32 reduced down to three?

The tumblehome hull design is brave choice given how many times it’s been tried in history and then given up on due to instability when hit.

i dont know... I may not be an aerospace engineer, but I cannot see that bow would take kindly to seas over 20 feet at 20+ knots... they better have some decent support structure for that superstructure...

That’s about 20 or so feet longer than a Tico, but it’s still a DDG, eh?

Seven billion dollars better NOT be a DDG. It better be a BBNG or something like that!

Darn thing better be Super Dreadnaught!
