This article is a bit too one-sided for me to take seriously.
The cost overruns seem modest compared to what I see occur regularly in big aerospace projects (not just 25% or 50% but 300 or 500%). F35 cost is absolutely absurd, for instance.
I saw basically no mention of the extra capabilities that a fully electric ship like this could provide, it all was just a long list of down sides.
