Navy Aegis destroyers built at Bath Iron Works (BIW) in Maine are outfitted with 'missile defense interceptors' and first-strike attack Tomahawk cruise missiles. So these destroyers are the Pentagon's 'sword and shield'.
These warships are currently deployed just off the coasts of Iran, Russia and China.
BIW is currently building a slew of these new destroyers as the US ramps up its aggressive war fighting capability.
In order to pay for all this expensive technology, the US government is cutting social spending, education and environmental programs.
BIW is owned by the General Dynamics Corporation.
