The USS Zumwalt, a U.S. Navy stealth destroyer, is being retrofitted with the first shipborne hypersonic weapon as part of a transformation effort. Initially criticized for cost overruns and an unactivated gun system, the Zumwalt will now enable fast and precise strikes at unprecedented distances. The Navy plans to conduct tests of the new weapon system by 2027 or 2028, amidst increasing global pressure to advance hypersonic technology, seen as crucial for U.S. national security.
