The largest and most expensive destroyer ever built for the U.S. Navy once headed to sea in a snowstorm during builder trials. Now, it's heading into the remnants of a tropical storm as it leaves Maine for good.
The skipper is watching the weather as the stealthy Zumwalt destroyer prepares to depart from Bath Iron Works on Wednesday en route to its commissioning in Baltimore, and then to its homeport in San Diego.

USS Zumwalt - boldly going where no man has gone before...
Function rather than size.
Three cruises?
Just for fun link.
It's more than 3x the size of a cold war era Adams Class DDG.
This is a Cruiser by any definition and bigger than any Cruiser now in service by 2x.
It has more in common with the Des Moines class cruisers than a destroyer.
Imagine the USS Zumwalt standing offshore being sunk by a Chinese or Iranian SSK. That’s pretty much what the Zumwalt would do.
Of course. In that respect, the Zumwalt is no different from our most advanced aircraft carrier.
Will it change course if an itty bitty iranian speedboat approaches?
You notice they didn’t mention his first mate?

Wrong Link.....

The Spruance class destroyers actually. They took that hull and stretched it about 30 feet. The beam remains the same.

Was not the Tico class based on an old destroyer hull? I know they were overloaded and top heavy.
