with the changes in modern naval warfare, the us military gradually realized that the zumwalt-class destroyer had design errors in some aspects and took decisive measures: removing the two 155mm naval guns at the bow to make room for the installation of large-caliber vertical launch systems for hypersonic missiles.

the us military has even realized the price of taking the wrong path in the past and has begun to learn from china's type 055 destroyer.

the zumwalt-class destroyer was originally highly anticipated by the us military and is a landmark platform for the us military's future destroyers.

the ags system is one of the core elements of zumwalt's design. its original intention was to provide fire support to ground forces by launching long-range guided artillery shells.
