[edit] Program cancellation

can anyone provide a SOURCE stating that the CG(X) was cancelled. 86.136.198.107 10:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

It would be very strange if it were cancelled, as the CG(X) is currently being designed and to my knowledge the design funding has not been cut. I'm going modify references to the cancellation to reflect the uncertainty. Notea42 19:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Far as I know, it is still a valid program. It is also called MAMDJF (Maritime Air and Missile Defense of Joint Force). 138.162.0.46 14:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where this cancellation talk is coming from. It may have something to do with the reduction in DD(X) procurement, but all the statements seem to suggest that the DD(X) will be used as a limited-buy tech demonstrator and that the CG(X) will be fully purchased.

I removed the cancellation mention after a quick web search revealed several articles discussing CG(X) as a current program:

[edit] "Cruiser"

If the only difference between the non-nuclear CG(X) and DD(X) is more VLS tubes, wouldn't it make more sense for them to turn it into "Block II" of the Zumwalt destroyer class? It would be much simpler if it was one single production line instead of two, if that's the only difference. Is there any other differences not mentioned in this article, because I'm failing to see why this ship would be called a cruiser. 70.137.169.123 (talk) 06:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
