Just read an article on the US Navy's newest destroyer, The USS Zumwalt; named for a fine forward looking CNO in my opinion. I feel competent to reflect on the entry after 26 years in JP Jones' canoe club. But it seems the fancy new main battery, envisioned to shoot 75+ nautical miles, cost $880,000 a shot. The Zumwalt magazine is designed for 600 rounds! Seems the budget only affords for 30 rounds to be purchased. Hey, I learned that trying to feed a Desert Eagle 50AE was beyond my budget. But it seems like the current administration (at all levels of Command) needs a schooling in fiscal responsibility. At these prices perhaps the Iowa class battleships could be brought for yet another tour of duty.
