US Navy Deadly Rail-Gun to be Deployed on Zumwalt Destroyers (Video) August 11, 2017 Nicola Modern Frigates & Destroyers, US Navy </p> <h2>US Navy Deadly Rail-Gun to be Deployed on Zumwalt Destroyers (Video)</h2> <p> For the past several years, the Navy has been developing the weapon, and it publicly tested one in 2014. The Navy planned to install a prototype railgun on a high-speed vessel, but the latest estimates suggest the prototyping stage could be pushed back until 2017. To avoid this unfortunate delay, Fanta proposed the idea of skipping the prototype phase and installing an operational unit on the USS Johnson, the Navy’s third and final next-generation Zumwalt-class destroyer that is slated for deployment in 2018.</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors -
