Russian media praised the 052D destroyer is an expensive toy

On November 5th, the first ship of the DDG1000 "Zumwalt" class guided missile destroyer built by General Electric's Bus Steel Shipyard was quietly launched at night, and no grand ceremony was held. The move is not only to hide people's eyes and ears, to guard against the spying of other countries' spy satellites and reconnaissance planes, but also to save money. The advantages and disadvantages of this kind of warship are very obvious. Although the performance is superior, it has gradually become an expensive and scarce toy. It is difficult to pose a substantial threat to the Russian and Chinese forces whose naval strength is second only to the United States.

From a modern perspective, the DDG1000 "Zumwalt" class guided missile destroyer is extremely unusual, with special emphasis on stealth performance. Of course, it is no secret that all modern warships are designed and built to reduce the effective scattering area and improve the stealth performance of the radar. In fact, as early as the Soviet Union developed the "Kirov"-class nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser, it had raised the stealth requirement to a certain extent. The US military's new guided missile destroyer is 183 meters long and has a displacement of 14,500 tons. It adopts an axe-type smooth ship island structure and is equipped with various new types of radio electronic equipment. It looks like an armored battleship or an armored cruiser in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is more like a cruiser than a destroyer. It is much larger than the large-scale Alibek class destroyer.

The "Zumwalt" class destroyer is close to the cruiser in size and is closer to the aircraft carrier in terms of cost. Since the development, the structure of the ship has been simplified, the displacement has been continuously reduced, the tactical technical performance has been gradually compressed, and the combat effectiveness has continued to shrink, but the cost has continued to rise, and the mass production has been greatly reduced. The US military initially planned to mass-produce 32 ships, and later reduced it to eight ships, 11 ships, and seven ships. In the end, it was reduced to two ships. After many lobbyings, it was barely added one, and it was finally determined to be three. In terms of cost, only project development costs cost about $10 billion, plus trial design, construction, and testing costs, not counting the entire life cycle usage fee. Each warship costs about $7 billion. It is entirely possible to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier or two nuclear submarines.
