Star Blazers Kidd 2nd version

[jandysanchez]

I know your theme song.

One of my favorite when I was a kid. Thanks

[woofdogmeow]

i remember when she was queen of the persian gulf. she would escort us thruogh the straits of hormuz and keep the iranians out of our hair. the ironic thing is if iran hadn't gone nuts they would have the kidd class as the shah was the one who ordered yhem for the iranian navy. i hope she serves Taiwan as well as she served the USA

So, just wonder, whatis the address of your blog ?????

[huhuoc]

why chinese tAIPEI NAVY mv HAS JAPS SONGS????

I LIKE JAP AV BUT CAN WE HAVE OTHER MUSICS HUHU

[Mecca4BA]

That's really cute... I was actually stationed on that ship in Norfolk back in the early 90's.

No Tomahawks... Harpoons, though cool, are pretty much useless these days.

Kidd was (and probably still is) and antisubmarine ship too. There's a torpedo room on either side.

[testbooster]

back in the 80's i was stationed at 32st naval

base and saw the Taiwan navy pull in and I was very impressed you couldn't walk 10ft on the deck of any Taiwan ship without running into a weapons system. If the Chinese decide to attack Taiwan they will sink so many chinese ships that you will be able to walk from china to Taiwan

very good

Great video.

The Kidds are superior to the Sovremennys.

1) Kidd has superior ASW.

2) Kidd carries 67 SM-2 missiles with 150-km range, whereas the Sovremenny only carries 48 Gadfly missiles with 80-km range.

3) Kidd can carry 12 HF-3 antiship missiles, which are equal to or superior to the Sunburn missile. The Sovremenny carries only 8 Sunburns.

[catman351]

Aren't these Kidds still Harpoon capable? Or am I stuck back in the 80's? How about Tomohawks?

[RedFoxAce]

I'm not entirely sure. Right now, of course, the Kidds carry 8 RGM-84 Harpoons. But Taiwan had planned to fit them with HF-3s, (a dozen per ship supposedly,) and I'm not sure about those plans being carried out yet. I do know that the Perrys have HF-3s now.

As for Tomahawk, the anti-ship version was long ago retired, 1980s I think....

[IronJackalTw]

RedFoxAce, Tomahawk missiles are only for AEGIS destroyers! Tomahawk missiles are make to fly low from sea to shore and then further in-land and blow up some fixed land targets into SHIT!!

[lordoflivernois]

Your wrong, Although the Kidd Did NOT carry Tamahawks., The Spruance class destroyers did. And also the Ticondoroga class cruisers.

I served aboard the kidd from 1994 to 1998.

[miinchao]

Kidd can be fitted with Tomohawks, but Americans disable it. It's very likely it will be fited with HF-2E in the near future. It is a Taiwanese version of Tomohawk.

[RedFoxAce]

Kidds carrying land attack missiles?

[tdma800]

these kidds vs the new russian sovernney's that china bought,i wonder which would win

[IronJackalTw]

tdma800, neither would win, Harpoon missiles on a few squadron of F-18s would always win hands down! Of course, Taiwan put Harpoon missiles on our F-16s, but I wonder if they work as well as the F-18s! Maybe, they can put Harpoon missiles on AH-1Ws as well!!

[a19761019]

go go Taiwan navy

[lordoflivernois]

Wow... you made my day! As a member of the Decom crew and last man off of DDG-993 im so happy to see her being put to good use.. bravo zulu and a job well done!

[catman351]

The Taiwanese Navy must be proud to have these four "Ayatollah Class" DDG's in their fleet. And the Yamato/Starblazer's theme? Perfecto!

[LordBicen]

Having Served in the U.S. Navy, and Growing up with Starblazers on t.v. I take a Bow to you Sir, And snap you a Salute! Well Done video, And speaks to the Spirit of the Navy traditions reguardless of nation. Two Thumbs Up!

[DarthAverage]

The music was so perfect for "Yamato/Star Blazers"...

[st7860]

the KIDD class cruisers are great

[ForeverPolaris]

Keep up the good work man... nice vid
