ZUMWALT-CLASS DESTROYER – THE NEXT GENERATION WARSHIP With its angular looks and wave-piercing "Tumblehome" hull form, the next-generation destroyer almost looks like science-fiction. It certainly doesn't look like any other warship. And it doesn't operate like one. Multifunctional, capable of operating in various environments and on schedule to be operational by 2016, the Zumwalt-Class is more automated than most warships. With that automation comes increased efficiency – to the point that a standard crew of only 130 is required. But make no mistake, even though the technical sophistication is high, it is built to be rugged and incredibly well-armed. (U.S. Navy photo illustration/Released)
