    USS Zumwalt

    Elmo Zumwalt to be precise



    The captain of this new penis enlargement is, of course, one James Kirk.

    Who the shit needs a new $4 billion ship like this? We will never again have any great naval battles on this planet. Sure, sometimes they park off the coast, some Middle Eastern country and fire away a cluster of missiles, but rest of the time they're crusing the oceans costing tonnes.

    Elmo Zumwalt, what a name. Sounds like a muppet married a german kitchen gadget.

    Game theory. If they don't exist they may be required. Best alternative for everyone is they exist but are not required.

      You know how many starving Saudi Arabian royalty you can feed for $4 billion?

          Fuck's upset you this morning?
          I already know that he was some admiral who fought in both world war 2 and Vietnam with some 30 years in the navy. I don't even have to click the link.

          I thought the name was funny.

          Let's pray now for our admirals who travel thousand miles to shoot at people.

            The Elmo Zumwalt looks like a slight improvement on the CSS Merrimac of 1862...

              How is it pronounced?

              (Like it looks in English, Zum-Wolt, or Tsum-Valt, as a closer approximation to German?)

                Also, the ship isn't designed for "great naval battles". It's designed for land bombardment. Though it seems this particular design, which went way over budget, is being spun as a technology testing ground.

                  Who cares what it does? It's potentially the shittest Airfix model yet.

                  I made the Graf Spee back in the day, and it was a f*cking masterpiece.

                    It's a "stealth destroyer", whose odd looking design and materials used makes it look much, much smaller on radar than it is (and so would be mistaken for, say, a fishing boat). Critics have also said that in high seas it could flip over like a kayak.

                      Guy, he pronounced it Zum Wolt. Henry the K pronounced it the other way.

                          They'll just order another one if it flips over, there's more where this came from. Can't cut corners when fighting terror (I guess naval designers have taken this literally here).

                          Zumwolt apprently died from exposure to asbestos on his ships, and his son who also served died from Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam, cancer at 42.
