BARRY is equipped with the most advanced naval weapons systems in the world. AEGIS, a computerized, quick reaction, air defense system, provides extraordinary capabilities against attacking aircraft and missiles. The heart of the AEGIS system is the AN/SPY-1D radar which automatically detects and tracks virtually everything that is flying, out to and beyond 200 miles.
BARRY also has the most advanced underwater surveillance system available today. Our suite of antisubmarine warfare (ASW) equipment consists of a hull mounted sonar, an acoustic array 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 Launching System can launch long-range land attack TOMAHAWK cruise missile and the Standard surface-to-air missile. One forward 5"/54 Caliber gun mount is used against threatening ships and boats or to bombard shore targets.
Propelled by powerful, quick response gas turbine (jet) engines to speeds in excess of 30 knots, BARRY is a diverse and extremely capable warship.
BARRY (DDG-52), the fourth ship in the United States Navy named after Captain Barry, is the second in the ARLEIGH BURKE class of AEGIS guided missile destroyers and the first built by Ingalls Shipbuilding of Pascagoula, Mississippi. Her construction began on March 13, 1989; she was launched on May 10, 1991, and christened on June 8, 1991 by her sponsor, Mrs. Rose Cochran, wife of United States Senator Thad Cochran. Assigned to the GEORGE WASHINGTON Joint Task Group, BARRY's first operational deployment was to Haiti for Operation Support Democracy. Her first Mediterranean Sea deployment was in 1994.
