The tv series The Last Ship would have looked a lot different with that instead of the Nathan James...

Wow.Never seen a ship designed like that with lines so straight.

Bet it cuts through the water nicely.

The destroyer can't protect us from enemies within our borders, like the one sitting in the oval office.

Navy has already cancelled this ship program due to its extremely high cost for a ship that basically provides support for carriers. Regular destroyers can do the same job and will be built for a fraction of the cost.

Not that it would be awesome to call the coast guard but how awesome would it be to see this beast roll up...

quote:

On 12 December 2015, during sea trials, Zumwalt responded to a U.S. Coast Guard call for assistance for a fishing boat captain who was experiencing a medical emergency 40 nautical miles (74 km) from Portland, Maine. Due to deck conditions, the Coast Guard helicopter was unable to hoist the patient from the fishing boat, so the Zumwalt crew transferred him to the destroyer using an 11-meter rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB), from which he was transported to shore by the Coast Guard helicopter and then to a hospital.[26]

My nephew helped build it at Bath Iron Works, him and a couple other tiger grads.

Aren't we only building like two of those things?


Nice capabilities on paper, but you gotta question the strategic value of them.....
