Zumwalt: The U.S. Navy’s Stealth Destroyer Looks Like A ‘Historic’ Failure

Although a full 40 percent larger than the Arleigh Burke, the Zumwalt’s radar cross section was the size of a fishing boat. But does it meet all of the hype?

Meet the Zumwalt
The Zumwalt-class destroyer was designed to be the future of the US Navy.

Incorporating ultra-modern stealth and weapon technology, 32 Zumwalt’s were planned for delivery – with the expectation that the new ship would replace the aging Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.
 
But when the Zumwalt program went hazardously overbudget – and the ship performed below expectations, plans to replace the proven Arleigh Burke changed.
 
The Navy pulled their support from the Zumwalt and asked Congress to stop delivering the troubled ship.

IMO, the LCS twin failure is worse, but it's a comparison of which rancid pile of crap smells worse.
