Destroyer USS Zumwalt has long had problems with its main deck guns, which don't have any ammunition.
The Zumwalt is changing homeports to receive upgrades including a new hypersonic missile system.
US Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Zumwalt arrives in Yokosuka for a port visit, September 26, 2022.
Unlike China and Russia, the US does not currently have any hypersonic weapons systems deployed.
True hypersonic weapons pose a new and potentially unstoppable threat due to their ability to maneuver unpredictably at these speeds.
