Destroyers built by the United States in response to regional conflicts

During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed for the title of world hegemon, and the two countries constantly competed militarily, thus deriving destructive military weapons. However, due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States won the contest. It was thought that American military manufacturing would stop, but after the end of the Cold War, there were still many local wars in the world, especially the United States, which felt an unprecedented threat in the face of the rise of some countries.

Therefore, the US Navy's strategic policy has gradually evolved from ocean-going naval battles during the Cold War to sending forces on land to deal with disturbing regional conflicts.

Therefore,1September, 1992, the US Navy Commander, the US Naval Operations Secretary and the US Marine Corps Commander jointly issued the strategic white paper "From Sea to Land", which obviously aims to send troops to coastal targets, control the strategic routes from coastal and inland areas to the sea, and consider sending troops to the ground, including strengthening the coordinated operations of the naval fleet and the Marine Corps, and establishing a maritime expeditionary force to jointly fight with the army and air force. And greatly revised the ocean anti-submarine in the cold war era.

This is how the Zumwalt class destroyer was born. As a new generation of main surface ships in the United States, the world's number one power, this class of ships is the crystallization of top-level technologies that surpass the contemporary and new development in hull design, motor power, network communication, detection and navigation, weapon system and so on.

Moreover, the Zumwalt class destroyer adopts advanced and comprehensive stealth design, which makes it submarine-like stealth-the probability of being found at sea is much lower than 10%. There will only be a single fully enclosed stern structure on the surface of Zumwalt class destroyer, which is called integrated composite stern and aperture. In addition to integrating the bridge and all electronic equipment antennas, it also houses the main engine chimney.

At the same time, the exhaust gas of the power system is cooled by seawater and air and discharged from the exhaust port at the top of the integrated ship island. The exhaust port can only be observed from above, which reduces the enemy's infrared observation orientation.

Since it is a destroyer, its protection system is indispensable. This class of ships adopts a decentralized and highly integrated shipborne combat system, which is called an integrated defense system.

With ISDS as the core, the integrated broadband active and passive sonar, active phased array radar and electronic warfare system are connected. Unlike the previous combat system, which did not separately configure the sensors and input/output systems required by different weapons, ISDS will integrate and control all shipboard equipment, just like the human brain controls limbs. The concept is similar to the fifth generation fighter. As long as it is on the battlefield, it may stage a fierce fight at any time.

Because after the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the scientific and technological level of America's main rivals was very low, which made the importance of many advanced high-tech military technologies drop sharply, but the high cost showed its disadvantages in the era of gradual reduction of defense budget.

In particular, the number of equipment that led to the reduction of military financial resources, but the end of the Cold War does not mean that the threat has disappeared. There are other countries without the Soviet Union. Therefore, under this trend, the United States also recognizes that the development of military weapons cannot be interrupted. Only by staying at the forefront of high technology can we maintain the name of the world's first military power.
