The USS Kumwalt , Americas newest warship

[eddiesolo]

They may as well of put a fifty foot bright red flashing arrow above it with the words here we are written above it

I think we are doing the ship a disservice, after all the designers must have done studies on what is the best way forward...so when they take it to war...which will be soon no doubt...we shall see how it does in cowpat...sorry combat. Problem is this type vessel is designed for stealth approach and ship to shore attack, not really ship to ship, or ship to low level missile or aircraft attack, that would be interesting to see how it performs.

Think this myself , as soon as it fired anything it gives its position away so as a warship I doubt it would be any better than anything else at sea

Could you imagine two fleets of stealth warships looking for each other in the Atlantic or Indian Oceans it could make one of the most boring war films ever made lol

It'll do very well and avoid all radar etc, it'll slice through the seas onto its next encounter and be undetectable by all accounts until ...........

'' you're not going to believe this, but there's a right daft looking heap of pooh heading your way ..... Here's its position ..... Lay it on thick so ya hit it''

It's Fugly. It looks like it has already capsized, maybe that is a decoy for submarines. They should paint the numbers upside down too. Or maybe they have....
