Why the USS Zumwalt Seems To Be Such a Dangerous Ship

In today’s session, we will discuss why the USS Zumwalt seems to be such a dangerous ship? If you are curious on the answer, stay tuned and watch this video till the end!

With the ship's operation costs almost 7.5 billion dollars, and each missile it shoots costs more than $800,000 per round, it can be guessed that this is not ordinary ship isn’t it? indeed, it is the guided-missile destroyers currently classified as Zumwalt-Class. Each of these ships is designed to carry out stealth missions, with a focus on land strikes. The ship may also undertake anti-air warfare, surface-level combat, and naval support missions.

Some one in the US Navy watched an episode of Battlestar Galactica and decided to base a warship on that technology, not realizing that the show is science-fiction.

The Zumwalt belongs to a new class of Guided Missile Destroyers. Experts call them the Misguided Missile Destroyers.

What these ships need is a red Cylon eye in the bridge windows.

[critiqueoflife]

I know why it is so dangerous! Just a couple of these ships can sink the entire Navy budget!

[lusqwerty]

Its so stealthy and so dangerous only 3 were seen the other 100 zumwalt class ship was so stealthy and dangerous america would not dare show where their other 100 ships that is build. Even the US Navy cannot locate them because its so stealthy. Its Artificial Intelligence is so smart it would not dare reveal itself nor its location

Looking back on the history of destroyers, they used to be called torpedo boat destroyers. Which is exact what their function was. Then they eventually took on rule of torpedo boats by being equipped with torpedoes. Then they became fleet screens and anti-air defense. Now destroyers are jack of all traits. With the Zumwalt class Destroyers, seeing it capabilities. I have a feeling they will be living up to their names as Destroyers. Emphasis on the word destroy.

The AGS has been abandoned Due to the cost exceeding $1, 000, 000 per round. The materials used for the superstructure was changed in the last of the class, to a more standard material, again due to the cost.

[xanderunderwoods]

Seeing this ship up close made me realized that it is much more powerful than the public is being told

[ThatCarGuy]

This and the AB class destroyer are both fighting to be the best destroyer in the world.

[lastsinner]

I swear they look like a unique but updated version of the U-boats!

[ochat]

Its like someone read a Yahoo article from 5 years ago

[ProperLogicalDebate]

Can it only be fired at a target valued greater than $800, 000? How many of those are around?

[shivangrai]

He: why zumwalt is so dangerous ship?
Me: it's cost...

[worldofdoom]

We need an amendment for the navy to have to integrate a minimum of ships they order. Nearly ten billion and they end up mothballed? Give me a break.

[ricsonescalicas]

I don't know but I think their stealthiness is somehow useless due to military satellites tracking them above just like when nuclear-powered submarines rise up.

[Tricky]

Wasn't the ammunition for the guns scraped?

[viaprenestina]

Zumwalt is the typical military disaster. Luckily, the programme has been scrapped

[Jake-rsnq]

It's such a cool ship. It just doesn't have any weapons, lol

[georgieippolito]

lazer weapons is all you need to know. its its nearly impossible to escape the speed of light unless you have a flying saucer and element 115. you'll be surprised what that element can do

[frutbum]

Too bad it has no ammo. Cutbacks can't fund the $800K - $1M per round price tag.
