en detrimento de los Zumwalt

* The Navy cap its DDG 1000 program at three ships to be built at Bath Iron Works in Maine, while restarting DDG 51 efforts by Northrop Grumman at its Ingalls shipyard in Mississippi. He did not put a number on how many additional DDG 51s the Pentagon will aim to purchase. Gates was clearly worried about the ability of the Navy and industry to "smoothly" hammer out the contractual details of making this plan work.

"Even if these arrangements don't work out, the DDG 1000 program would end with the third ship and the DDG 51 would continue to be built in both yards," Gates said. If the Pentagon and industry are unable to turn Gates' plan into contractual reality, he said, "the department will likely build only a single prototype DDG 1000 at Bath and then review our options for restarting production of the DDG 51." The latter, Gates warned, would limit the number of ships the Navy could buy "and cut workload in both shipyards."

Pd: soy al unico que le recuerda a los barcos de fin del XIX con la proa asi?

Lo que se, es que se contempla construir tres nada más (cómo mucho)

La nueva serie que sustituira a los Nimitz ya esta en el agua (CVN 77).

El reactor es mas potente 205 MW(en dos reactores) frente a los 280 000 shp(solo encuentro la potencia a la salida del eje no la del reactor... shp=bhp*rendimiento de la linea de ejes... osea que pongamos que sea 285 000 bhp) de su predecesor...

Y qué hay por debajo de los Ticonderoga y de los Burke???
