军事家们预测,21世纪传统海战将步入“隐形战争”的新舞台。鉴此,争作当今世界军事霸主的美国自然开始把注意力转向高性能的隐形战舰。目前美海军正在着手论证、研制下一代新型驱逐舰——DD 21对岸攻击隐身驱逐舰。该型舰是一种具有良好的机动性、耐波性、强大的续航能力、攻防能力,采用因特网联接的高度自动化的隐形战舰。美海军将以此舰为基础建立21世纪海上舰队。美海军目前计划建造 DD 21型驱逐舰32艘,首舰将于2008年服役。该型舰将取代“佩里”级护卫舰和“斯普鲁恩斯”级驱逐舰。到2010年末,美海军 The military strategists predict that the traditional naval battle in the 21st century will enter a new stage of “stealth war.” In view of this, the United States that strikes the overwhelming military hegemony in the world today naturally begins to turn its attention to high-performance invisible warships. Currently, the U.S. Navy is proceeding with the demonstration of developing a new generation of destroyer, the D-21, to attack the stealth destroyer. This type of ship is a highly automated stealth battleship with good maneuverability, wave resistance, powerful endurance, offensive and defensive capabilities, and an Internet connection. The U.S. Navy will build a 21st-century maritime fleet based on this ship. The U.S. Navy currently plans to build 32 DD 21 destroyers, the first of which will be commissioned in 2008.
