DDG-1000

Stormy Seas for Stealth Destroyer - The Danger Room

While the ship looks damn cool it sounds like a terrible design, particularly if the Navy is going to fill part of its fleet with this kind of ship. It seems that the design is prone to flooding and capsizing. A ship of this design might work well in coastal operations but even there I imagine there is some serious concern. I just wish the Navy would spend a little less money on these 'advanced' designs and concentrate on building ships that will have a role in the 21st century.
