USS Zumwalt ammo is expensive!!!
This new ships ammo for its guns is really spendy, at $800,000 to $1 Million a piece. Ship can carry 600 rounds, but how do you afford that,lol

Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?! :nope:
|
A simple fix.....do as the Royal Navy does and send the ships out on patrol with near-empty magazines.

It has guns? I thought that it was designed on the principle that if you make something ugly enough, the enemy will run away before you have to fire a shot. :03:

yeah it has guns,lol 155mm to be exact. These new rounds are actually a missile. The Navy wanted to order 28 of these ships at first, but with a price tag of $4 Billion a piece they had to trim the order back to three. They were quoted a price of $50K a piece for the rounds if they bought 28 ships, but the price jumped when they cut back the order for 3 ships. Get us coming and going on this deal!

So LMC won the contract by bidding $50,000 cost per round and after getting the contract, they "discovered" that the actual cost would be $800,000 and no one is going to jail?
I best some LMC exec got a huge bonus for pulling this off. |
Could be someone was given an 'under the table' licence to print money.

Could fill the front with concrete and use it as a ram I guess. :hmmm:
