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...
I assure you that I am not offended by your comment because I think I understand where you are coming from. But we personally do know a member of the Zumwalt family. We care about her and respect her greatly. We last saw her a month ago at a Veterans Day event put on by one of our local VFWs. The Zumwalts are unquestionably a great and patriotic family. I will not go into detail, but ironically the ship seems to have some parallels with some of the family members which probably only those who are acquainted with them would recognize.
