摘要

The US Navy has agreed to buy a third Zumwalt-class (DDG 1000) destroyer in Fiscal Year 2009 (FY09), just four weeks after deciding to halt the advanced technology programme at two ships and divert funds into Arleigh Burke-class (DDG 51) destroyers. The decision was confirmed in a letter dated 18 August from Navy Secretary Donald Winter and Admiral Gary Roughead, the chief of Naval Operations, to Congressman Patrick Kennedy, whose Rhode Island constituency includes employers such as Raytheon and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center. "The navy's plan is to complete construction of the DDG 1000 ships currently under contract and conform to the president's FY09 budget submission by executing the third DDG 1000,' the letter states. In February 2008, navy officials were requesting USD2.55 billion for the third Zumwalt destroyer as part of their FY09 budget request. On 22 July, however, they announced that the seven-ship programme was being truncated at two due to escalating costs. Instead the navy said it wanted to restart construction of the tried and tested Arleigh Burke design and would submit proposals to build eight of them in FY10.
