Something that uniform and smooth would actually have a relatively low radar cross section for something of that size. Meanwhile, the Zumwalt has plenty of greebling, for lack of a better word.
And the slippery stealth ship project will only cost $100 billion even though the ship is detectable by radar and it's prone to sinking. Then the project will delayed and the cost will first balloon to $200 billion. The saga has just begun.
Melts the hull and causes steam explosions to par-broil the crew.
An r/news redditor is ready with an explanation: "Minor technical issues are too be expected with brand new tech. And 'par-broil' is a gross exaggeration. Only one crewman had first degree burns and he's expected to probably survive."
Look, it's perfectly normal for a ship to flip upside and aggressively ram the sea floor during normal operations, happens all the time, nothing to make a big deal out of!
You say that but the Zumwalt class legit is the F35 in boat form. They cannot even afford to buy ammo for it so now the few they have will need to get new turrets and/or change mission roles. Also broke in the fucking Panama Canal

That's what it would actually look like if the US military tried to make one of these things

It'll run into problems when the demanded "VTOL drydocking capability" melts the hull and causes steam explosions to par-broil the crew.

If the F35 were a boat.
