Re: US Navy's Newest Destroyer DDG-1000
I honestly didn't think I would live to see warships look like this. I saw on National Geographic the designs for the new class of battleships and carriers and they look sci-fi like this thing, but the performance is awesome. It is rumored that the new ships can make 360 turns without moving forward with the new propulsion system, which now works more like a really huge jet ski. They are also 70% faster and a lot more efficient than the fastest ships out now ..... the subs must look really cool but nobody can get pics of the newest top secret class being built right now. Really cool stuff, and it really shows how far we have come in aviation and maritime in just over one century.
I can't imagine what ships will look like in 2120. Its a trip!

He isn't an airdale. Besides his middle initial is wrong. His is A. and it needs to be T.

Wikipedia:
"On 1 December 2012, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced that CVN-80 would be named USS Enterprise. The information was delivered during a pre-recorded speech as part of the inactivation ceremony for the previous Enterprise (CVN-65). The future Enterprise (CVN-80) will be the ninth U.S. Navy ship to bear the name."

Re: US Navy's Newest Destroyer DDG-1000
Les is correct, as all CVN guys are airdales, and there is a scheduled CVN-80 to be next Big "E".
