If the purpose of this ship is to defend the 50 states of the US and its Constitution, couldn’t they have found a more suitable name?

The configuration provides enhanced maneuverability, efficiency, and safety, as well as acoustic signature reductions across major parts of the submarine's operating envelope

This is all well and good, but what about it's carbon emissions???? Have equity considerations been designed into the component????

I like how they delivered it pre-rusted. Must be an extra special bonus feature.

Only two kinds of ships in the USN, submarines and targets.
