Part 1: youtu.be/Rkp5TjCMZXY
In Part 2 of our Entire US Navy vs Combined European Navies trilogy, we use the Sea Power naval warfare simulator to examine one of the biggest modern military questions: who would win a surface fleet battle between the United States Navy and the combined navies of Europe?
The US fleet deploys 75 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and 7 Ticonderoga-class cruisers, combining long-range strike capability with powerful air and missile defence. American forces attack with Tomahawk cruise missiles and defend using SM-2, SM-3, SM-6, and ESSM missile systems.
Europe responds with a multinational fleet of 123 frigates and destroyers from the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Turkey, Romania, and Poland. European warships employ a diverse arsenal including Naval Strike Missiles (NSM), Exocet, Otomat, RBS-15, and Harpoon anti-ship missiles, supported by Aster, ESSM, SM-2, RIM-7, and RAM defensive systems.
After Part 1's naval aviation contest, the focus now shifts to surface combat. Can the numerical and technological strength of the US Navy overcome the combined firepower of Europe's fleets, or will European cooperation prove decisive?
Watch the full simulation to find out who dominates this modern naval war scenario.
