- In today’s session, we will discuss why the USS Zumwalt seems to be such a dangerous ship? If you are curious on the answer, stay tuned and watch this video till the end!
With the ship's operation costs almost 7.5 billion dollars, and each missile it shoots costs more than $800,000 per round, it can be guessed that this is not ordinary ship isn’t it? indeed, it is the guided-missile destroyers currently classified as Zumwalt-Class. Each of these ships is designed to carry out stealth missions, with a focus on land strikes. The ship may also undertake anti-air warfare, surface-level combat, and naval support missions.

Some one in the US Navy watched an episode of Battlestar Galactica and decided to base a warship on that technology, not realizing that the show is science-fiction.
The Zumwalt belongs to a new class of Guided Missile Destroyers. Experts call them the Misguided Missile Destroyers.
White Elephants. Cost too much to keep, and to prestige's to get rid of.
The advanced gun system has ammunition too expensive to use! I suspect the rail gun will also be another impractical concept for years to come. Unfortunately, with the procurement contract cut to three ships, the economies of scale won't benefit these future warfare demonstrators.
more like an old class ironclads, i mean it would be right at home in the 1880s.
some say it's a future technology R&D platform.... rail guns, lasers, warp engine
@@fatdoi003 quantum singularity drives or its not future tech. also were are the photon torpedoes and phasers. railguns are old school need to have a least one phaser bank.
I know why it is so dangerous! Just a couple of these ships can sink the entire Navy budget!
The Navy has an unlimited budget
@@xanderunderwoods3363unfortunately, US health care, education and infrastructure have very limited budgets😅
Looking back on the history of destroyers, they used to be called torpedo boat destroyers. Which is exact what their function was. Then they eventually took on rule of torpedo boats by being equipped with torpedoes. Then they became fleet screens and anti-air defense. Now destroyers are jack of all traits. With the Zumwalt class Destroyers, seeing it capabilities. I have a feeling they will be living up to their names as Destroyers. Emphasis on the word destroy.
More like destroy a countries military economy with that price tag.
The AGS has been abandoned Due to the cost exceeding $1,000,000 per round. The materials used for the superstructure was changed in the last of the class, to a more standard material, again due to the cost.
The LRLAP also failed to meet the required range requirements.
FFS, 1 million per round? What are those rounds made off? Diamond slug with gold coating?
@@KondorDCS indeed and the powder is the souls of young children
@@KondorDCS I thought those guns were railguns but I forgot railguns don't look like the one zumwalt has
Its so stealthy and so dangerous only 3 were seen the other 100 zumwalt class ship was so stealthy and dangerous america would not dare show where their other 100 ships that is build. Even the US Navy cannot locate them because its so stealthy. Its Artificial Intelligence is so smart it would not dare reveal itself nor its location
One thing for sure is that aliens helping United States to advance technology that other super power countries like Russia and China can't have.
i mean this thing is about as 1880s predrenought battleship and proabbly a lot less useful, at least those could actually shot back at targets over long range.
@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel nonsense..... Capt Jack Sparrow won't let you see where he is
What these ships need is a red Cylon eye in the bridge windows.
Seeing this ship up close made me realized that it is much more powerful than the public is being told
This and the AB class destroyer are both fighting to be the best destroyer in the world.
They look awsome
I swear they look like a unique but updated version of the U-boats!
Can it only be fired at a target valued greater than $800,000? How many of those are around?
Its like someone read a Yahoo article from 5 years ago
Sólo de verlo ya da miedo.
We need an amendment for the navy to have to integrate a minimum of ships they order. Nearly ten billion and they end up mothballed? Give me a break.
Sure so a US Constitutional Amendment under US GAO stops the entire program? And you want to ... change the US Constitution? Will you be coming for everyones guns next? Comrade is it?
@@MrFlatage Jesus, that a bit of a stretch don’t you think. I pretty sure Frankcasstle498 was saying the navy should have a policy to only invest in ship that they will definitely procure, and not waste tax payers dollars on useless ships like the Zummwalt or LCS classes. Where the hell did you get amendments to the US Constitution?
@@Kishanth.J Wow now the US Constitution is a bit of a strech? Da da comrade. And a US Supreme Audit Institution got the amendments to the US Constitution ... wrong somehow?
Where are you from that you are clueless about the policy for military aquirements? What is the name of your s-hole country?
CRS Report 94-343? Ah yes well I guess US Congressional Research Services is a bit of a stretch as well?
Wait a second comrade? Are you attacking every US source there is? With what? Your lies and propaganda? Sorry I am invoking Onus Probandi in the Bill of Rights. Post your evidence that proves those 3 official US sources wrong.
lazer weapons is all you need to know. its its nearly impossible to escape the speed of light unless you have a flying saucer and element 115. you'll be surprised what that element can do
He: why zumwalt is so dangerous ship?
Me: it's cost...
She is a Kings ship
They should be designated cruisers.
Agreed but it seems everything is going up in weight. Frigates are becoming destroyer weight, destroyers are becoming cruiser weight, can't wait to see how big next gen cruisers are haha.
Zumwalt still called Destroyers, however, in terms of displacement and armament, they are Cruisers.
🔴Because looks can be deceiving 🤗😂
Time to remove that Z in back
I don't know but I think their stealthiness is somehow useless due to military satellites tracking them above just like when nuclear-powered submarines rise up.
Will military satellites always be functional?
Satellites still can’t locate them due to how big the ocean is in comparison to the ship it’s self Russia and China have a hard time tracking aircraft carrier groups to this day because of it
Too bad it has no ammo. Cutbacks can't fund the $800K - $1M per round price tag.
เรือลำนี้มีระบบป้องกันขีปนาวุธต่างๆ ได้แก่ระบบอะไรบ้าง หากไม่ดีจริงตกเป็นเป้านิ่งโดนส่อง นอนทัองทะเลนะครับ
With new tech, you won't know if it works until you build it. With multiple new systems, integrating them all isn't going to work the first time. It is really expensive but don't write off the knowledge gained. Triple expansion steam engines are a safe bet and relatively inexpensive but uncompetitive today
Zumwalt is an expensive piece of garbage. Almost nothing works, be its engine, gun or radar etc. The next gen destroyer design DDG(X) will have to copy the Chinese type-055
Wasn't the ammunition for the guns scraped?
Yes there currently being removed to make way for 16 cells for Hypersonic Missles!
@@Conan-ny1um So, after everything is done, it will have 0 guns, or will they add a 127 mm like most US ships?
@@dawsonreum8096 there’s no need for a Gun when it will be with at least 3-6 Burke’s and Ticos!
@@Conan-ny1um Ah, makes sense.
@@Conan-ny1um So, is that 8 cells in each slot, 1 giant group of 16 cells, or 16 cells per spot?
some next level shit would prolly be a destroyer that can submerge . ship/submarine 😎
A solutuin in search of a promlwm.
It's can join Admiral Nakhimov as a *"Failed warship"*
"never use infant technology". They dont know about this wise words.
WTf… This is a white elephant ever since the rail gun was cancelled
Lol
Dangerous to who? The enemy or the crew?
both probably
It's such a cool ship. It just doesn't have any weapons, lol
Lets ignore the railguns
@@nicolascreo5295 They aren't functional, so it's probably best to ignore them.
@@Jake-rs9nq well the only thing that make it awfully dangerous
the nuclear shells that can be guided
@@nicolascreo5295 This ship has no nuclear armament.
@@Jake-rs9nq the ship has no armament but who knows what it has now
Only 1 (One) Kinzhal and there is no Zumwalt))) it will make a lot of problems to scrap metal collectors… because too many metal😢
It really beyond me what the Zumwalt's designers thought they would achieve with a 'stealth design' like that.
What were they hoping it would be good for? Will it allow the ship to pretty much approach the shore to launch it's missiles at targets? It would have to remain about 30kms off the shore otherwise it could be spotted by the naked eye.
Since they can launch LACMs from 1000 kilomters they would be just as accurate....what the hell would it matter if the ship is stealth or not? Silly waste of money.
Because you can hide from plane based radar. Even the Burke has stealth properties
Surface Navies are nothing more than peace-time power projection. Surface navies would be essentially just target practice in any inter-state war. So there is essentially no reason to not make your destroyers all cool and shiet. It’s not like it is going to survive an actual guided missile.
it make it much harder to detect via maritime patrol aircraft
Aircraft. AWACS have radars with radars of 500+ miles. They could be spotted easy. But by looking like a smaller ship it would force the aircraft to lower altitudes forcing it to get within the range of the ships defense.
@@ThatCarGuy So, it's a big and expensive AWACS bait? No wonder America has to print banknotes and abuse the hell out of the dollar to keep themselves up. Wasting this much money....
Zumwalt is the typical military disaster. Luckily, the programme has been scrapped
How is it a disaster. Please tell us oh mr. Know it all 😂
Yeah, those guns look really dangerous. Oh wait...
If it wasn't for men that design such daring ships we would have still stayed with the sailboats.
The missiles are less expensive than the planned smart rounds for her guns, at more than $1 million a shot. This video is terribly out of date. There is NO ammo for the 155mm guns. The guns are worthless.
in the process of getting the guns removed to be replaced by hypersonic missiles
keyword: seem to be
Dangerous to who? Her crew? No shells for the guns.
Except they cancel the program
Can zumwalt use the laser for enemy aircraft from russian and china?
She is mine, 1002
That’s a bad ass class my favorite now I want to weld on them
☝️
👍😎🍺🍩🚢
what an amazing ship, it just cant fire its guns. the germans have guns that also reach 100km+ for a tiny fraction of the cost ^^ americans really know how to waste money.
You mean the monarch?
Best, 32 Planned 29 Cancelled.
its a badass ship
This video is laughably dated for 2022 and earlier. Ex. LRLAP was canceled many many years ago.
I know a welder who worked on it ...
Total hype . Overpriced Crap.
The should have fitted a Laser beam weapon . Rail -gun ...etc
and hyper-sonic weapons
But ...the pentagon are too busy kneeling for some Black's lol
A dangerous shit.
Gonna have to paint over that Z after recent events in Ukraine..
Umwalt)))
its not tested yet.. if not used to fight face to face with warships china or russia
So.. No coment 😎
This video for being 8 months old is incredibly…bad. It is not accurate and misleading in a lot of areas. The AGS gun system propels the $800k per ammunition has been scrapped. That was decided years ago because of cost. The AGS is getting replaced with hypersonic missiles. Going from planned 32 (I think?) to 3 ships made each ship very expensive with lack of economy of scale. This destroyer is pretty darn sweet and just needs a few tweaks. The AGS guns were just stupid idea. Replace with vls or hypersonic cells, add 5” gun, laser weapons and improved spy-6 radar and you have an incredible ship.
Isn't even a proper AEGIS warship.
Laser weapons 😂
This ship was designed to send someone’s kids to college. Lockheed Martin engineers 😂
It's a pretty garbage ship and perfect example of the wasteful spending that occurs in military industrial complex
It’s the most technologically advanced destroyer to date. The reason why it’s considered a failure has nothing to do with its technology. The ship was just too ahead of its time and too expensive.
@@IpSyCo politicians don't understand economies of scale unless it's their paycheck
It's literally the best destroyer in the world and/or fighting for that spot with the AB class.
@@ThatCarGuy Fake news. US CRS proves you wrong with science facts from people who have names.
You do not even have civil rights, lmao!
@PressTV IR Fan 4 Life It uses a tumblehome hull, electric engines(so good the QE class carriers use them), a passive induction system to reduce IR signature, hull mounted sonar(no longer towed), and so on. This is why it has such a reduced RCS. It's great to minimize AWACS long range radars.
not worth it/
Hull design. Look back at naval history and the disasters this hull design caused.
It's a waste of money and has no benefits for its cost. One if not the worst ship class in the navy. But i think they wanted something that looks sci-fi for PR reasons. Even the ammo was discontinued and they are in process to change the arnments.
Dangerous for taxpayers and the USN budget.
It's maybe the worst ship ever built. Also, the guns don't have any ammunition since they are too expensive. They are not in production. I can read a pamphlet from 2010 too. It's easily the worst ship in the navy. It's also rusting rapidly and might not be seaworthy.
Probably will be pulled out of service far before they initially planned as well. This was a disaster from the word "Go".
@@qarmatianwarhorse6028 The 2010s are going to be a case study at the naval academy for how not to do procurement.
It has an entire VLS...
@@ThatCarGuy Neat. The Arleigh Burke carries more VLS cells.
@@aaronpaul9188 Yet the Zumwalts VLS can carry offensive hypersonic missiles. Both have their pros and and cons. Seeing how you just compared the Zumwalt to the best destroyer in the world, the Zumwalt must also be fight for that top spot. The Zumwalts main issue is it's price as most the technology is too new and hasn't had time to be produced cheaper and/or in mass.
Let's Go, Brandon ! Russia wins !
useless
useless junk , those 3 ships should be scrapped.
Overpriced crap! You want to look at an aggressive dangerous ship, look at the Russian Destroyers. Why the idiots in charge of the Navy will not properly arm our ships and protect our sailors is beyond reason.
Actually they posted a video of the 40 mm autocannon in action? If that fails? Sailors still have their side arms. They are armed in fact. Russian Destroyers? More like every other ship out there has more firepower, lol!
USS Constitution could take a 40 mm autocannon barrage. No way the Zumwalt would survive a broadside though. Yes good old Ironsides isn't a tin can. It can take alot of hits.
Not properly armed? What? It has a VLS...
@@ThatCarGuy Ah the commie troll hiding behind a fake name like the annual NSA report warned us about.
Remember you stand against Onus Probandi in the Bill of Rights. You never post proof to one single word.
CRS Report 94-343.
Going to attack US Congressional Research Services next like a commie attack doggy? Shame you cannot change truth and fact from official US goverment sources remember?
Going to cut, run and ignore? Yes that is your usual MO, lmao!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's dangerous for US budget and American tax payers 😅😅😅😅
