If it makes us feel better, The German Navy has stuck itself with new crappy ships. https://www.wsj.com/articles/german-...s&page=1&pos=1
It's behind their pay wall. However, it's not on the newsfeed on my phone. Huh?
About the comments - it's interesting to watch fanboy debates in other genre. We have AIWB, Glock love hate, the old 9 vs 45.
There is a a Zumwalt fan boy that says all will be well when they put ray guns and rail guns on the ship! Wow. He likes the idea of the ship getting in close to use its guns (if they ever work). Everything I read nowadays says getting a ship close in is a losing proposition. It's stealthy appearance means crap when you are 80 miles off shore. Some guy in a fishing boat will see you.
