Here we see four Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyers, USS Dewey (DDG 105), USS Sterett (DDG 104), USS Mustin (DDG 89) and USS Stethem (DDG 63) steaming together at the conclusion of exercise Valiant Shield in U.S. 7th Fleet. You are looking at four advanced 5-inch guns, nearly 400 VLS cells, and a quartet of the most advanced sonar and radar suites in the world. Not quite as heavily armed as the four Ticos in the same exercise I posted last week, but not bad for 9200-ton “destroyers.”
