" Design changes driven by shrinking defense budgets have robbed the ship of some of its stealth characteristics — one of its marquee features."

" Northrop Grumman's Cullin said costs increased in part because the ship still was being designed two years into its construction. High-tech systems installed in the ship also were a factor."

recipe for disaster - yet they're gonna build another 9 of them, and the first one's cost 1.8billion dollars!
