I believe we once planned to build over 30 of the new Zumwalt destroyers. Now we’re down to two and the program is over. Too expensive.

The DDG-1000 or Zumwalt-class are just too expensive and trying to cram too much gee-whiz tech into one package. If these two “super” DDGs are built, they'll be used for systems development mostly. I expect they will break a lot due to their mind-numbing complexity.
