US Navy Cruiser shows off its firepower [video]

Posted by / November 26, 2015

Prepare to be amazed. Even though you can’t really see the guns firing––bullets are fast, after all––you can hear them. The sound of war is downright terrifying.

Full story at YouTube.

More great military vids.

    Dum asses lets just show the world what we have so they know

  • That ain’t nuthin…….I have most of that stuff too in my gun closet! 😉

  • Every 5th round, is a tracer. So you can see the force of the firings of the guns. Kind of expensive firing brass rounds? Can be used to help the homeless veterans, rather than just killing fish.

    God Bless the United States Navy!!

    Deadly force is defined as that amount of force which you know or should know is likely to cause death or serious bodily harm. It’s use is justified only in case of extreme necessity, as a last resort, when lessor means have failed or cannot reasonably be employed.

  • Russia is a near broke nation…do they have the $ to put fuel in their ships ? Their sea ports are frozen over 9 months of the year where much of their fleet lays rusted in years past.

  • is that a toy?

  • rupert

    Now we’re talking! That would be a terror to come up against.

    Just remember china these boys will send your sorry communist pagan souls straight to the bottom!(And they wont think twice about it!)Keep your rice eating rearends in your own backyard.

  • need a ship that fires back and armored at least 2ft thick, all automatic for attack and testing our ships can take a blast and keep on coming

  • mike mcdaniels

    Poor antique, wait’n for that Chinese missile.

  • It’s real life world of warships

  • Pretty Pathetic if you ask me, the chaps down at the shooting range down the block make more noise. If you want to see awe check out a battleship or cruiser firing its guns

  • John Greve

    No comparison to WW2, All bark and no bite!

    This technically is not a warship. This is a frigate. Primary purpose is destroyer protection. The community organizer in chief has eliminated frigates from the Navy. Every single frigate in the Navy has been decommissioned since 2009. This is not a recent video.

    WW11 ships were more powerful. This boat wasn’t impressive, Small cannons and machine guns. Big deal.
    one cruise missile and the ship is gone!

  • Bart

    All I saw was smoke. Not impressed

  • Ships today have to be more efficient and cost effective or they could send us into bankruptcy.The “Mighty Mo” was an awesome weapons platform but the cost of manning and maintaining it would be almost prohibitive.The weapons of our adversaries would make short work of the mighty battleship.Not saying it would not put up a good fight but it would need some very costly upgrades.Damn,I miss those days.America still has the ability to build the best weapons but they refuse to put them to good use.

  • Very impressive to someone that knows nothing about warfare at sea.

    WHAT A WASTE OF OUR TAXPAYERS MONEY

  • Come on, it’s not to crusiers guns that make it powerful, it’s all the missles

  • Too slow I think. Gatling guns or Close-in Weapons Systems CIWS is faster and could hit an insect flying miles away hehehehe. Statement like a joke but it is true.

  • Sounds like Gatling guns CIWS Close in Weapons Systems.

  • Jughead

    My Girl has bigger Guns!

  • CHUKALUKABUS – It is NOT a frigate. It is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser. How do I know this? Well, gee, probably because I spent 2 1/2 years on one – the USS MOBILE BAY (CG-53).

  • Bear in mind haters, that this merely one ship out of many in a task force. And when DEW’s come online in the next couple of years NO hostile missile (or projectile) will be able to get within line of site of said task forces. IE the gun and missile days are just about over. They’re already rigging the Gerald Ford to be able to take out objects IN ORBIT with directed energy weapons. Wrap your pinheads around that for a second. We are less than a decade of being able to take out an object orbiting our planet from the deck of a warship! Also, all those pricey MIRV warheads sitting in silos will be as useless as turds in punchbowls. This is partly what has Putin scared enough to “accidentally” release the info of his Dr. Evil nuclear torpedo toy on state sponsored TV. But I’m pretty sure we’ve got an answer to those as well…And it involves dampening fields. If it runs on electricity, it won’t run if electricity doesn’t work, will it? 😉
