I love your photoshop work and think that it is a big improvement.
If I would have read more of the article before commenting... I would have seen that every objection that I had was already included in the article in greater detail. Your points in previous posts are very valid as well. Occasionally something that looks like a duck and quacks like a duck or looks like a huge waste of taxpayer money actually ends up having redeeming qualities at some point.
LOL, I admit to being somewhat skeptical about the utility of the Zumwalt class (I didn’t have much respect for Zumwalt, and the ship is a real challenge for me) but I do know that a lot of money is expended on ship designs to include things like chaff dispensers, radar countermeasures, etc. which all serve to obscure or diminish the target cross section, and all of which may or may not work given the deployment circumstances or changes in technology.
If it is true that they can reduce the RCS small enough that a missile with terminal radar-based homing may have difficulty locking on...maybe it is worth a shot to see at a large scale.
Maybe...
