The newest American Esmanic Zumwalt of the same name, the creation of which is estimated at nine billion dollars, went to the Bay of San Diego Rupported, writes The Drive.
“Futuristic warship recently looked not so brilliantly: some of his radio absorbing tiles are strongly discharged, and rust strips cover its body,” writes the publication.
The Drive reminds that in Zumwalt Bay, commissioned five years ago, returned after long testing. According to the publication, the crew of this high-tech ship, the work of which involves a high degree of automation, twice as smaller than a smaller destroyer of the ARLEIGH BURKE type, and this affects the abilities of Zumwalt sailors to maintain a ship.
In the publication, it is noted that the attitude towards the appearance of rust on the hull of military courts in various commentators is different. In particular, some argue that if the ship is in active operation, then small corrosion does not affect the tasks performed by them. The other appearance of rust on the hull is associated with systemic problems in the fleet.
In November, John Rossando Observer in the American edition of 19FortyFive wrote that according to the current state of ships, naval forces (IUD) of the United States resemble the Dead Navy (Navy) of the USSR. The author stated that the rust bands, which he noticed on one of the ships in the Norfolk naval base (the headquarters of the US Atlantic Fleet), symbolized the decline of American naval shipyards because of decades of disregarding them, the irrational spending of budget funds and inadequate use of labor .
In the same month, The Drive wrote that the US Navy moved the equipment of Stels-destroyers like ZUMWALT hypersonic medium-range missiles. American sailors will receive the first ship with new weapons not earlier than 2025 fiscal year.
