Just look at the ERGM. It was not supposed to cost alot and work wonders. It was also supposed to be operational by about 2003. It's 2007, no ERGM, and over 5 billion dollars in costs, and the thing doesn't work well, and last I heard it got cancelled in favor of the Alliant Techsystems projectile, which has better features, works fairly decently, costs less, is more versatile, and has had almost all the R&D paid for by the company, and works in the 5"/54 guns rather than requiring a longer weapon. That's very typical about how things are, and the current defense policy makes it even worse for the fleet. It really upsets me.
