They need to market it better, and get Congress to see further down the road than the next election. Putting the Zumwalts into series production, and using them for the Ticoderoga replacement, will be cheaper in the long run than a completely new class possessing equal capability. As for "distributed lethality" you still need shooters and sensors, and the Zumwalts are the only ships that can carry the MK57 or larger cells for the weapons that will be needed going forward.
