DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer

October 29, 2013 By The Editors

Originally posted December 15, 2010.
BATH, Maine. – General Dynamics Bath Iron Works successfully launched the Navy’s first Zumwalt-class destroyer Oct. 28 at their Bath, Maine, shipyard.
The future USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer) will be the lead ship of the Navy’s newest destroyer class, designed for littoral operations and land attack.
The ship began its translation from Bath Iron Works’ land-level construction facility to a floating dry dock on Friday. Once loaded into the dry dock, the dock was flooded and the ship was removed from its specially designed cradle. By late Monday, the dock had been flooded and the ship was floated off and tied to a pier on the Kennebec River.

DDG 1000 Zumwalt-Class Destroyer Seapower for the Missions of the Future


The DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer is America’s next generation, multi-mission, naval destroyer, serving as the vanguard of an entire new generation of advanced multi-mission surface combat ships.

Developed under the DD(X) destroyer program, Zumwalt (DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer) is the lead ship of a class of next-generation destroyers.

The multi-mission DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer is tailored for sustained operations in the littorals and land attack, and will provide independent forward presence and deterrence, support special operations forces, and operate as an integral part of joint and combined expeditionary forces.

The lead ship and class are named in honor of former Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo R. “Bud” Zumwalt Jr.
DDG 1000 provides a broad range of capabilities that are vital both to fighting and winning major combatant operations. The ship’s multi-mission warfighting capabilities are designed to counter not only the threats of today, but threats projected over the coming decades.

This warship integrates numerous critical technologies, systems and principles into a complete warfighting system. These include employment of optimal manning through human systems integration, improved quality of life, low operations and support costs, multi-spectral signature reduction, balanced warfighting design, survivability, and adaptability.

These include employment of optimal manning through human systems integration, improved quality of life, low operations and support costs, multi-spectral signature reduction, balanced warfighting design, survivability, and adaptability.

Each ship features a battery of two Advanced Gun Systems (AGS) firing Long-Range Land Attack Projectiles (LRLAP) that reach up to 63 nautical miles, providing a 3-fold improvement in naval surface fires coverage. The DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer will employ active and passive sensors and a Dual-Band Radar (DBR) suite capable of conducting area air surveillance, including over-land, throughout the extremely difficult and cluttered sea-land interface. The DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer will have a significantly reduced cross section reduction as compared to current destroyers and a much greater operating area in shallow water regions against mines. Zumwalt features increased stealth through a composite superstructure, integrated multi-function mast, and reduced acoustic signature.

Following a successful Total Ship System Production Readiness Review, construction began on the first ship of the DDG 1000 class in February 2009, and PEO Ships and its industry partners have worked diligently to mature the ship’s design and ready their industrial facilities to build this advanced surface combatant on cost and on schedule.

The DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer design was more mature at start of fabrication than any lead surface combatant to date, and all 13 Engineering Development Models (EDMs) have entered production, including 155mm Advanced Gun System and its Long Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP); the Mark 57 Advanced Vertical Launch System; composite deckhouse; the infrared suppression engine exhaust and heat suppression system; and components of the Integrated Power System. The Navy currently plans to build three DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyers.

 DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer Delivers

• Unmatched warfighting capabilities
• Tested and proven technologies
• Scalability for both forward fit into the Navy’s Family of Ships and backfit into legacy fleet
• Meets known and anticipated future threats
• Design margin for new capabilities and relevance well into the century

Zumwalt will be the centerpiece of seapower for the next 50 years.
