I'm told that there just two basic types of warships. Submarines and Targets.

She can't project power anyway like that of a Nimitz carrier so I'm wondering where the value for money aspect comes in

^ what you see is the beginning of the evolution, of what is to become a "star destroyer", in a few centuries

The best looking thing to leave the naval shipyards but if you can't see her....

The looks violate my sense for visual aesthetics, and the price tag violates my sense for reason. Easily the ugliest ship I've seen so far.

As a lubber of land, I need some learnin' here.
 Why is this a destroyer and not a cruiser? Does it have to do with its mission? But I would think that a cruiser is more likely to be used independently whereas a destroyer is probably supporting something else. One website I visited hinted that cruisers were on the way out and that the future is in these more capable destroyers. Does that sound right? Is it a funding issue? We got funding for a destroyer and ain't got no funding for cruisers? or is there a logical reason? Could it be called a destroyer simply because the Navy wants to call it a destroyer? Lubbing minds want to know.
