I dont know guys im no USN expert but from what I get he has spent time thinking this through from a design stand point it appears expensive and maybe it is but still worth a shot at a drawing board if she passes critical design phases and tests IMO. Remember guys only an idea .Grant you several armament and sensor issues abound but if you could work out a suitable modern stable fast surface attack weapons platform to begin with im sure the rest could fall into place with some major extrapolation concerns. Now Defcon if you could only get to someone (grant you anyone with clout in the USN) to listen to your ideas (albeit they will thumb their nose at anything even remotely called a battleship nowadays) you may just start an idea for something worth building who knows maybe even replace destroyers alltogether at some point like the DDX program is supposed to. This all in theory ofcoarse. I like your ideas and wish you luck. An interesting post none the less.
