This one for the ladies?

Not surprising. This class is a pig that has no business existing, IMO. It has only one supposedly “useful” attribute that has no realistic advantage in any future combat situation, IMO.

It may be able to deflect radar at a distance, with dubious results versus the previous generation of destroyers, but at what cost? Would the previous generation be able to survive combat without such marginal improvements in “stealthiness” versus what we are now proposing to field at such a significant increase in appropriation?

I am all for upgrading our equipment when it makes good sense, but this “advancement” in technology seems to me to be marginal and waste of significant resources.

The damned things are aluminum above the waterline! I toured one at it's commissioning! I wouldn't be caught dead on one!!!

Well, wait...

Give ‘em to the Coast Guard, as that’s basically what they are: Cutters.

Start buying real frigates for the Navy again.

They really want to buy a lot of these sitting ducks?
