20060701 KDDC USS Wizbang Monitor Class Destroyer
Bubbleheads vs. Skimmers
July 1st, 2006
I thoroughly enjoyed the Wizbang post, "For Navy geeks only," about the "Navy's next-generation destroyer project, known over the last few years as DD-21 (21st-century destroyer), DDX (experimental destroyer), and currently DDG-1000..." He was able to obtain an obsolete artist's rendering, which is posted above.
For more informaton on the "Next-Generation Zumwalt Destroyer," go here.
I served in the jarhead reserves, but my Dad served in the Navy, in the Pacific on flattops during WWII. I was amused with the comments in the comment section. Be sure to see Wizbang's post and be double sure to read the comments.
As for the artist's rendering, I kinda thought it looked like the CSS Virginia (formerly the USS Merrimack,) myself. You can find additional information here.
For the commenter that mentioned a "Monitor Class" warship, please see here for more information. That was right on the money. The USS Monitor was the first and that class continued until 1937.
