The U.S. Navy is transforming its Zumwalt-class land-attack destroyers
into surface-warfare ships whose main mission will be sinking other
vessels at sea. In swapping the job of the three-ship class, the Navy is
admitting that its original concept for the 600-foot, stealthy warships
is no longer viable. The mission-change, first reported by the news
website of the U.S. Naval Institute in early December, came as Michael
Monsoor, the second ship in the class after Zumwalt, set sail for
builder’s trials off the coast of Maine.
