    Is this some kind of carrier car wash?

        What does NBC stand for? Does it have something to do with nuclear radiation?

          NBC as in MSNBC; a bunch of journalists from the Peawiener network came aboard, so they went into high seas afterwards to wash away the residual journo filth.

          Congress: gee are you sure you want ALL your carriers to be nuclear? seems kinda expensive
          Navy: yes
          Congress: let's have a couple of gas-powered ones just in case
          Navy: but I
          Congress: YOU HEARD
          Navy: oh all right

            It's also used for fire suppression so he's ight technically.
            Not that it would do anything but spread the fire initially, but eventually it would push the oil of fuel overboard, so for large fires it can actually help.

      As long as they don't try to cram too much into the hull or try to tailor it specifically for new tech that's still in testing and subject to change. And don't pussy out and cancel the order because the initial unit cost is high. Ideally they should be building 40-60 of these things, not 20.

        Basically all the tech is off the shelf, and I wouldn't be shocked to see an upgraded model after the initial 20 get built for another round of 20 boats.

          I know, but somehow the US is still over a billion for the initial unit while the Euros are generally between 500-800 million. This should be dead simple but I don't trust the navy not to find a way to frick it up at this point.

            US boats get Aegis baseline 10 and AN/SPY-6(V)3
            Also the US EW systems likely cost quite a bit.

            Not to mention the increased engine power output and associated electrical system upgrade.

              Don't forget that's is essentially an all new Hull (It's both wider and longer than FREMM) with a new superstructure (To fit the US Systems). The ships are barely FREMMs at this point.

                This is actually a good thing, from previous experience of US shipbuilders, taking a hull of fixed dimensions and trying to make your equipment fit inside of it when it was originally designed for it, is STUPID and expensive, and NEVER works out.

                So customizing the hull shape/size for the US systems is actually probably going to save money in the long run.
