Nick Eatman U.S. Navy to build $3 Billion Stealth Destroyer
Sounds like a bargin.


$3 Billion Stealth Destroyer To Carry Futuristic Rail Gun



By 2014, the US Navy is planning to have a few $3 billion stealth destroyer ships at their disposal. The DDG-1000 will be able to sneak up coastlines undetected and will be able to devastate land targets with its futuristic rail gun.

The Associated Press reports that the stealth destroyer is being praised by the Pentagon as the “most advanced destroyer in history.” The ship will be used primarily in Asia but could also find itself in the Gulf region.

Adm. Jonathan Greenert, chief of naval operations, said:

“With its stealth, incredibly capable sonar system, strike capability and lower manning requirements – this is our future.”...

That's funny right there.....


I think it would be cool to have a stealth fleet. The Asia rim is getting pretty spooky w/ China these days.

China hasn't stopped spending militarily. Not the least bit of slow down from them. With all of the technology they have stolen from the US, you would think they would be the ones w/ a stealth destroyer and not us.

I get it...

I've got a prayer on my desk. It says, "Dear Lord, I pray that my place will never be with the cold, timid souls who do not compete yet criticize, for they never know or feel success or failure."

Military is a necessity. To say otherwise is ignorant.

Look at South Korea. Their military is so weak that they cannot defend themselves against North Korea. The only reason North Korea doesn't declare all out war on South Korea is because the US and other countries would step in.

Iraq was going broke under Saddam Hussein, so what did he do? He invaded a rich country that couldn't defend itself. (Kuwait)
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.

I agree. I would rather be head and shoulders above all others than not.

If the money is going to be spent on the Military no matter what, I would rather it be spent in other areas.

I like the idea of the rail gun...just don't really see the need for a "stealth" destroyer.

Remember the Philadelphia Experiment?

What does this bring to the table that a submarine can't do?

And the best lesson learned from the Iraq-Afghanistan conflict is that drones are the future.

Hint to Navy: build lots of cheaper radio-controlled drones.

A stealth destroyer is all about not getting the destroyer destroyed. It makes perfect sense.
