I love the greyhound lines of the Burks!I love this silhouette of the USS Ramage (DDG 61).
Ramage is currently underway participating with the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group
USN Burke Class - News, Reports, Data, etc.

Amen to that. Greyhounds of the seas.
Burke ABM 2015
Yet 5 Ticonderoga also are ABM ships with 27 Burke Fl I/II USN have only existing ships modernised no new with this capacity for a total of 32 ABM ships.
Conversions completed no new Ticonderoga and Burke/Austin.
The first new will be the first re-start Burke, DDG-113, in fact a Fl IIA/Austin normaly in service in 2016 and after 10 FlI IIA and 3 Fl III yet ordered then ABM ships number growth from 32 to 45 for 2022 about.
Equiped with the new SM-3 block II/RIM-161D with a very improved range 1500 vs 700 km for SM-3 Block I/IA - RIM-161A/B and from 2016 the polyvalent SM-6 Dual I/RIM-174B SAM/ABM get a less long range vs BM 370 km but he is the SAM with the more long range never built !
No new ABM ship this year but some homeport changes about 3 :
Atlantic 16 : Norfolk 11( 2 Tico ), Mayport 1, Rota 4.
Pacific : 16 : S Diego 6 ( 1 ), P Harbor 4 (1 ), Yokosuka 6 ( 1 )

I skimmed thru the previous posts and didn't see these videos posted so I will add them here. This was the Aegis Modernization program which had been intended to keep the older Tico's and Burke's up to date. Aegis is another one of these systems that pushed the boundaries and one of the first where the key element is actually the software.
Here's some nice pics of the BMD launch by the USS Ross. First live fire Ballistic Missile shoot down (and it was successful) by one of the BMD AEGIS Burke in Europe:
1. Preparing to launch.
2.Initiaiting launch:
3. Missile away!
4. After launch:
5. Missile in the air on the way to intercept.

Here is my repost on BMD
Also note currently by end of 2015 there is 33 BMD warships
By 2020 this number will be 48
Splits as follows
27 for CVN escorts
4 for Spain based in Rota
11 for Pacific and Japan
That's 48 BMD by 2020 but that means 39 that are deployable
JMSDF has 6 x BMD warships soon adding 2 more to have 8, JMSDF has conducted 4 BMD exo-atmosphere tests 3 of them were successful
In total there has been a total of 33 exo atmosphere BMD tests of which were 27 successful or 81%
There has been 5 endo atmosphere tests all successful
Total tests is therefore 38 of which 32 are successful or 84%
In 2008 a satellite was also shot down off Hawaii so including that 39 tests 33 successful or 85%
