Zumwalt: The U.S. Navy’s ‘Stealth’ Warships Will Get Hypersonic Missiles

Zumwalt to Receive Hypersonic Weapons - This week, the Russian Navy has been conducting naval exercises involving the Northern Fleet frigate Admiral Gorshkov, which was deployed to the Norwegian Sea as part of a naval task force under the command of Northern Fleet Missile Ships Division Commander Captain 1st Rank Oleg Gladky. What was especially notable about the recent deployment of the frigate is that it is armed with the nuclear-capable Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, capable of hitting the British Isles.
That makes the small warship one of the most powerful vessels in President Vladimir Putin's arsenal.
However, the United States Navy could have as capable – and arguably even more powerful – of a warship as efforts will soon be underway to modernize the first two Zumwalt-class guided-missile destroyers that will include the installation of hypersonic missile launchers.
