The Zumwalt-class destroyers represent the United States Navy's new breed of multi-mission stealth missile destroyers, with a special focus on land attack. These destroyers are exquisitely designed to operate effectively in both vast oceanic environments and shallow coastal waters. To achieve heightened stealth characteristics, they incorporate design elements like a wave-piercing hull that reduces wake, an exhaust suppressor to diminish infrared heat signatures, and an inward-sloping exterior that creates a radar profile comparable to a small fishing boat.
