The DDG 1000 is a multimission surface ship designed to provide advanced land attack capability and contribute to military dominance in the shallow coastal waters known as the littorals.
FORBES: Microgrids: Ten Clean Technologies Needed to Win the Next Naval War
It is a worst case scenario but not beyond imagination to foresee a future where laws are passed to restrict defensive technology in an effort to protect some cyber attack capability.

If anything, the absence of a credible American capability to attack such targets may have contributed to rogue states' massive investment in these facilities over the past fifteen years.
The United States could, therefore, face in the future chemically armed adversaries without an in-kind retaliatory capability to deter such an attack.
As nuclear arsenals grew, each of the two main sides in the Cold War gained second strike capability, rendering a surprise attack moot.

More moderate politicians, such as India's foreign minister, Jaswant Singh, have suggested a less aggressive posture: a capability to respond to a nuclear attack, along with a promise that India would not itself be the first to use nuclear weapons.
An unmanned aircraft like N-UCAS solves both these problems at once, providing a cost-effective capability that allows the carriers to find and attack terrorists and insurgents, and also to counter cruise and ballistic missile threats from a survivable distance.
The key to effective nuclear deterrence was a secure retaliatory capability, meaning an arsenal that could ride out any surprise attack and then respond with such devastating effect that adversaries would find the prospect unacceptable.
FORBES: Nuclear Paradox: Shrinking U.S. Arsenal Requires Huge New Expenditures
One, of course, was over the particular likelihood of a missile attack on the United States and thus the necessity of trying to develop a capability to stop it.
