mi: kiM USS BARRY (DDG 52) SHIP ' S MISSION BARRY is equipped with the most advanced Naval defense system in the world. AEGIS, a computerized, quick reaction air defense system, provides extraordinary capabilities against attacking aircraft and missies. The heart of the AEGIS system is the SPY-ID radar, which automatically detects virtually all air contacts out to and beyond 200 miles. BARRY also has the Navy ' s most advanced underwater surveillance system available today. Our antisubmarine ( ASW) triad consists of the hull mounted 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 Launch System can launch both long-range surface to surface and land attack TOMAHAWK cruise missiles, and the Standard surface to air missile. One forward 5 gv i mount is used threatening ships and boats or to bombard shore targets. Propelled by powerful, quick response gas turbine (jet) engines which allow BARRY to transit easily at speeds in excess of 30 knots, BARRY is an extremely capable warship. STRENGTH DIVERSITY
