it's ridiculously hard hitting. Problem is there is only 3 in the Navy. The original design looked good on paper, but a lot of problems were encountered. 27 were originally planned to be built, but only 3 were actually completed (The program suddenly became expensive). They didn't hold as much missile cells as intended and due to the hull shape, it is stealthy, but unstable in rough seas.

And fun fact: the main US field artillery is actually Russian made (Just producing with a license).

TBH, we would probably see a Calibre increase as time goes on (The T-14 may see a new 152mm gun as it's new armament).

...It certainly was and is an unconventional design for a ship, walking away from thousands of years of learned ship design. I wondered when I saw it how It’d handle rough seas.

I’m gonna keep hope alive for a MOAB slingshot. Meanwhile war is great business; business, baby, is booming
