The Mahan-Class refers to a series of guided-missile destroyers built for the United States Navy. Named after the naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan, these ships are designed for multi-mission capabilities, including anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine warfare. They are equipped with advanced radar and weapon systems, making them versatile assets in modern naval operations. The class includes several ships, with the first commissioned in the late 1990s. The Mahan-Class destroyers are part of the larger Arleigh Burke-Class family, which emphasizes flexibility and survivability. Their design allows for upgrades and modifications to keep pace with evolving threats in maritime security.
