>>32312594
Because it looks like a ship based design and not some Illuminati pyramid beast

Even the Russians are introducing hulls with RCS reducing features. Naval battle covers massive distances, radar detection is king and the numbers matter; everything you can do to present a smaller radar target makes you harder to spot, harder to track, harder to kill.

>>32312681
Zumwalt's stealth hull and AESA radar actually make it the USN ship best suited to going anywhere near DF-21D.

>>32311306

They look like floating prisons

does anyone have the spy-photo (not aerial) of the ship in construction in asia?

>>32315597
yup

>>32315645
Where are we in ship design now that the Zumwalts have been cancelled?

>>32311284

I'm curious. What was the context for this?

You could see them being built in Bath Maine, right off rt 1 , great views from the bridge. bretty cool

>>32315677
>they canceled the Zumwalts
source?

>>32315699

Port call in San Diego by the Chinese. As you can maybe guess, Zumwalt is just getting home from its shit-up in Panama. There's a link here: >>32312237

>>32315842
The order went from 32 to 3...

>>32315872
Three is not zero.

>>32315913
It might as well be.

>>32315918
Except its not.

Furthemore trump wants a bigger navy. Zumwalt is a way to get it there

This would be even better if the eventual Zumwalt railguns were able to be optionally supplied with nuclear projectiles

>>32316173
What? Why?

>>32316305

I shouldn't have to explain on /k/ why a nuclear-armed railgun is a good idea.

METAL GEAR?!?

>>32316560

m8 of course a railgun-miniaturized nuclear device would be this side of tactical. Great for coastal bombardment and close-in surface engagements. No big deal for the firing platform.

>>32315842
They're breaking down all over the goddamn place and can't complete basic missions.

>>32316677
The USS Zumwalt isn't even being sent on missions. It has another two years at least to test sub-systems.

Well whatever the case it's breaking down regularly.

It's almost as if the cost per unit skyrocketed when we slashed the production order!

>>32317152
More like slash and whine reduced the documentation and training budget and E-4s fucked up everything. These ships never have problems when the contractors take them out.

It's a stealth bbfag thread episode on /k/.

>>32312288
cant wait until they actually give this thing its spy3 radar so it can get rid of the furunos

>>32312710
Now that is some fucking aesthetic right there. Not this Zumwalt inverted bow horse shit.
