Barry ' s History Barry (DDG 52), the fourth ship in the United States Navy named after Captain Barry, is the second ship in the ARLEIGH BURKE Class of AEGIS guided missile destroyers and the first built by Ingalls Shipbuilding of Pascagoula, Mississippi. Her construction began on March 13, 1989; she was launched on May 10, 1991, and christened on June 8, 1991 by her sponsor, Mrs. Rose Cochran, wife of United States Senator Thad Cochran. BARRY served off Haiti in Operation Support Democracy in the Fall of 1 993 prior to her first deployment in 1994. The ship has won the Battle Efficiency Award, all departmental awards, and the NEY Award for 1994. Ship ' s Mission BARRY is equipped with the most advanced naval weapons systems in the world. AEGIS, a computerized, quick reaction, air defense system, provides extraordinary capabilities against attacking aircraft and missiles. The heart of the AEGIS system is the SPY radar which automatically detects and tracks virtually everything that is flying out to and beyond 200 miles. BARRY also has the most advanced underwater surveillance sys- tem available today. Our trio of antisubmarine warfare (ASW) equipment consists of a hull monitored sonar, an acoustic array sonar, which is towed like a tail behind the ship, and a helicopter data link which can receive information on the location of submarines and surface ships miles away. BARRY ' S Vertical Launching System can launch both long-range surface-to-surface and land attack TOM AH A WK cruise missile and the Standard surface-to-air missile. One forward 5 gun mount is used against threatening ships and boats to bombard shore targets. Propelled by powerful, quick response gas turbine (jet) engines to speeds in excess of 30 knots, BARRY is a diverse and extremely capable warship. Ship ' s History and Mission 3 , I
