The USS Ted Stevens (DDG 128) is the newest destroyer in the US Navy, and she carries 96 missile cells, a 5-inch gun, a Phalanx CIWS and the new SPY-6 radar. But she does not have the newest gun in the fleet: the 30mm Mark 38 Mod 4 that only the USS Mustin carries so far. In this video we go through every weapon on the US Navy’s newest Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, from the .50 caliber machine guns to the Tomahawk and Standard missiles.
