Why The U.S. Navy Spent $500M On Railguns — And Then Cancelled Them
Why the U.S. Spent $500M on Railguns, And Then Cancelled the Program
#railgun #militarytechnology #navalwarfare
Railguns were supposed to change naval warfare forever, using electromagnetic force to launch metal projectiles at Mach 7, over 200 miles, without explosives. But after nearly $500 million and over a decade of development, the U.S. Navy quietly ended the program in 2021.
This video looks at how railguns work, what went wrong, and whether other countries like China and Japan will succeed where the U.S. failed.

Queen's Wharf is a multipurpose residential and entertainment precinct that is partially complete and partially under construction on either side of William Street in the central business district of Brisbane, Australia. The megaproject is one of Australia's biggest mixed-use precincts.[1]
In July 2015, the Queensland Government announced the Destination Brisbane Consortium of Star Entertainment Group, Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium, as the successful tenderer for the redevelopment. The mixed-use development will feature 2,000 apartments, 1,100 hotel rooms and a casino.[2][3][4] The project also includes a 1,500 seat-ballroom[5] and a Sky Deck observation platform with 360 degree views. The Sky Deck will be open to the public 24/7.[6] There will be around 50 new cafés, bars and restaurants in the resort. An oblong sculpture by artist Lindy Lee is located at the George Street entrance.[7]
The redevelopment includes the construction of four high-rise buildings and the Neville Bonner Bridge connecting the precinct to South Bank, as well as the repurposing of existing heritage-listed structures within the site. Work commenced in March 2018 with a preliminary 2022 completion date[8] that was updated to 2023, and again delayed to April 2024.[9] Treasury Casino closed on 25 August 2024. A staged opening began on 29 August 2024. Bad weather and the COVID-19 pandemic were blamed for the delay.[10]
