ok.
it is ugly as sin, but the design principles are sound.
I have a personal preference for the eventual development of fully external IPS pods, as it reduces the number of holes in the hull...
but ok, a good design overall.

I assume there will be an integration of stealth materials in the profile above the waterline, plus full prairie-masker underneath.
Stealth costs money.

(but none of that explains the 125% price hike for structural steel in 2004.)
