USS Roosevelt (DDG-80) is one of 65 destroyers in active service belonging to the Arleigh Burke class. Units of this type were designed, were and are built as multi-purpose destroyers, in which, however, special emphasis was placed on combating air targets. The British experience of the Falkland War was used in the construction of these ships, as a result of which Kevlar armour was added to the most vital parts of this class of ships. At the same time, Arleigh Burke ships have a revolutionary network battle system AEGIS, working with the AN / SPY-1 radar, which provides them with unprecedented possibilities of controlling airspace and combating air targets. This is the same system that is used on Ticonderoga cruisers. One of the units of this class is the USS Roosevelt (DDG-80). The ship was built at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi. It was constructed in the Flight IIA standard, which means that compared to the Flight I standard it has a more spacious VLS launcher, the 127 mm gun barrel has been extended, thanks to which its ballistic properties have improved and it has more modern electronic equipment. USS Roosevelt was active in the Horn of Africa in 2006. In 2011, he operated in the area of responsibility of the V and VI Fleet of the United States. In 2014, he was active in the Mediterranean.
