Last week, the Navy announced it had capped production of the DDG-1000 destroyer at two ships.
Much of the nation's DDG is used in livestock feed, and large volumes are exported to China.
In a taste test organized for The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Krishnan and his students served a DDG meal.
As the DDG-1000 proves, transforming a force while at war is never easy.
Further, these ships are at least 50 times stealthier than the DDG 51s.
The Zumwalt DDG with relatively minor modifications will be able to pace the BMD threat for the next four decades.
The remaining product after the ethanol is removed is DDG(dried distillers grain).

In addition to the image issue, she said the cost of processing DDG for use in food for people is a factor.
The Navy clearly must reverse course on its flawed decision to limit the Zumwalt-class DDG to three ships with no BMD capability.
Cancellation of the Zumwalt DDG-1000 program was the right move with more focus on building Arleigh Burke DDG-51 missile destroyers and improving their defensive capability.
This means the Navy will incur a huge fiscal liability with the true cost of these DDG 51 ships, effectively doubling their initial cost on paper.
Mr. Krishnan turned up the heat on his DDG research after a 2005 government mandate to blend ethanol into gasoline led to a glut of the stuff.
This can be achieved five years ahead of an Aegis BMD capability with a level of performance no DDG 51 can match now or in the future.
The ethanol industry recently produced roughly 35 million metric tons of DDG a year, though the current Midwest drought is driving up corn prices and cutting ethanol production.
We have used DDG as a feed supplement for centuries.

As an example, the secretary cites the Zumwalt DDG-1000 destroyers.
The DDG 1000 is a multimission surface ship designed to provide advanced land attack capability and contribute to military dominance in the shallow coastal waters known as the littorals.

The Zumwalt class DDG 1000 destroyers designed from the keel up to handle this and future threats, now will be limited to three ships without a ballistic missile defense capability.
The pizza dough cooked with DDG was firm and chewy, the bread had a nutty flavor but fell apart easily, and the chapati held up to the challenge of scooping stewed chickpeas.
On the other hand, the secretary failed to mention the skyrocketing cost of the 30-year-old-design Arleigh Burke DDG-51 restart program, which has been endorsed as the way to meet current and future threats.
This capability rests in the Zumwalt DDG 1000 destroyer that was designed over the last decade from the keel up to be stealthy, (thereby, enhancing survivability), and to prevail in any future war-fighting environment.
