The U.S. Navy is upgrading Zumwalt-class destroyers by replacing their obsolete 155mm Advanced Gun Systems with hypersonic missiles, addressing impractical costs of $800,000 per specialized round. This strategic pivot involves installing a dozen Conventional Prompt Strike hypersonic missiles per ship, capable of speeds up to Mach 17, enhancing their strike capabilities. The transformation leverages the Zumwalt’s stealth features, making these 600-foot warships appear as small fishing boats on radar, thus enabling surprise attacks. By the late 2020s, all Zumwalt-class ships will be equipped with these advanced missiles, reflecting the Navy's commitment to technological advancement and strategic dominance
