Summary

[edit]
Description

The latest and most expensive naval destroyer is rounding Fort Popham in Georgetown, Maine on her way to the open seas and after commissioning in Baltimore to her home base in San Diego. The commanding officer of this ship is James Kirk--a familiar name. The crew is just 147 reflecting the reliance of this warship on electronics.

DDG 1000 will be the first U.S. Navy combatant surface ship to utilize an integrated power system (IPS) to provide electric power for propulsion and ship services. The IPS generates approximately 78 megawatts of power, nearly what a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier generates, to meet the total ship electric power requirements and provide extra capacity to accommodate future weapons and computing systems.

In addition to its advanced weapon and propulsion systems, Zumwalt is much larger than today's destroyers. At 610 feet long and 80.7 feet wide, Zumwalt is 100 feet longer and 13 feet wider, and its flight deck is 93 percent larger than an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.
