Which mission is NOT associated with the DDG 1000 Zumwalt class guided missile destroyer?

The DDG 1000 Zumwalt class guided missile destroyer is designed with a focus on several specific missions, notably anti-air, anti-surface, and some aspects of anti-submarine warfare, but it does not primarily focus on ballistic missile deployment. The Zumwalt class emphasizes advanced technology and capabilities for surface and air threats, making it well-equipped for anti-air warfare through sophisticated radar and weapon systems. Its design also facilitates effective engagement of surface threats, positioning it effectively for anti-surface warfare.

While the Zumwalt class possesses some capabilities that could be leveraged for anti-submarine warfare, it is not its primary mission profile compared to platforms specifically designed for that purpose. Therefore, the mission associated with ballistic missile deployment is not part of the Zumwalt's intended role, as this capability is more characteristic of other naval platforms specifically designed for strategic deterrence and missile defense, such as certain submarines and cruisers.
