I thought that the nuclear powered cruisers, i.e., USS California were the best looking ships in the navy.

We still would have sunk ‘em.

I know the shape of the prow is for stealth but whenever I see an artist’s rendering of the Zumwalt’s design, I can think of only one phrase:

“RAMMING SPEED!!”

(Okay, I’ll be quiet now.)

I hope they work better than they look.

I’m just an old Luddite though. Heck, I don’t even like F-35s and think we should just load up on a whole bunch of new F-15SEs.

Of course there is that whole UCAV thing to deal with.
