We're talking about a scaled-up USS Zumwalt, right?
Instead of 15,000 tons our new battle-arsenal ship will be 30,000+ tons and will do everything the Zumwalt does except more & cheaper?
But with nuclear power, it won't be all that cheap.
So, can somebody explain how one 30,000 ton ship will do a job more & better than two 15,000 Zumwalts, or three+ Arleigh Burkes?
What weapons go on a 30,000 ton "arsenal" ship that won't fit in smaller, more numerous, destroyers?
There is no need for a Battleship. The Zumwalt class destroyers are larger and heavier than the Ticonderoga class cruisers.
When the Zumwalts main weapon system becomes available, the magnetic rail gun; everything within 250 miles of its position will be in range.
