She leaks, eh? Well, what can we expect anyway for a mere pittance of $4,400,000,000.69? A boat that floats?

My neighbor worked for, knew Zumwalt. I bet he is doing about 15,000 RPM.

There seems to be a bunch of genius thought going on around here. Actually not an uncommon thing to happen, that is why new vessels go through “trials”. This is a very important step in shipbuilding, intended to reduce the radar signature.

Propeller shaft seal leak - not unheard of during shakedown/sea trials.

Not that I wouldn’t demand compensation from the company who did the work, just saying it is only getting news because it’s the “latest and greatest” doing it’s first run about.

Just run a diagnostic. That always seemed to work in Star Trek: Next Generation.

Yes, but the Zumwalt has a state-of-the-art neonatal ward.

Americans use to have a “can do” spirit. I once saw a documentary on the American space program. Time after time, in beginning stages, the missiles would ignite, then blow up and crumble on the launch pad.

They finally got it right.

If that were to happen today, there would be calls to abandon the whole project. People would snicker, poke fun, etc.

They don’t make ‘em like they used to. Ya get lots of bells & whistles but durability and reliability? Not so much.
