Zumwalt-Class Destroyers

At the Cutting Edge

The Zumwalt-class (DDG 1000) is the largest and most technologically advanced surface combatant in the world.

Zumwalt is the lead ship of a class of next-generation multi-mission destroyers designed to strengthen sea-borne naval power. The Zumwalt-class destroyer is capable of performing a range of deterrence, sea control, power projection and command and control missions while allowing the Navy to evolve with new systems and missions.

Advancing Naval Technology

Zumwalt is the lead ship of a class of next-generation multi-mission destroyers designed to strengthen sea-borne naval power.

DDG 1000 is a stealthy ship with a minimal radar signature, an intrinsically quiet tumblehome hull form and a wave-piercing bow. Advances proven out on DDG 1000 such as Electric Drive/Integrated Power Systems, ship control and damage control automation, a totally integrated, ship-wide command and control system, and low-observable topside designs are potentially applicable to other shipbuilding programs.
