THE DESTROYER (DDG 1000)

摘要

This 14,500-ton destroyer's mission is to pound enemy positions in support of troops onshore. The DDG 1000 features a "tumblehome" hull, which hasn't been used by the world's navies since two major sinkings in the early 1900s. Boosters say the design, which resembles an inverted V, will give the ship a stealthy, low-radar profile by deflecting radar signals skyward. Some critics argue that the broad base of the tumblehome hull makes the ship more likely to capsize in rough seas. But that's up for debate.
