Navy ship at high speed making a hard left turn. This was filmed around August 11, 2007, just off the coast of Norfolk, from the flight deck of the Eisenhower.
I served onboard the USS Barry (DDG-52) for nearly three years. I remember the ship making lots of hard turns like this one. I enjoyed my time onboard Barry and videos like this one bring back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing.

I was on the USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) and I remember sitting in the covered structure outside the skin of the ship during one of these exercises. My buddy and I watched as the wake curved and eventually turned into a U. It was amazing to experience. Those ships are huge, but they are capable of amazing maneuvers. I was always proud of my ship and her crew, but I was never more proud than in that moment.

A traditional/standard breakaway would have had them accelerating, then setting a diverging course. An emergency breakaway would have had them accelerating RAPIDLY, then maneuvering once the were well clear of the oiler's bow.

@IJN Yamato Go to General Dynamics website and make out an application for Bath Iron Works, there was a pause in the Arleigh Burke-class while the Zumwalt class was getting off the ground but the Arleigh Burke-class is much more affordable (so say taxpayers) so they are building them again. I got to meet Arleigh Burke at B.I.W. when he toured his namesake ship that we were constructing at the time before he died. That was cool!! It's a job and you tend to lose sight of the awesomeness after you've worked on 30+ of them but when you see them go down the river for delivery or see them patrolling the world's oceans you do get a huge sense of pride that, hey, I helped build that thing.

Clearly you've never had fun. To be able to perform like this is vital to the survival of the ship in combat situations. The best way to ensure that the ship and crew are capable of performing such a hard turn at speed is to practice it over and over again. Seemed to me like exactly the right time and place to do it, and impress the pants off a group of lucky citizens whose taxes help ensure that the US has an efficient navy.

U just gotta love an Arleigh Burke- Class Guided Class Missile Destroyer. One of THE most beautiful and lethal machines ever conceived, designed and built by mankind. Every time I see one of these beautiful ships, United State National Pride runs through my veins.

1969-1970 Aboard the Tin Can USS Charles P. Cecil DD-835 as a Boiler technician. Times sure have changed. I was young then, now age 73. Truly proud I served! T.C.
