Photos: Behold! The world most powerful warship USS Zumwalt sets sail

  

See the futuristic American destroyer, named the USS Zumwalt. It is the naval version of a stealth bomber and is the deadliest vessel ever built. It has hidden guns, designed to attack its enemies at a range of more than 60 miles, and is reported to have cost US taxpayers £3.3billion. See more photos after the cut

 

 

 It may look like it has been designed by a child, but this warship is so advanced it shows up on enemy radar as a fishing boat. The Zumwalt has been described as the Starship Enterprise of the seas, due to its incredible array of high-tech features – and also because it is captained by James Kirk.

 

 

  

It took five years to build at the Bath Iron Works, in Maine, and is now on a three-month voyage to what will be its home port of San Diego.
It will stop off during Fleet Week Maryland, in Baltimore, on October 15, to be formally commissioned.
But the Zumwalt will not enter active service until 2018, after completing its sea tests.
