that shape is for stealth so radar and lasers don't bounce back right. i wonder if it is module like the class before it. in a very short time it could go from a gun ship to a communication ship, i'll have to check it out later.

Probably will do the job it has been designed for quite well . But compared to a ww2 tin can it sure is ugly .

 

[gassersgarage]

$4 billion dollars worth of ugly.

Wild looking ship, sure hope it dominates the water, I read it's a bit unstable.

Which I guess is ok but with todays technology, infrared imaging from satellites ect. any enemy knows where it's at anyway.

Sweet!! I want one!

The Brits just finished the most advanced submarine out there. It can monitor a ship leaving New York Harbor from England. Cost? 1 billion pounds.

Haha, I thought so too. Just like the car manufacturers build retro cars, the Government is building a retro destroyer !

I imagine it will be fitted with the electro-magnetic railgun system, now that it's gotten the green light. That will make a very formidable package.
