Well, it makes sence that the navy is building all but the battleships. There really no need for the battleships anymore. Now don't get me wrong, they are sweet ships. But lack a major air-defense, out side of the 4 phalanx CIWS. The 5" Dp-guns are not effective against airtargets. That was a big problem in gulf war 1. There was around 6 silkworm anti-ship missiles at the ships in the gulf. The UK was credited for taking down two of those missile heading for our battleships.
They do need a replacement for the cruisers. Maybe a larger version of the A.Burk DDG's.
