Zumwalt: The U.S. Navy’s Stealth Destroyer Looks Like A ‘Historic’ Failure
Story by Harrison Kass •

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
