The Germans didn't find it impressive either.

Until it needs to be called to action. I'm pretty sure you'll shut the frick up after that.

Awesome. The only way that could be better is of they had named it The Enterprise.

It's a new navy. Almost every new ship is going to be a mirage of features that mixes the best features of cruiser, destroyer, and air craft carrier ships of the past. In addition to being radar resistent the requirements to being successful in modern warfare are just insane.

It's a mirror image of a concept pic of the older DD-21 design. The Zumwalt is actually numbered 1000.

In other words, the OP is a phaggot for posting an unrelated pic.

The Navy: Over 200 years of tradition, unhindered by progress.

So, they probably don't.

I don't buy the sea stealth stuff. I hope they plenty of CIWS and other stuff when those surface to surface missiles are closing in.

I am assuming those bays on the bow and stern are missile bays. F- yes they know what they are doing, missile up the azz of a camel lover in under 15 minutes baby.

Meh, you only see one major revision in the navy in your lifetime typically. Just the nature of the iron beast. This one will be vetted by the next big war.

One of the biggest vulnerabilities with the navy is land-based missiles and aircraft responding to radar signals. Time will tell if it is useful or not, but I think the covert opportunities with any stealth craft is substantial.
