Ok, so we are ripping off the CSN for our designs now.

Except there will be rail guns forward rather than the smokeless powder versions shown.

7 BILLION!? I thought the cost of a Nimitz Carrier was 1 Billion.

You could reactive all For Iowa Class Battleships and still have money left over for that price.

I hope the Zummwalt's won't be like the POS littoral Combat ships that have been thrust upon the Navy. Those ships are less useful than a PT boat, have a price tag of 1 billion, and shoddily built.

Major tactical error, this is a fine weapon to invade, but the issue is not with invading China, but China invading us. Better to have a steath destroyer than a new Battleship.

I think this is definite proof Autobots are for real because in the 2nd Transformers a navy ship was equipped with a rail gun courtesy of the the Autobots.
