Arleigh Burke vs Yamato: youtu.be/i286RkvOMLg
Can a futuristic battleship armed with hypersonic weapons, railguns and high-energy lasers defeat the legendary WWII battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz?
In this episode of our Modern vs WWII Naval Vessels series, we continue exploring how today's and tomorrow's naval technology compares against the most powerful warships ever built.
Previously, we examined how an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer armed with SM-2, SM-6 and Tomahawk missiles would fare against the heavily armoured Yamato. This time, we raise the stakes.
Our futuristic 35,000-ton Defiant/Trump-class battleship takes on the combined might of Bismarck and Tirpitz—over 100,000 tons of Kriegsmarine battleship firepower.
We'll examine:
Mach 5+ Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) hypersonic glide vehicles
Hypersonic naval railguns
Powerful 600 kW laser weapons
WWII battleship armour up to 14.2 inches thick
Modern kinetic energy vs traditional naval artillery
How hypersonic weapons compare with the devastating impact of WWII battleship shells
Can modern naval weapons penetrate the formidable armour of history's greatest battleships? Or does classic battleship protection still hold its own?
Join us as we compare modern naval warfare, WWII warships, hypersonic missiles, railguns, directed-energy weapons, and the future of battleship combat in this detailed military technology analysis.
If you enjoy naval history, military technology, warship comparisons, and realistic "what if" scenarios, don't forget to like, subscribe, and let us know what matchup you'd like to see next.
