The Stealth Destroyer is a US Navy project of a light, fast, an stealth warship which will have the capacity of approaching enemy coasts practically undetected and unleash a rain of projectiles on military installations and communication facilities. The DDG-1000 Destroyer will be armed with an electromagnetic railgun, using magnetic field and electric current to fire a projectile, which will travel several times the speed of sound. It will also be armed with anti-shipping and surface to air missiles. Having a different profile from classic destroyers and built with special materials, the stealth destroyer will be detected by enemy radars as a very small fishing boat. Powered by electric motors, the new warship will have a range of 6,500 nautical miles and the capacity to carry on board a Super Cobra helicopter and/or reconnaissance helicopter. The first DDG-1000 destroyers will entered service with the US Navy in early 2015.
