Jul. 15th, 2008 08:58 amSo, I read via Lawyers, Guns and Money that the US Navy has decided it doesn't need more battleships DDG-21s. These 14,000 ton "destroyers" (the size of a WWII heavy cruiser) are proving entirely too expensive and unwieldy for real-world use. Instead, the Navy plans to build more 8,000 ton Burke-class destroyers. (8,000 tons is a WWII cruiser's weight.) Common sense has found the Admiralty.
Over the weekend, I got to ride in my neighbor's new Prius. It was surprisingly roomy inside, and tricked out with all kinds of stuff, including a backup camera. Nice, but she just got it this week after being on a wait-list since May.
I'm in meetings from 11:30 on, including a writers group this evening, so enjoy your day.
