All, as a former US Navy destroyer sailor I can really appreciate this newest warship...I'm sure you can too.

That's an amazing looking ship reminds me of the SR71 Blackbird. Is the shape something to do with minimising the radar signature.

Yes, every US warship in the future will be using radar minimizing shapes to counter ship-killers like Iran's Sunburn nuclear missile.

That's not the one they've been developing with Microshaft that runs on a version of Winblows, is it?  I'd be scared to death to get into a fight in something I might need to re-boot half way through the battle!

THis thing does look pretty mean, though...

In case anyone is wondering, Littoral Combat is defined as the area from a line on shore at the high tide mark up to one-hundred miles inland.

And as my Afghani-based Soldier son tells his two special ops teams members, "When you care enough to send the very best, shoot 'em in the head." Huah!
