The Zumwalt also costs more money than refitting TWO Iowa-class ships, has inferior armament and armour to the Iowa and is overall spinning out of control financially and technologically. But then that's the Navy for you, they always want the most expensive, fanciest ships with the most technology packed into it.
Every modern battleship design i've read on these forums and on the web has been cheaper than the Zumwalt, and most feature superior firepower. I think the Zumwalt is beginning to stink of white elephant. In case you haven't heard that phrase, a white elephant is a supposedly valuable object whose cost and upkeep exceed it's usefulness. In my eyes, the Zumwalt is becoming a white elephant.
