Yeah. Lucky find. A keeper. I've blown it up several percent and it keeps it's resolution as sharp as you see it here.

Zumwalt is in San Diego for weapons trials, and appears it finally has a weapon installed.

Billions of dollars for a ship currently only able to fire Bushmaster 30mm cannons at drones and small boats. You can see the pair on roof of the helo hangar.

Jeering aside, they have tested firing ESSM from it and will test SM-2 next year. At that point it will at least be a ship capable of combat operations, albeit mainly as the world's most expensive Tomahawk missile chucker.

When I looked at Carrier based Fighters, there were only two real standouts on the list. That was the F-18E/F and the Rafale. All the others were well below the mark. The Rafale cannot go head to head with something like a F15 or a SU-27/35 but you can buy a whole bunch of them for the same cost of one of the big fighters. Smaller countries that don't have almost unlimited budgets are well advised to look at the Rafale.
