General Characteristics and Role

The USS Barry (DDG-52) is an Arleigh Burke-class Flight I Aegis guided missile destroyer, currently in active service with the US Navy. She is named in honor of Commodore John Barry, the “Father of the American Navy.” As an Aegis destroyer, her primary role is to serve as a multi-mission surface combatant capable of Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW). The ship is built around the advanced Aegis Combat System, featuring the powerful AN/SPY-1D multi-function phased array radar, which allows her to track hundreds of targets simultaneously and provide comprehensive fleet defense.
