The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump did make a big mistake with this, though: he put his name on it.

That means that every democrat will view the ship as a target to destroy rather than something the Navy has needed for 20 years. Instead of thinking through what we need at sea they’ll rush to cancel it just to stick it to The Bad Orange Man.

And btw big radars —> tall superstructures —> more instability at sea unless you increase the draught to accommodate them. This is what I mean when I say the Burke hull design has reached its limits.

Can anyone think of a reason why you’d need a really big radar on board a blue water naval vessel? A radar that can see (and target) objects in outer space at the height of their trajectories?
