U.S. Navy to Commission Zumwalt-class Destroyer USS Michael Monsoor

I already told you you're insult to human intelligence @undertakerwwefan

I say Type 055 is better. You offer no point other than Zumwalt has RCS of fishing boat which you have no proof of.

In stealth shaping look/aesthetic/beauty doesn't matter, its all about performance that matter @undertakerwwefan

Go read the articles on zumwalt on everywhere on net or google it, i have no responsibility to spoon feed you @undertakerwwefan its all over the net you narrow minded sh!t @undertakerwwefan Type-55 is more comparable to Daring class from UK @undertakerwwefan

Here you go you brain dead person @undertakerwwefan

Stealth[edit]
Main article: Stealth ship
Despite being 40% larger than an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the radar cross-section is more akin to that of a fishing boat, according to a spokesman for Naval Sea Systems Command.[53] The tumblehome hull and composite deckhouse reduce radar return. Overall, the destroyer's angular build makes it "50 times harder to spot on radar than an ordinary destroyer."[53]

Comparing armaments like they are football players or prized memorabilia for sale is always a little hilarious to witness.

Steel.

USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG-1002), the third and last ship in the tiny fleet of ships, is under construction. It will feature a heavier and more radar reflective deckhouse and hangar deck made out of steel instead of composite materials—another cost-cutting measure. The decision could impact seakeeping as well as the ship's radar signature.

The ship we are talking about here (DDG-1001) has a composite superstructure. USS LBJ has not been inducted yet to the USN.

With regards to ship stealth characteristics in general, the Zumwalt class has probably the most advanced and nuanced design in the world, as far as major naval combatants are involved. The ship is literally built around the concept of RCS reduction. If you couple this with the excellent emission discipline tactics that the USN employs (rather strictly), you can see why the platform is thought to be the quintessential silent surface hunter in a naval theater.

Having said that, it is also fair to say that the Zumwalt program as a whole was a pretty loud hit-n-miss for the DoD. Management was chaotic, the ship had to change its mission forcefully - partly due to the whole AGS debacle, and the resulting greatly diminished force in the class is handled like a prodigal son by the USN, both due to the great cost of procurement and the apparent lack of support in capability enhancement and modernization (stemming from the one-off, incompatible character of the main sensor/electronics suite the class employs).

A pretty good article for the subject at hand can be found here, for anyone interested.

I

prove it

Are you stupid or something, i already prove it you troll @undertakerwwefan

 

[Yaseen1]

this ship will add nothing new as submarine are doing similar jobs and are more stealthy waste of tax payer money

Go complain about that on Chinese destroyers.

Navy to Commission Destroyer Michael Monsoor

Office of the Navy Chief of Information

1/23/2019

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy will commission its newest destroyer, USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001), Saturday, Jan. 26 during a 10 a.m. (PST) ceremony at Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, California, where the ship will be homeported.

The second ship in the Zumwalt-class of destroyers, DDG-1001 is named in honor of Medal of Honor recipient Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class (SEAL) Michael A. Monsoor, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in Ramadi, Iraq, Sept. 29, 2006.

Scott Peters, U.S. Representative from California’s 52nd District, will deliver the commissioning ceremony's principal address. Sally Monsoor, Petty Officer Monsoor’s mother, will serve as the ship’s sponsor. The ceremony will be highlighted by a time-honored Navy tradition when Mrs. Monsoor gives the first order to “man our ship and bring her to life!”

“USS Michael Monsoor is one of the most capable warfighting assets our nation has to offer,” said Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer. “This ship will provide independent forward presence and deterrence for decades to come and I am confident the crew will operate this vessel with the level of expertise, courage, and strength needed to overcome any challenge.”

On Sept. 29, 2006, in Ramadi, Iraq, Monsoor was part of a sniper overwatch security position with two other SEALs and several Iraqi Army soldiers when an insurgent closed in and threw a fragmentation grenade into the position. The grenade hit Monsoor in the chest before falling to the ground. Positioned next to the single exit, Monsoor was the only one who could have escaped harm. Instead he dropped onto the grenade, smothering it to protect his teammates. The grenade detonated as he came down on top of it, inflicting a mortal wound. Monsoor’s actions saved the lives of his two teammates and the accompanying Iraqi soldiers. His Medal of Honor citation reads, “by his undaunted courage, fighting spirit and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of certain death, Petty Officer Monsoor gallantly gave his life for his country, thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.”

The future USS Michael Monsoor includes new technologies and will serve as a multi-mission platform capable of operating as an integral part of naval, joint or combined maritime forces. The Zumwalt-class fields a considerably larger flight deck and has capacity for two MH-60R and three VTUAVs to execute a wider array of surface, aviation, and undersea missions that deliver more manpower, firepower, and computing power to the fight. The future USS Michael Monsoor’s Vertical Launch System (VLS) features cells physically larger than similar cells on today’s ships, allowing this class to fire larger and more advanced land and anti-ship missiles in the future.

You can see radar signatures now? Just like that! Man you are super special indeed

Typically, larger size = bigger radar signature. A big boxy structure maximizes radar signature.

Such facepalm.
