Naval War College Review
Abstract
The U.S. Navy’s decision to truncate procurement of the original fleet of thirty-two guided-missile destroyers of the Zumwalt (DDG 1000) class to just three ships does not diminish the value of the program to the United States as a technology bridge to the “Navy after Next.” Rarely has the Navy had such an opportunity to do just what the Chief of Naval Opera- tions (CNO), Admiral Gary Roughead, directed in early 2009: “To take advantage of the technologies, to learn from them” and to prepare the Navy for the un- certain “hybrid warfare” strategic environment of the future.
