USS Zumwalt: Navy's Newest Destroyer Starts Sea Trials

Hi tech...

The USS Zumwalt heads out to sea.

The largest destroyer ever built for the U.S. Navy headed out for sea trials for the first time on Monday, David Sharp reports on businessinsidercom.

The futuristic 600-foot, 15,000-ton ship has electric propulsion, new radar and sonar, powerful missiles and guns, and a stealthy design to reduce its radar signature, Sharp wrote.

The Zumwalt, the first of three ships in the class, will cost at least $4.4 billion, he added.
