Navy Will Install Hypersonic Missiles Aboard Zumwalt Destroyers Without Removing Gun Mounts
There’s enough space and weight margin aboard the Zumwalt-class destroyers to install two tubes for hypersonic missiles without removing the ship’s 155mm gun mounts, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday told USNI News last month.
By 2025, the first 16,000-ton Zumwalt-class destroyer will have at least two sets of missile tubes inserted on the port and starboard sides of the ship without having to remove the guns mounts, he said.
“There’s plenty of room right now for those modules,” Gilday told USNI News during a visit to General Dynamics Electric Boat.
The trio of guided-missile destroyers will be the first Navy platforms to field the Conventional Prompt Strike weapons as part of the Zumwalts refocus as a blue-water strike platform.
“Zumwalt gave us an opportunity to get [hypersonics] out faster and to be honest with you I need a solid mission for Zumwalt,” Gilday said.
The weapon is the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) developed for the Army, Air Force and the Navy.
