No offense taken. We promise any adversary that we will leave his face untouched when he loses the war. We have no problems standing over a defeated and fallen handsome opponent.

More Destroyers Ordered by U.S. Navy
The restart of the U.S. Navy's DDG 51 Arleigh Burke destroyer building program swung in to a higher gear Sept. 26 with the award of two construction contracts and an option for a third.
THE NEWEST ARLEIGH Burke-class destroyer, the Spruance, will be commissioned Oct. 1 at Key West, Fla. Two more ships of the class were ordered Sept. 26 along with an option for another.
The new ships will be delivered with Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) capability, giving them the ability to track and intercept enemy ballistic missiles. As currently configured, the DDG 1000s lack that ballistic missile defense capability.

I hope we can buy this beautiful warship.
Good God, you need a reality check.

It's a fine ship and there isn't anything remotely comparable to it. It's cost is astronomical and with the US economy in the state its in, I think the enthusiasm for such projects will simmer down.
