Check out this new article about the newest proposed stealth warship, what would be the most advanced ship of it's kind and also the most expensive at over 3 Billion per. Are we better using our money to move forward with the biggest and best or should we share the wealth to programs that need it most now?
US Navy hopes stealth ship answers a rising China
From the info, I'd say they should delay this type of thing for the time being. It seems to be one of those ideas that is just a little early and impractical for the technology it requires. While it currently costs a ton of money to develop and produce, a similar, newer ship designed in future years may become more practical as technology and materials become more widespread, researched and refined. I guess I really don't know how military tech and that type of stuff works...but if production costs are spiraling and the orders been cut from 36 to 3, I'd assume that the ship simply is harder to make than they thought, and as such, maybe they should hold off on forcing a couple through at this time.
