Abstract :
Two decades ago, the U.S. Navy began designing what it then called its "21st-century destroyers." These were to be a fleet of 32 guided-missile destroyers that would be able to cruise near coastlines and attack forces on land with mind-boggling might. In 2001, though, the Navy canceled that program and replaced it with a less costly alternative.
