Give the tired old cliches and stereotypical nonsense a rest eh?
Actually he IS spot on.
BAe is dead in the water.
They just don't know it yet.
BTW from another thread
Think the Zumwalt is a bit different, it uses fancy hybrid shell/missile technology which is why the rounds cost $800k each, and since they're not building many more ships the supply of said rounds has dried up.
The 155mm is a guided munition but because the class buy went from 32 down to 3 hulls munitions have become extremely expensive. It is not widely known, but BAE is responsible for the 155mm.
