A new article on Zumwalt: http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/us-navy-poised-to-take-ownership-of-its-largest-warship/ar-BBt48oq?li=AAggv0m Capt. James Kirk? Really? He should have his own ship "Enterprise"!

Nice to see she's getting close to commissioning Biggs! Pretty cool ship...ugly, but cool! Funny how they chose a similar bow design to that of the pre-dreadnaughts!

LOL! Maybe they should guild the bow like the old battlewagons for fun! Such the plain design....I get it...detect-ability, but beauty is almost removed! Talk about an easy build!

Something like this? http://navsource.org/archives/01/005/maine94d.jpg Click on image for super-size! This is the USS Maine. I really love those pre-dreadnoughts!

Exactly! Sure it would screw with the stealthiness...but if you can hit your target from 100 miles away the stealthy points seems almost mute!
