Stealth destroyer to be home for 1st hypersonic weapon on a US warship
SUMMARY: The U.S. is developing the “Conventional Prompt Strike” hypersonic weapon for the Zumwalt-class destroyers, enabling long-range strikes. Each ship will have 12 missiles, traveling at speeds seven to eight times the speed of sound. Despite criticism over its $7.5 billion cost and canceled gun system, the Zumwalt remains the Navy’s most advanced surface warship, featuring electric propulsion and stealthy design. The hypersonic weapons are costly, with $18 billion required for 300 units, but provide the ability to strike from thousands of kilometers away, making them a crucial national security priority, despite concerns over their cost-effectiveness.
