Is it just me or does the superstructure look more like that of the Japanese
Akizuki class DDGs rather than that of the
Zumwalt?

ARLINGTON, Va. � The Navy wants its next warship to fire hypersonic missiles and lasers that would be ten times more powerful than the service�s existing laser weapons, according to the most detailed outlook to date of the DDG(X) next generation warship issued by the service.
The warship, the largest the Navy�s attempted in more than 20 years, is designed to provide the service with the power to drive a new generation of directed energy weapons and high-power sensors that will follow the Navy�s current fleet of Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers. The warship is estimated to start construction in 2028, the Navy told USNI News last year.
�Capabilities that we�re going to need for the 21st century to continue combating the threat are increased missile capability sensor growth, directed energy weapons, which actually require a lot of power, increased survivability and increased power availability,� deputy program manager Katherine Connelly said at a Wednesday briefing at the Surface Navy Association symposium.
