These New US Navy Ships Are a Cut Above the Rest
 
The US Navy is in the process of revamping a good portion of its inventory. As such, we're seeing new ships launching over the next few years. Some are already active today, as you'll see throughout today's list. Today, we're diving into the latest ships used by the US Navy.

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

My preference would be to serve on a Destroyer.  More topside space.  Smaller crew, you get to know everyone. More traditional warship.

The new stealthy models (Zumwalt class) don't seem to have much of a promenade deck.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yup, they're almost like a submarine that just runs on the surface all the time...

Even the bow reminds me of what you'd get if you bred an old fleet boat with a dreadnaught.
