USNI News: Navy Unveils Next-Generation DDG(X) Warship Concept with Hypersonic Missiles, Lasers
ARLINGTON, Va. – The Navy wants its next warship to fire hypersonic missiles and lasers that would be ten times more powerful than the service’s existing laser weapons, according to the most detailed outlook to date of the DDG(X) next generation warship issued by the service.
The warship, the largest the Navy’s attempted in more than 20 years, is designed to provide the service with the power to drive a new generation of directed energy weapons and high-power sensors that will follow the Navy’s current fleet of Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers. The warship is estimated to start construction in 2028, the Navy told USNI News last year.

How many engineers do the Chinese graduate than the US. Unless the vast majority of them are put into worthless pursuits chances are they might discover or invent more than the US engineers.
The US still leads in women studies, queer studies and other such majors.
Would you trust a women's studies major to design a warship? If I were short of engineers, I would rather risk a music major.
"Tens of millions can't read:
More than 30 million adults in the United States cannot read, write, or do basic math above a third-grade level.
But our competitors can read:
China in 2015 awarded 1.2 million bachelor's degrees in science and engineering, according to the National Science Foundation, six times the number in the United States, and the absolute number of Chinese graduates as well as the ratio of Chinese to American graduates have grown since then."
