Tertarik membuat trit ini karena banyak pemahaman tentang klasifikasi Kapal perang yang berbeda. nah sebelum mendiskusikan lebih banyak,saya akan memulai dari pembahasan klasifikasi kapal perang yang dianut oleh:

1. Amerika Serikat
2. Inggris
3. Rusia
4.dll (proyek jangka panjang negara lain)

dan kemudian bisa dilanjutkan ke pembahasan kategori TNI AL. dan dapat membagi bagi kearah mana kah KRI kita dikategorikan.
kata kunci untuk membagi kategori kapal adalah:
1.panjang kapal
2.fungsi kapal
3.persenjataan

mohon bagi formiler:
1.baca ROE sblm posting.
2.jgn nyampah atau jadi troll disini
3.klo mau berbagi foto tolong di "spoiler" dan kasi judul

Terima kasih selamat menikmati

Klasifikasi Kapal Perang Amerika Serikat

Pada tahun 1975 US Navy mengklasifikasi ulang kapal perangnya. Ini untuk merespon "Gap cruiser" yang hanya ada dikertas ketika membandingkan angkatan laut Soviet dan US. Penyebab utama pengklasifikasian ini karena klasifikasi cruiser di AL soviet berbeda dengan AL amerika. di AL amerika ,cruiser adalah kapal bersar,lebih kecil dari Battleship,tetapi didesain untuk berperang digaris depan. Soviet mengklasifikasikan cruieser sebagai "small escort vessel"

Diatas kertas,Soviet memiliki lebih banyak "cruisers" daripada yang dimiliki Amerika,tetapi karena perbedaan besar dan kapabilitas kapal diantara kedua negara maka sebenarnya tidak ada gap. walau bagaimanapun juga,AL Amerika merasa perlu untuk mengklasifikasikan ulang kapal mereka supaya dapat menganalisa serta membandingkan kekuatan dengan armada Soviet.

a. Kategori Kapal perang Amerika saat ini:
1. Aircraft Carriers allowing the mobile projection of Naval Air Power across the globe.

2.Amphibious Assault Shipsdeploy and support U.S. ground forces in remote locations

3. Cruisersmulti-mission warships capable of engaging multiple simultaneous targets and employed in force support or independent action

4. Littoral Combat Ships fast, agile, focused-mission platform designed for operation in near-shore environments yet capable of open-ocean operation.

5. Destroyersfast warships providing multi-mission offensive and defensive capability, independently or in fleet support

6.Frigateswarships designed to protect other ships and as anti-submarine warfare combatants

7. Submarinescapable of underwater operations and designed to carry out research, rescue, or specific wartime missions
