How a gun-heavy cruiser might fare in Congress

How might Congress receive a 25,000-ton, gun-heavy cruiser derived from the Zumwalt hull?

The discussion speculates about administration backing and industrial lobbying; it does not establish how Congress would decide.

The question proposes a 25,000-ton Zumwalt-derived cruiser with several guns and vertical-launch missiles. Clarke speculates that the administration discussed in the exchange could support it. He then suggests that, under a different administration, gun manufacturers and shipbuilders might seek support together. This is an assessment offered in the conversation, without evidence of a congressional decision or a commitment to the proposed design.
