  • Kidd Class vs Sovremmeney Class

    I was reading an interesting article about the KIDD class on FAS, I was wandering how it stacks up to the Sovremmeny Class?

    I think Taiwan aquired the KIDDs, and the Chinese have a few Sovremmenys.

    The Kidd(NTU) is a superior warship in nearly every possible way.

                        According to that Link u sent me before, the Kidd's were built before/during the Iranian revolution in 1979

                          Oh, I see. I thought that they will be buying a newly built ones or something.

                          After your post I've found that they are buying Kidd, Callaghan, Scott and Chandler.

                          Those are very old. Maybe not very, but old.

                            According to FAS, they have all been decommissioned already.

                              The Kidd's were designed as multirole warships and have MUCH better AAW capability than the Sovremney after the NTU update.

                              Given the Kidd's capacity of 68 SM-2MR(70 mile range) missiles, and inner defenses of 2 Phalanx and 5" guns, a Kidd is far more likely to survive an attack against 8 Sunburns than a Sovremney is against 68 SM-2MR's and 8 Harpoons...

                              Kidd has vastly better ECM/ECCM and much, much better sonar.

                              Even today Kidd's are among the most powerful warships afloat. The Chinese have no counter for them in the Strait.
