The DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer is a USN programme to develop a series of next-generation multi-role battleships for the 21st century. They were designed to host the latest in sensors and weapons and meet the late-1990s/early 2000s obsession with stealth as the next game-changer on the battlefield. The class was planned to have 32 ships, but delays and huge cost increases meant the programme was curtailed at three ships. Two have entered service, while the third is completing sea
trials.
