USS Zumwalt

Now we are getting to a ship that looks like it was pulled out of an episode of Star Trek. The USS Zumwalt is over 600 feet long and it weighs in at an incredible 14.5 thousand tons. What makes this ship so special is the advanced tactics that make it capable of tricking the radar of enemy units. Enemy radar will see the Zumwalt as a small boat despite it’s truly gigantic size. There are a host of combat techniques which make this an incredibly useful tool.

HMS Defender

If the HMS Defender were an animal you would probably find it at the big dog training schools out there. This large ship clocks in at 500 feet in length and it can reach speeds of almost 30 knots. The HMS Defender launched in October 2009 and it belongs to the Type 45 Air Defense Destroyer category for the Royal Navy. The HMS Defender comes with an elite array of anti aircraft weapons and it has already seen service off the coast of Syria and the Gulf of Oman as a guard for land forces.
