Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

Talked to a colleague, who has a decent understanding of ship design and who has worked on railguns in the past, and he thinks it would need to be nuke powered given its size and everything they plan put on it.

Don't think that's the plan though... at least for now. Seems like DDG 1000 was going to do most of what has been pitched. May see a similar plant, scaled up. I imagine going nuke would significantly increase the cost.

Do you have a Star Trek video game you can recommend? I still like Star Trek Starfleet Command 2 from about 2000.

I haven’t played any Star Trek video games in over 20 years, so my knowledge is dated, to say the least. There was a Trek-themed RTS we used to play in college that was pretty fun- on the same order as other RTSs of the day, it was all about out-producing the other guy.

He said there may be a significant range penalty if not, especially given the claimed size, weight and weapons.

So, they're just going to slap an A1B in there and call it good? I can't imagine NR being down with that - especially on a short timeline.
