Composite superstructures for the world's largest destroyer

摘要

The Zumwalt (DDG-1000) is the lead ship of a new generation of destroyers for the US Navy, costing US$ 4 billion (per unit). Two more vessels of this type will be built: the Michael Monsoor and the Lyndon B. Johnson. The world's largest destroyer, this new ship is radar transparent and its cannons can reach targets 160 km away. Built by Bath Ironworks, part of General Dynamics, the Zumwalt, named after Admiral Elmon Zumwalt (1900-2000), was christened on 12 April 2014 at Bath Ironworks in Bath, Maine.
