The $3.5 Billion Destroyer

The biggest destroyer built for the Navy is ready to go into the water. The christening of this first-in-class warship was canceled a week ago because of the government shutdown. But plans call for the Zumwalt to be moved to dry dock in Maine and floated without fanfare. The Zumwalt will remain at dockside for final outfitting. It's the first new class of destroyer launched at Bath Iron Works since 1989. The destroyer is named for the late Adm. Elmo "Bud" Zumwalt. The ship will cost more than $3.5 billion. That's more than three times the cost of previous destroyers.
