Singapore: A super-stealthy warship that could underpin the US navy’s China strategy will be able to sneak up on coastlines virtually undetected and pound targets with electromagnetic “railguns” right out of a sci-fi movie. But at more than USD 3 billion a pop, critics say the new DDG-1000 destroyer sucks away funds that could be better used to bolster a thinly stretched conventional fleet. An outspoken admiral in China scoffed that all it would take to sink the high-tech American ship is an armada of explosive-laden fishing boats. (AP)
