Change of plans. The Zums are just gonna be experimental platforms for different new technologies like railguns & power management system modules. Arleigh Burke class will stay the main destroyer work horse for the next few decades at least.

How the hell can she only pump out 80MW when the Burke can easily birth 80-100MW with 4 GTs?

LCS got priority

"Guys, We have 4 billion to spend by the end of this week or the money is gone and will fund poor black cities, where all the niggers are."

That's how the Zumwalt came to be.

When you put it like that, it doesn't seem so bad.
