 Navy’s Next Destroyer Will Ensure ‘No Target Is Out Of Range’

"We've done about all we can do with this ship and we've maxed out the space, weight, power and cooling,” Rear Adm. Paul Schlise said. "It's time to reset to a new large surface combatant."

WASHINGTON: The Navy is laying plans for a next-generation destroyer to join its new frigate and light amphibious warship as the foundation of a nw fleet.

The 67 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in the inventory today will have to be retired at some point, Navy officials acknowledge, with the design showing some age.

“We’ve done about all we can do with this ship and we’ve maxed out the space, weight, power and cooling,” Rear Adm. Paul Schlise, head of the Navy’s Surface Warfare Division, said at the Surface Navy Conference Tuesday. “It’s time to reset to a new large surface combatant hull.”
