I know several people who have worked on this project..........they call it the widow maker and they arent talking about killing the enemy. This thing has been in development/testing for almost 20 years, I had an oportunity to get in on the ground floor of development in 1986 and passed it up to go on Embassy Duty, now they are talking about another 8 years before it hits the fleet in any numbers. Seems like a huge waste of time and money to me.
