I recall reading elsewhere that these projectiles contain no explosive ordnance. Their destructive power comes from kinetic energy alone. Aw,c'mon...where's the fun in that? Stick a small nuke on each one and start firing them at Bejing,Moscow,Tehran,Pakistan,Caracas,Berkeley and DC

The new Zumwalt class DDG has an integrated power system that is capable of generating 78 MW, 10 times more than the Arleigh Burke which is only capable of generating 7.5 MW.
I wonder if the Zumwalt could handle a railgun in a future upgrade?
