Fiche
Pertinence pour les conflits
Ceci est la fiche unique du catalogue pour ce système. Il est pertinent pour le module ci-dessous ; le Force Atlas de chaque module montre comment il y est employé.
Opérateurs
The United States in the Gulf: The Fifth Fleet's principal surface combatants, rotating through the theatre from other fleets.
Rôle sur le champ de bataille
Air and missile defence at sea and for the coast behind it, surface warfare, strike, and the escort and interdiction tasks of a fleet in a narrow sea.
Points forts
The Aegis system's proven ballistic-missile intercepts, deep magazines by the standards of any regional navy, and a class large enough that ships can be rotated through a long campaign.
Limites
Magazine depth is finite and reloading requires leaving station; the ships are expensive answers to cheap drones, which is the cost asymmetry of every Red Sea engagement; and their presence in the Gulf depends on a strait they must transit. Hulls, numbers and dispositions are not recorded.
Emploi documenté dans les conflits
Red Sea engagements against Houthi missiles and drones from November 2023; intercepts of Iranian ballistic missiles fired at Israel in April 2024; the 2026 maritime interdiction reported by CENTCOM.
