Verdens dyreste destroyer taget i brug

Godt 30 milliarder kroner har det kostet de amerikanske skatteydere at udvikle og bygge den amerikanske flådes nyeste destroyer USS Zumwalt. For de mange milliarder har flåden fået en destroyer der næsten ikke er synlig på fjendens radarer, og med en våbenarsenal stort nok til at sænke en mindre flåde.

Om pengene er givet godt ud kan man diskutere, der har været rigtig mange tekniske problemer undervejs, og der er gået mere end seks år siden skibet blev søsat til det nu er kommet så langt, at US Navy har accepteret skibet, og er gået i gang med at aktivere skibets våbensystemer til aktiv tjeneste.

Da de første tanker om skibstypen opstod, var det planen at destroyere af Zumwalt- klassen skulle være fremtidens amerikanske destroyer. Det bliver den ikke – dertil er den alt for dyr og kompliceret. Der vil kun blive bygget tre eksemplarer, inklusive USS Zumwalt.
