Wafu Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi all,  General question, what USN ship has the Phalanx installed on the quarter deck OR on the aft of the ship. Oh by the way, the ship needs to have a flightdeck😉  Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our Ned Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Fitted towards the stern: CVs, CVNs, Knox class FFs, Oliver Hazard Perry class FFGs, LCCs, LHAs, LHDs. LPHs (only after upgrades, in some of these types) Note that, in the US Navy, the quarterdeck is the part of the upper deck of a ship reserved for official ceremonies and as the station of the officer of the deck in port (eg in many ships it is amidships, and not, as in the Royal Navy, the upper deck at the after end of the ship).

Wafu Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Thanks for the information. I didn’t know that there was a difference in naming the aft section of a USN ship to a RN ship, everyday is a school day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our Ned Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 The usual USN term for what the RN calls the quareterdeck is "fantail". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
