US Navy's new destroyer is impressive

It's so stealthy they're having to fit it with reflectors so other ships can spot it during sea trials....

The future USS Zumwalt is so stealthy that it'll go to sea with reflective material that can be hoisted to make it more visible to other ships. The Navy destroyer is designed to look like a much smaller vessel on radar, and it lived up to its billing during recent builder trials. Lawrence Pye, a lobsterman, told The Associated Press that on his radar screen the 610-foot ship looked like a 40- to 50-foot fishing boat.

I'm all about being a patriot, but that shite looks stupid.

It's odd seeing a ship with no railings or visible mooring equipment (capstan, cleats, etc). Looks like everything is contained under the top deck and accessed through portholes.
I'm wondering if the crew is allowed anywhere topside while at sea?
Would definitely like to tour the ship and learn more about the day-to-day shite.

isnt this the one that everyone thought would have issues rolling over in rough seas?

If by impressive you mean a total waste of money, I agree.

There's a badass book called ghost fleet about this ship set in the future.

reminds me of the Superyacht "A"

That is crazy looking. Like it doesn't look like it has doors for the crew to go in and out.

Reminds me of the ships in Command & Conquer:Generals.

$4 billion could've built a lot of roads or schools. . .

Too bad Admiral Zumwalt, the Father of the PC Navy, wasn't impressive.

In that second to last picture, the huge boat was about the 4th thing my eye was drawn to.
