The U.S. Navy’s new stealth warship DDG 1000 headed down the Kennebec River and out to sea for the time Monday for a series of sea trials.
The future USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) is the lead ship in the new Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyers being built for the U.S. Navy. The Navy says the multi-mission ship will provide independent forward presence and deterrence, support special operations forces, and operate as an integral part of joint and combined expeditionary forces.
General Dynamics Bath Iron Works has been selected as lead designer and builder for the Zumwalt program and there are three ships planned.
