Jack H. Lucas
, an
Arleigh-Burke-class
Flight III guided-missile destroyer
guided-missile destroyer
DDG
) is a
destroyer
whose primary armament is
guided missiles
so they can provide
anti-aircraft warfare
screening
for the fleet. Most modern destroyers are of the guided-missile type, and they are widely deployed by advanced navies; in particular, the
Arleigh Burke-class
guided-missile destroyer is the most numerous class of warship in the
US Navy
Guided-missile destroyers are equipped with large missile magazines, with modern examples typically having
vertical-launch cells
. Some contain integrated weapons systems, such as the United States’
Aegis Combat System
, and may be adopted for use in an
anti-missile or ballistic-missile defense
role. This is especially true for navies that no longer operate
cruisers
, so other vessels must be adopted to fill in the gap.
Many guided-missile destroyers are also multipurpose vessels, equipped to carry out
anti-surface
operations
with
surface-to-surface missiles
and
naval guns
, and
anti-submarine warfare
with torpedoes and helicopters.
The NATO standard designation for these vessels is
DDG
, while destroyers which have a primary gun armament or a small number of anti-aircraft missiles sufficient only for point-defense are designated
DD
. Nations vary in their use of destroyer
designation in their hull pennant numbering, either prefixing or dropping it altogether.
