The second Zumwalt Class destroyer, USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001), completed the sea trials.

According to the US Naval Sea Systems Command, USS Michael Monsoor passed all the tests. Within the scope of the tests, damage control systems, mechanical systems, navigation, combat, communication and drive systems performed at the desired specifications.

The 183-meter ship, which started to sea trials in December, had to cut the tests at half due to mechanical failures.

The USS Michael Monsoor is the second ship of Zumwalt Class. These ships are electric-driven and their radar cross section area is reduced. Estimated total value of three Zumwalt is 22 billion US Dollars. This makes the Zumwalt Classes the most expensive destroyers of the World.
