Yes, that’s correct. The U.S Navy has recently announced they plan to equip the USS Zumwalt, a ship once criticized as a costly blunder, with hypersonic weapons as early as 2025. This will make it the first Navy ship to carry such advanced missile technology. The Zumwalt-class guided-missile destroyer is the Navy’s most technologically advanced surface ship. Hypersonic weapons, which can travel five or more times the speed of sound and maneuver in flight, are seen as key to the future of warfare.
