The U.S. Navy Is Going All-In on Hypersonic Missiles Amid Tensions With China

Integrating the Conventional Prompt Strike missile onto the Arleigh Burke-class may prove challenging, as the CPS missile diameter is larger than the launch cells the Arleigh Burke-class currently carries, and will likely be considerably longer than what the cells can currently accommodate.

Integrating the missile onto the stealthy Zumwalt-class could prove to be a challenge too. The problematic class fired their first onboard missile just earlier this week, though their failed 155mm naval gun system may afford the large ships the necessary onboard space to accommodate large CPS missiles once removed.
