 DDG-1000 is easily detectable by acoustic and infrared detectors
Author: Martin Su 
Date:   06-13-12 16:36

I hate it when clueless journalists write about military technology that they do not understand.

Everyone knows the DDG-1000 is failed technology, because the US Navy canceled it after 3 prototypes (see citation below).

The biggest problem with the Zumwalt destroyers is their inability to provide fleet air defense. In contrast, the current Arleigh-Burke destroyers provide invaluable air defense to protect an aircraft carrier.

The idea of a 15,000-ton DDG-1000 "stealth" ship is completely ludicrous. To move a ship of that size, you need massive engines (e.g. 78 MegaWatts). There is no way to realistically shield the heat emissions of a ship that size. The DDG-1000 can be easily detected by infrared sensors.

Also, to move a 15,000-ton ship, you need massive propellers. Those propellers must push through the water to provide forward thrust. If you think pushing a tiny recreational boat with propellers is noisy, wait until you try to push a 15,000-ton ship with propellers.

China can hear the giant propellers pushing the 15,000-ton DDG-1000 all the way across the Pacific. Stealth ship, my foot.

"The prohibitive cost of the ships has decreased the originally planned 32 Zumwalt class ships to 3."
