And if equipped with the Harpoons, it could direct the movement of the Harpoons. Harpoon are not necessarily fire and forget type of missiles. So in effect, that more than make the speed and range deficiencies it has. Also, in terms of sensor and guidance of the missiles, you can expect AB to have by far the best. Therefore, it has to be the one with the most punch.

To Jatt, am I missing something here?

"The forward P-20M missile cells (port and starboard) aboard INS Rajput have been replaced with two boxed launchers housing four PJ-10 (BrahMos) ASCMs."
First of all, are each of the launchers equipped with quadriple tubes? If so, isn't that still just 8 that you can fire at once?

Anyhow, my view is that if you compare just the fire power of upgraded Rajput with the 956E, Rajput probably gets better due to the range of Brahmos. But if compared to 956EM, it will loose out due to the extended sea-skimming range of Sunburn and more importantly better C&C + radar. After all, Rajput is a smaller ship, so the radar and command center you can put on it is not the same as what you can put on 956

Its romured that the range of the next Moskit is 220 KM. But weather its sea-skimming or high altitude remainst to be seen. So don't hold your breath.;)
And of course the Sovernmey has a better C&C because it is a newer design. But a Rajput upgraded would still be a foating bucket loaded with heavy firepower. The upgrade is slow. I'm speculating that the other Rajputs are being upgraded with VLS Barhmos. After all they have to be somewhere.
I figure the PLAN is paying a hefty billion for Sovernmeys while the InN gets these upgrades at a quarter or less.
And as for your question they will be fitted by removing a Styx cell and replacing it with 2 Barhmos. Do that to all for and you get 8 inclined Barhmos. Remove the Goa launchers and replace them with 8 VLS Barhmos. Total is 16.

lol, that's exactly why I don't see China purchasing any more sovernmey. Actually, PLAN has also went on quite an upgrade program some of the older DDGs. Many of them are using YJ-83 launchers and HHQ-7 for self defense now.

jingnans getting relocated, so it can perform as well as any japanese or sk shipyard. soon, monster sized 52ds will be rolling out. dalian is not making cruisers. the 51cs are only a little over 7000 tons, making them destroyers. the only "cruiser" in dalian is varyag.

Hi guys,

Pakistan has almost a non-existant surface fleet.They have suddenly decided to go for Spruance class DDG. Now this beast is quite bigger than anything that PNS has in their inventory. It's primary role was escorting carrier group in anti-submarine role and then later on Tomahawk were added. It can house 61 tomahawks. pakistan will most likely arm it with babur cruise missle and there is talk of involving Navy into second launch nuclear capability.

How do you guys rate this ship??and what would be implications for Indian navy?

it definitely provides PN with a nice platform to counter the growing IN sub threat. The VLS definitely gives PN a change to launch a lot of harpoons. Good acquisition for sure.
