I still think it looks like the Monitor heading out to look for the Merrimack

Looks like an iceberg will want to try and mate with the ship.

I guess there are those who might think it’s a beautiful ship.
I am not in that camp.

Why is every surface ship a Destroyer these days? The Zumwalt looks Cruiser-ish to me.

...a huge flat walled target... It's not a target if you can't get a lock on it. Flat surfaces bounce radar off to the side and not back at the enemy.

Never could figure out the return to the antiquated ram bow, which the Navy dropped on battleship designs in 1917 in favor of the cruiser bow.

I does look like the CSS Virginia
aka Merrimack

Radar reflectivity is reduced for cruise missiles coming in at low altitudes.

I am not in that camp. The naval architects who designed this monstrosity must have been thinking about fighting Star Wars battles in the heavenly ether.
I'm surprised it didn't turn turtle in the fist heavy sea encountered.

Wow! THAT's a destroyer? I must be in a time warp. Here's the destroyer I rode on back in '69/'70. I feel like a dinosaur.
