Feel like the Zuumwalt and Arleigh Burke should trade places considering that all the complications that came with the 3 Zuumwalts made the Navy stop its production and resume production of more Arleigh Burkes
I'm sure the US navy will eventually make something of the Zumwalt but as of now I highly doubt it is the most powerful destroyer afloat given the huge amount of problems with the ships
Curious, there are destroyers in this list that weights no more than 500 tons over spanish F-100 class and are clearly less powerfull, mainly due to the lack of a system like AEGIS, but spanish ones are named frigates when serving in Spain Nay and destroyers when in australian Navy.
Type055 has the most powerful firepower which 112 the biggest missile silos that can hold 448 missiles and the most advanced radar which the only warship in the world has an integrated radio frequency system. The tonnage and stealth performance is second. Type055 overall performance far exceeds Zumwalt and Arleigh Burke Class and junk Sejong the Grea.
Sejong is a larger version of Burk, same VLS, radar and most weapons, Zumwalt is an experimental failure and it’s more a land attack platform not destroyer with strong ASW. All three use single band 4.3 meter radar and old SM2 or 6 missiles. Older Burk radar is passive, only new block 2A and yet to commission block 3 have active array radar, I don’t know which Sejong has. How can these be better than 055 dual band 5 meter active array radar, larger size VLS and hypersonic missiles? I get you don’t want to be politically incorrect to praise Chinese, I suggest you should just omit both Russian and Chinese in your review instead of technically bias.
