interestrateripoff Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zumwalt-class_destroyer The front seems to remind me of some Victorian era type ship. It certainly looks like no other ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffy666 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 and totally useless thanks to heartbleed. Yeah, but it'll be funny when some 14-year old manages to take control of one remotely through his Samsung S7 and pilots it up the Potomac to Washington...

EUBanana Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 15,000 tons, thats a hefty warship by modern standards! pretty much an old school battleship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheBlueCat Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 15,000 tons, thats a hefty warship by modern standards! pretty much an old school battleship. I guess it would need to be heavy to house a rail gun. If they ever manage to get the thing built and working it will be a truly terrifying weapon.

swissy_fit Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 How exactly is that ship powered? (Don't say with magic Brazilian infinite energy device) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntb Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 How exactly is that ship powered? (Don't say with magic Brazilian infinite energy device) Rolls Royce jet engines powering generators which provide power for electric propulsion and weapons.

StuG III Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 15,000 tons, thats a hefty warship by modern standards! pretty much an old school battleship. Yes, about the same as a pre-dreadnought. The reason it looks similar to the old ships is because the pre-dreads often had ram bows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
