The Zumwalt-class destroyer program was conceived in the 1990s and 2000s as a 32-ship advanced land-attack destroyer class. Due to massive cost growth, the program was reduced to only three ships, with research and construction costs reaching around $24.5 billion. The program faced issues such as the Advanced Gun System never becoming operational due to the high cost of ammunition.
