The tumblehome (inward sloping) hull minimizes the Zumwalt Class Destroyer’s radar cross section for enhanced stealth and survivability. Driven by a quiet and efficient all-electric propulsion system, the hull design optimizes speed, maneuverability and stability while minimizing engine noise and infrared signatures.

The Wave Piercing Tumblehome Hull is the responsibility of Northrop Grumman. For more information visit http://www.northropgrumman.com.
