A towering ship
That tower pictured above is, in fact, a ship. It is a new destroyer called the Zumwalt. Work began on it in 1994 and it is expected to be ready by 2018. Total anticipated cost is $22 billion, which is 50 percent higher than projected a decade ago and it does not count another $9.1 billion spent in research and development on the overall project.
