- defap 10y agoPretty sure the parent was talking about USS Zumwalt specifically, not the Zumwalt class as a whole. It's not unreasonable to consider the first hull a demonstrator at this point. There'd be countless improvements made as the class design matured over the course of a 32 hull production run.
