USS WINSTON S CHURCHILL..ARLEIGH BURKE CLASS DESTROYER.

The mission of the USS WINSTON S. CHURCHILL (DDG-81) is to be prepared to conduct prompt combat operations at sea. DDG-81 is equipped to operate in a high density, multi-threat environment either independently or as an integral member of a Carrier Battle Group or a Surface Action Group. In addition to self-defence capabilities in Air Warfare (AW), Surface Warfare (SW), and Undersea Warfare (USW), WINSTON S. CHURCHILL can effectively provide local area protection to other ships in a battle group. WINSTON S. CHURCHILL is the most sophisticated and capable surface combatant ever built. DDG-81 employs an AN/SPY-1D phased array radar, which incorporates significant advances in the detection capabilities of the AEGIS Weapon System, particularly in resistance to enemy electronic countermeasure (ECM). Using the SPY-1D and the MK 99 Fire Control System, WINSTON S. CHURCHILL can guide vertically launched missiles at extended ranges. To provide point defence against hostile air targets, WINSTON S. CHURCHILL is equipped with the PHALANX Close-In Weapons System (CIWS).
