Stealth destroyer to be home for 1st hypersonic weapon on a US warship

The U.S. Navy is transforming the USS Zumwalt, a costly warship, into a platform for hypersonic weapons. Workers are replacing its unused gun system with missile tubes to launch the “Conventional Prompt Strike” hypersonic missiles, which travel over Mach 5.

This upgrade aims to enhance the ship’s capabilities, offering fast, precise strikes from long distances.

Despite its reputation as an expensive mistake, the Zumwalt remains the Navy’s most advanced ship, featuring cutting-edge technologies.

The Navy plans to begin testing the system in 2027-2028, the Associated Press has reported.
