That's pretty cool, I've never tried to build anything like that.

Just read the name of the Captain of the Zumwalt...........it's Capt. James Kirk......... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I wonder if the Zumwalt is going where no ship has gone before............ :cool:

(OK, it's James A. Kirk, not James T. Kirk, but close enough for jokes.)

It is said to have the radar signature of a fishing trawler and not the largest destroyer the US ever built,
at 600 feet in length. To me it looks like a submarine from a sci-fi movie............. :mrgreen:

Or a $300 million yacht owned by a Russian billionaire....... :cool:

It was also reported that the man nearly suffocated from the black bag they put over his head to prevent him
from seeing any secret equipment on the ship............ :lol:

Just kidding, but it's good to see our tax dollars helping people in this country for a change....

I was watching a YouTube video and spotted this among other photographs taken during the War including other ships.
