Dave Majumdar, National Interest: Railguns, Lasers and Nuclear Power: The U.S. Navy's Next Super Ship?
While the U.S. Navy will start to build new Flight III Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers equipped with Raytheon's new AN/SPY-6 Air and Missile Defense Radar next year, the service will eventually have to develop a new surface combatant to replace the vintage DDG-51 and Ticonderoga-class hull-forms. Navy officials expect that such a new Future Surface Combatant (FSC) would enter service in the 2030s—but the Navy has to start planning for those vessels now since construction needs to start around 2028. No one—not even the Navy—knows exactly what those new ships might look like.
But we can make certain assumptions even at this early stage. The new ship will need to generate a huge amount of electrical power to run future naval weapons which many predict will include lasers and railguns. It's also very likely that the FSC will need to simultaneously run extremely power-hungry radars and other systems. Indeed, when current deputy defense secretary Bob Work was at the Center of for a New American Security, or popularly known as CNAS, he described his vision for a future Navy fleet that would rely on railguns and lasers for fleet defense. The addition of energy weapons would solve the problem of magazine depth—basically running out of missiles during a pitched battle. "[Lasers] would be able to shoot down cruise missiles coming in that are relatively close," Work had said. "The electromagnetic rail gun is really horizon to horizon; if it flies, it dies."
WNU Editor: This ships are years away from being constructed and deployed .... but what is being planned will definitely produce a Navy vastly different from naves of old .... that is if everything works out.
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
