The US Navy has forgotten what warships are for and how to buy them. Makes me sad.

These really were waste of money! They have no idea how to employ them.

It was a bizarre idea in the first place to spend so much money on a stealthy design whose primary mission was shore bombardment. I think they should either replace the superstructure with a more useful design and use them as cruiser type flagships (probably not worth the expense) or fit them as air defence ships which could operate as pickets.
