#1 Another Seawolf.

#2 By comparison, the UK's Type 45 destroyer costs "Over £1,050M per ship inc R&D".

I know, enough electricity for lasers and rail guns. But at 4.4 billion dollars?

At least the Royal navy has six of theirs.

#10 Shipman, I agree that the Seawolf-class is an excellent sub. But it is so expensive that we can't afford more than 3. The same applies to the Zumwalt-class.

#11 the civil war ship Monitor had an even smaller radar profile although the angles are more Merrimac

#12 The Monitor was a littoral combat ship (LCS).
