re: #13 Dark_Falcon
The USS Zumwalt is first in a class of 3. The planned build of this class was greatly scaled back due to their extremely high cost. The USN decided it would better to have a larger number of Block III Arleigh Burke-class destroyers instead.
Perhaps use a few of the new high tech bits, prep them to upgrade when the railguns are online but yeah, a couple of dozen AB’s would have been a far better use of money. We also need to cut the carrier fleet by about 1/2 but that won’t happen anytime soon.
