Yup, 122 vs 96 launch cells. Though rather than a measure of pure ship size that smaller number of launch cells might be connected to the Navys move away from "pray and spray" tactics, because the much larger Zumwalt class is only armed with 80 launch cells.

Getting a little off topic... I find it interesting that these ships are classed as destroyers. Looking at the ship class that preceded the Spruance, the Charles F. Adams class ships had a displacement of ~4,000 tons while the Spruance class ships displace 8,000 tons. The newer Flight 3 Arleigh Burke class destroyers

Here is an interesting read over on TTAC. Evidently a lot of the unsold and used Hummers ended up in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Ultimate driving machine...

Any car that is designed to look like it is RWD, but is built on a FWD platform.

The same thing happened to me, fortunately my dog is also a pitbull mix so she was able to hold her own until I wrangled the stray pit off of her. I went straight to calling the police(it was late and we don't have 24hr animal control in my city) to get the dog picked up. Suffice it to say I now walk my dog with a can

Here is a couple photos that I found on wiki commons of snow bound Ram trucks. The photos are less dynamic, but they at least picture approximately correct vehicles.

The Nepalese obesity rate is 10% vs 34.9% in the US. I am not judging your comment, just adding some sourced numbers.

The A-10 video... You have got to love that high bypass "worlds deadliest regional airliner" sound.

The first Focus was also known for it's high seating position. Funny how Ford always seems ether ahead of the times or behind the times with the Freestyle/Taurus X crossovers and the 1980s Escort strikes back 1.5 gen Focus respectively.

Most deadly bike rack ever.

But... but... the diamond quilting is worth at least $100 grand!

Or considering your avatar we could be the Citroën DS Safari driving rogue wagon Maquis!

Yes and we shall call ourselves the Brown(diesel manual wagon) coats!

I understand now, at the moment I drive a 5-door Mazda3. I am not defending sedans. I guess what I was trying to say is that more and more the (US) car market is becoming polarized in a way that only validates two types of vehicles, the sedan and the crossover.

I don't like sedans ether, but god forbid if car makers actually gave customers choice in regarding the layout of their vehicle.

Wow, crossovers are even going after sedans now. Is the goal to have everyone driving lifted plastic cladded hatchbacks by 2020?
