Of course, it comes from the Defense Department.
The new 155mm projectiles for the USS Zumwalt's main battery are too expensive to fire. Cost overruns increased the price tag by a factor of 10, so that each round was $800,000 and the contract was canceled.
The Navy is looking to replace it with either the Army's Excalibur system or a rail gun. No word on whether everyone in the Navy's Project Management Office has been reassigned to deck swabbing duty.
