US Navy Seeks to Proliferate Hypersonic Missiles Across the Fleet
Citat:Presently, the U.S Navy’s surface force has plans to field the first vessel in all of the branch’s fleet (including the U.S. Navy’s nuclear submarine inventory) to be equipped with CPS/hypersonic strike capability, the USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000). As reported by Naval News during SNA 2026, the Zumwalt will depart her re-fit period sometime this year, leaving behind both Advanced Gun Systems (AGS) in lieu of the forward turret space housing 12 CPS rounds (3 to a cell, 4 total cells) and the second turret’s space being recapitalized for “other uses”.
All of the Zumwalts will be refitted along the same standard, with the USS Micheal Monsoor (DDG-1001) being the last to receive the re-fit, entering drydock in 2027 after the re-fit of the Zumwalt and the USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG-1002) are completed and almost finalized respectively.
Following the Zumwalts, the next vessels to carry CPS rounds will be the Block V Virginia-class submarines, with storage of the missiles allowed by the addition of 4 extra missile banks in the Virginia Payload Module (VPM). The first Block V under construction is the second in the block, the future USS Oklahoma, with the boat laid down in 2022 with delivery expected in 2028.
