From their "Black Label" series, an all new tooled kit of the newest ship in the US Navy! This sci-fi looking ship was launched last October and is to be in full service by 2016.
At an approximate cost of $1.4 billion for the Zumwalt alone, only three 14,654-ton Zumwalt-class destroyers will be built by General Dynamics. With a crew of 142, these ships will reach speeds of 30.3 knots. Their armament includes 20 MK 57 VLS missile modules, two 155mm guns and two Mk 46 30mm cannons, plus she will carry two SH-60 helicopters and three MQ-8 Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

Labled as kit number DRA7141, Dragon plans to have this kit available for June.

Not detracting from Adm. Zumwalt, but the ship does have an uncanny resembilance to Civil War ironclads - CSS Albermarle, CSS Tennessee, USS Dunderberg. Though it is slightly larger.
