That is a good looking ship.
And it has a gun!
Better looking than what came out of Bath Iron Works a few months ago. For sure.
If the US had decided to make one of these it would still be in the design phase. Mission creep would have expanded the scope of the requirements to where it cost 10x as much, displaced 4x times as much, could fight any kind of sea or littoral battle single-handed... And in the end, 10 years from now the Navy would get 3 of these that sort-of work. Well, just as soon as the block-xyz software is available...
