Waste of naval resources. There are very few reasons to do experimental naval architecture when we have CAD. And for what that cannot accomplish, there are such things as scale models.

What we're supposed to do here is evaluate ships for seaworthiness, not construct ships willy-nilly. New ships are commissioned to serve a need, not just because we can build them.
