The Navy's Zumwalt Destroyers Are the First to Rock Mach 17 Missiles

The ships will skip the line and get hypersonic weapons starting in 2025.

    The Navy’s three Zumwalt-class destroyers will be modified to carry new hypersonic weapons.

    Each destroyer could hold up to 16 C-HGB missiles.

    The speed and range of hypersonic weapons would allow the U.S. Navy to strike any target within 5,000 miles in a matter of minutes.

The U.S. Navy says it will add hypersonic weapons to its latest class of destroyers by 2025.
