The Navy now has a new destroyer-the USS Zumwalt-a stealth vessel that was built with the idea of making it undetectable by enemy radar or surveillance. The cost of the ship is reported as $ 3.8 BILLION. It will not join the fleet until 2018. Two sister ships-the USS Michael Monsoon and the USS Lyndon B. Johnson-are in the works at the Bath Shipyard in Maine. Those ships with cost $ 2.8 BILLION and $ 2.4 BILLION respectively. And this to fight a land-based terrorist organization far from the sea.
