Britain's project cancellations and failures are pretty widely known, but thinking back from the end of the Cold War to quite recently the US has had a litany of serious project cancellations, or others that saw production but had them cut short for various reasons.
For the Army I'm thinking the RAH66 helicopter, the M8 AGS, the Crusader SP howitzer. The Navy the A12 attack aircraft, Seawolf subs (3 built), Zumwalt destroyers (3 built), every attempt at a long range gun/guided shell. For the Marines the various advanced AAAT7 replacements. For the USAF the F22 cut short at 173 built, B2 cut short at 21 built.
I'm sure there are others I don't know about.
Which of these projects are most likely to be successful, which should have been aborted or replaced with something else early on, which should have never have started in the first place?
