Kind of reminds me of the South’s Merrimack - if you squint real hard.

Easy to score a powerful direct hit on the side of that ship. I would not want to be rammed by that ship, however.

It would be really embarrassing to see the thing taken out by a school of drones shaped like yellowfin tuna.

The pictures shown at the site are from at or right after its christening in April 2014.

They have made a LOT of progress since:

See my Flickr Album for a bunch of more recent pictures:

Either late this year, or early in 2015, she will go to sea for her sea trials. That will be something to look forward to.

Next-gen Zumwalt-class destroyer General Dynamics Bath Iron Works launched the first of the Navy’s next-generation Zumwalt-class destroyers on Monday at its Bath, Maine, shipyard.

They're going to build another one?
