Auto Credit Based on CessnaIsCool's Naval Challenge!

Description could actually updated sometimes

Either to fix up some typos, mistyping, lack of words, or adding some new components


Patch 1.0

  • Increased the yaw power from 150 into 500, so the turning become even more maneuverable than the initial version which is kinda stiff.

Overview

The USS Philip Tarpley (Pennant Number DDG-151) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer of the United States Federation Navy. She is one of the escort vessels of the well known "Beast Fleet" Carrier Strike Group and the lead vessel of her main armada, the Destroyer Squadron "Tarpley Fleet".


Overview - Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer

The Arleigh Burke class of guided-missile destroyers (DDGs) is a United States Navy class of destroyers centered around the Aegis Combat System and the SPY-1D multifunction passive electronically scanned array radar. The class is named after Arleigh Burke, an American destroyer admiral in World War II and later Chief of Naval Operations. With an overall length of 505 to 509.5 feet (153.9 to 155.3 m), displacement ranging from 8,300 to 9,700 tons, and weaponry including over 90 missiles, the Arleigh Burke–class destroyers are larger and more heavily armed than many previous classes of guided-missile cruisers.

History

Jundroo lore

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyers were commonly used throughout the world in Jundroo universe but how far back their deployment goes is unknown.

It is the most large-scale type of guided-missile destroyer. Its main combat missions include defense of its own aircraft carrier groups.

USS Philip Tarpley (DDG-151)

USS Philip Tarpley was launched sometime around 1989, and commissioned by the United States Federation Navy in 1991.

Her service history however, remains unknown. At some point, she was assigned to the United States Federation battle group under the leadership of the USS Beast, which is stationed in the Wright Sea, along with her destroyer squadron fleet.

She is a part of the Beast Fleet carrier strike group escort fleet, and the lead vessel of both Beast escort fleet and Tarpley Fleet destroyer squadron. One of the notable Arleigh Burke-class destroyers of the US Federation Navy, the other known ship is USS Nathan Mikeska.

Trivia

  • This was supposed to be the revamped version of the in-game Guided-missile Destroyer. This revamped version is more accurately resembles the real world Arleigh Burke-class destroyer (this version is the Flight I variant) with VLS Launcher rather than loosely shaped Arleigh Burke-class with two cannons.

    • Literally, the usage of RIM-7 Sea Sparrow for the ship's rear air defense is to match with the in-game equivalent which has the rear AA missile launcher that resembles the RIM-7 Sea Sparrow SAM launcher.

  • The ship was named after one of the Jundroo's developer team, Philip Tarpley.
  • This destroyer ship is a full controllable conversion of my previously made Naval Target Destroyer Ship, making it as the second target ship to be converted into player-controllable version. The first one being the Slava-class Cruiser.

    @LunarEclipseSP it's fine, you're welcome, just don't mine me reminiscing a bit. With simpleplanes 2 now releasing, I'm barely able to keep up anymore. Because I haven't been online for a long time, things are getting kinda overwhelming...

    looking back, it's kinda crazy. I started first than you, but I simply gave up. Yet, you never did. You continued making amazing builds and all that to the point where you got platinum... while I'm still silver because I'm almost never active in simpleplanes anymore, both in the community and the game itself. A lot of things comes and passes nowadays.
