Chapman Posted October 10, 2023 #1 Posted October 10, 2023 Hello! I have a question Does anyone know what these equipment are called and what they are used for? These pieces of equipment are also available on the port side. Thanks Quote
mtaylor Posted October 10, 2023 #2 Posted October 10, 2023 Can you give us more a context maybe some more photos that are larger? From here it seems from the shape to be part of a winch or two.

Chapman Posted October 11, 2023 Author #3 Posted October 11, 2023 Hi Mark ! Unfortunately I don't have a larger photo and I can't search for it because I just don't have the right search terms. My assumption at the moment is that it may be a electronic defensive device. Joerg mtaylor 1 Quote
mtaylor Posted October 11, 2023 #4 Posted October 11, 2023 I took the liberty of enlarging what you posted as large as I could without loosing too much detail.... I'm not sure what this is now. They are boxy looking Almost seem to be two parts... upper and lower but other that, I have no idea.

ccoyle Posted October 11, 2023 #5 Posted October 11, 2023 I'm not seeing that equipment in other images. Since she has been in service for 36 years now, it's quite likely that her configuration has changed multiple times. You may need to narrow your search to a specific time period.

Chapman Posted October 15, 2023 Author #6 Posted October 15, 2023 Thanks! US and other nations' ships are constantly being upgraded with more modern equipment. That is also the case here. This particular device appears to be appearing in 2022. Some Arleigh Burkes have this or perhaps a little smaller on the outside of both Bridge wings. mtaylor 1 Quote
