In the vast and mysterious waters of the oceans, a new protagonist emerges with the elegance of stealth and the power of technological advancement. The USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000), leader of the new class that bears her name, is destined to redefine the standards of the US Navy.
It’s not just a guided missile destroyer; is a masterpiece of military ingenuity, designed for stealth tactical missions and impressive feats.

The model is more similar to destroyers from the “Star Wars” movie saga, but it is just the result of human power. The USS Zumwalt is a symbol of innovation, featuring an integrated electric propulsion system, a performance that defies naval conventions.

The combustion engines in a sophisticated synchronization act as electrical generators, feeding the engines that drive the propellers. This complex system is powered by Rolls-Royce MT30 gas turbines, designed with a lean and efficient structure.
The Powerful Dance of Energy

Dancing with the power of the sea, the USS Zumwalt generates an impressive surge of energy, approximately 78 megawatts, equivalent to the thrust of a nuclear aircraft carrier.
This impressive energy powers all onboard systems, from combat operations to essential equipment. Think of it as a city on the move, where electricity flows like a river in a maritime metropolis.
stealth in the waves
The ability to blend in with the waves is one of the most notable achievements of the USS Zumwalt. Her secret signature confuses radars, making her look like nothing more than a fishing boat, yet she is a formidable defensive force.
Beneath this subtle façade lies an impressive arsenal featuring a Peripheral Vertical Launch System (PVLS) loaded with BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles and an Advanced Gun System (AGS) with long-range naval guns.
A giant in dimensions and power
With a wingspan of 182 meters and a beam of 24 meters, the USS Zumwalt glides over the waves at a maximum speed of 30 knots and has the capacity to accommodate a crew of up to 158.
Its “heart” beats with state-of-the-art sensor technology that includes the AN/SPY-3 Multipurpose Radar and Hemispheric Volume Surveillance Radar.
With these electronic eyes, he keeps a watchful eye over the skies and seas, tracking aircraft and missiles at incredible speeds!
