"Developed under the DD(X) destroyer program, DDG-1000 Zumwalt is the lead ship in a class of next-generation, multi-mission surface combatants tailored for land attack and littoral dominance, with capabilities designed to defeat current and projected threats as well as improve battle force defense."
I never even gave this a thought before a meeting I attended last week, but what is the term "littoral"? Did anyone know without looking it up as I did? And why would anyone want a ship with that capability?
