SEE THE AMAZING NEW 600′ FUTURISTIC U.S. NAVY SHIP THAT COST $4.8 BILLION TO BUILD

The largest destroyer ever built for the U.S. Navy headed out to sea for the first time Monday, departing from shipbuilder Bath Iron Works in Maine and carefully navigating the winding Kennebec River before reaching the open ocean where the ship will undergo sea trials.
More than 200 shipbuilders, sailors and residents gathered to watch as the futuristic 600-foot, 15,000-ton USS Zumwalt glided past Fort Popham, accompanied by tugboats.
Kelley Campana, a Bath Iron Works employee, said she had goose bumps and tears in her eyes.’This is pretty exciting. It’s a great day to be a shipbuilder and to be an American,’ she said. ‘It’s the first in its class. There’s never been anything like it. It looks like the future.’ [via TheDailyMail]
