Canceling DD(X) destroyer would inflate CVN 21 carrier cost

Article Abstract:

The canceling of the next-generation DD(X) destroyer might increase the costs of the future CVN 21 aircraft carrier, which the members of the Congress are already complaining it to be very expensive. The CVN 21 program was planning to acquire the new technology developed for the DD(X) free of cost and killing the DD(X) program means that the cost of developing those systems will also be added to CVN 21.
