These naval aviators train tirelessly to protect our country from domestic and international threats. Continuous and sometimes exhaustive…

We certainly cannot use the CGX as it has the same problem as the Zumwalt of being too expensive. I'm thinking of an altered design of the Arleigh Burke Flight III Class that would focus more on the necessary specifications of a cruiser.

These systems would act as short-ranged, self-defense systems against drones, boats, and incoming enemy projectiles. LaWSs would replace defensive missiles and…
