The Zumwalt class destroyer is a class of United States Navyguided missile destroyers designed as multi mission stealth ships with a focus on land attack. The class emerged from the DD 2. DDX. The class is multi role and designed for surface warfare, anti aircraft warfare, and naval gunfire support. They take the place of battleships in filling the former congressional mandate for naval fire support,1. The vessels appearance has been compared to that of the historic USS Monitorironclad warship. The class has a low radar cross section, an integrated power system that can send electricity to the electric drive motors or weapons, the Total Ship Computing Environment Infrastructure TSCEI,1.

The class is designed to require a smaller crew and be less expensive to operate than comparable warships. It has a wave piercingtumblehome hull form whose sides slope inward above the waterline, which has been stated to reduce the radar cross section RCS by returning much less energy than a conventional flare hull form. The U. S. Naval Institute stated the original design of the ship would have had a much smaller RCS, but cost considerations prompted the Navy over the last several years to make the trades in increasing RCS to save money. The lead ship is named Zumwalt for Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, and carries the hull number DDG 1. Originally 3. 2 ships were planned, with 9. As costs overran estimates, the quantity was reduced to 2.

In April 2. 01. 6, the total program cost was 2. HistoryeditBackground and fundingeditMany of the features were developed under the DD 2. Century Destroyer, which was originally designed around the Vertical Gun for Advanced Ships VGAS. In 2. 00. 1, Congress cut the DD 2. SC2. 1 program to save it, the acquisition program was renamed as DDX and heavily reworked. Originally, the Navy had hoped to build 3. That number was reduced to 2. On 2. 3 November 2. Defense Acquisition Board approved a plan for simultaneous construction of the first two ships at Northrop Grummans Ingalls yard in Pascagoula, Mississippi and General Dynamics Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. However, at that date, funding had yet to be authorized by Congress. In late December 2. House and Senate agreed to continue funding the program. The U. S. House of Representatives allotted the Navy only enough money to begin construction on one destroyer, as a technology demonstrator. The initial funding allocation was included in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2. However, this was increased to two ships by the 2. September 2. 00. 6, which allotted US2. DDG 1. 00. 0 program. On 3. 1 July 2. 00. U. S. Navy acquisition officials told Congress that the service needed to purchase more Arleigh Burke classdestroyers, and no longer needs the next generation DDG 1. Only the two approved destroyers would be built. The Navy said the world threat picture had changed in such a way that it now makes more sense to build at least eight more Burkes, rather than DDG 1. The Navy concluded from fifteen classified intelligence reports that the DDG 1. Many Congressional subcommittee members questioned that the Navy completed such a sweeping re evaluation of the world threat picture in just a few weeks, after spending some 1. DD 2. 1, then DDX, and finally DDG 1. Subsequently, Chief of Naval Operations Gary Roughead cited the need to provide area air defense and specific new threats such as ballistic missiles and the possession of anti ship missiles by groups such as Hezbollah. The mooted structural problems have not been discussed in public. Navy Secretary. Donald Winter said on 4 September that Making certain that we have Ill just say, a destroyer in the 0. DDG 1. 00. 0 or a DDG 5. On 1. 9 August 2. Secretary Winter was reported as saying that a third Zumwalt would be built at Bath Iron Works, citing concerns about maintaining shipbuilding capacity. House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John Murtha said on 2. September 2. 00. 8 that he had agreed to partial funding of the third DDG 1. Defense authorization bill. A 2. 6 January 2. John Young, the US Department of Defenses Do. D top acquisition official, stated that the per ship price for the Zumwalt class destroyers had reached 5. Navys original estimate used in proposing the program, resulting in a breach of the NunnMc. Curdy Amendment, requiring the Navy to re certify and re justify the program to Congress or to cancel its production. On 6 April 2. 00. Defense Secretary. Robert Gates announced that Do. Ds proposed 2. 01. DDG 1. 00. 0 program at a maximum of three ships. Also in April, the Pentagon awarded a fixed price contract with General Dynamics to build the three destroyers, replacing a cost plus fee contract that had been awarded to Northrop Grumman. At that time, the first DDG 1. What had once been seen as the backbone of the Navys future surface fleet3. Arleigh Burke class after ordering three Zumwalts. In April 2. 01. 6, the U. S. Naval Institute stated the total cost of the three Zumwalt ships is about 2. Constructionedit. Representatives from Naval Sea Systems Command and Bath Iron Works sign a construction contract at the Pentagon, February 2. In late 2. 00. 5, the program entered the detailed design and integration phase, for which Raytheon is the Mission Systems Integrator. Both Northrop Grumman Ship Systems and General Dynamics Bath Iron Works share dual lead for the hull, mechanical, and electrical detailed design. BAE Systems Inc. has the advanced gun system and the MK5. VLS. Almost every major defense contractor including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine, L 3 Communications and subcontractors from nearly every state in the U. S. are involved to some extent in this project, which is the largest single line item in the Navys budget. During the previous contract, development and testing of 1.
