🇺🇸 DDG-1000 Zumwalt
Naval · General Dynamics Bath Iron Works / HII Ingalls (ABD 🇺🇸); silahlandırma Lockheed Martin (CPS) - köken: ABD · 2016 (DDG-1000); hipersonik refit 2026
A giant (~16,000 t) US destroyer with a tumblehome stealth hull and a radar signature the size of a fishing boat. Its 155 mm AGS guns were left without ammunition and removed; in their place 12 Mach 5+ Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) hypersonic missiles turn it into the Navy's first hypersonic-strike destroyer.

Beats: Type 055 Renhai (stealth/RKA gizliliği ve hipersonik ilk-vuruş hızında), Arleigh Burke (radar izi gizliliği ve gövde stealth'inde)
Loses to: Type 055 Renhai (VLS derinliği 112 vs 80 hücre, çok-rollü yük ve seri üretim sayısında), Arleigh Burke (maliyet-etkinlik, üretim adedi ve kanıtlanmış Aegis hava-savunma olgunluğunda)
A niche strike platform that slips in with its stealth hull and delivers a first-strike with 12 hypersonic missiles; low numbers and high cost make it an expensive trump card in a crowded fight.
