Those classes delivered actual ships to the fleet. The new Cancellation Classes will just eat up funding enough for an actual fleet but gets cancelled before delivering anything substantial.

Just think of all the profits that can be made if you go in from the very start knowing you won’t have to actually deliver any finished products! Just keep the PowerPoints rolling, cash the government cheques, ‘spend’ that money so it can’t be clawed back, and kick back and wait for the inevitable cancellation order. If you are really good, you may even be able to take a final big wet bite out of the taxpayers by collecting on cancellation fees in the contract.

I reckon Trump will sign contracts for construction of 2 ships. He's saying that this will be in 2.5 years time when he is still in office, but this likely means construction starts before the design is finalised. And he may structure the contract so it is cheaper to continue building than cancelling.

Presumably this replaces the DDG(X) programme which is supposed to result in a replacement for the Arleigh Burkes.
At a minimum, I would expect it to wreak havoc with ongoing Arleigh Burke production.

Apparently some Epstein files can be un-redacted as it's text still there, just masked with black background color.

Someone built a open source python script to mass un-redact some Epstein files. Talk about incompetence....

The uncensored documents combined. Instead of using the redact function in Acrobat, they just used black highlight. Truly stunning incompetence or deliberate leaking.

EDIT: But wait! There's more!
