Tanker - Builder
With all the problems , Another Littoral Combat Ship

Contract calls for whatever quantity of them we have ordered.

Unlike the Zumwalts, where we have canceled 80% of the order before even launching the first.

Yea I dont care for them either, I posted the link just because I thought the launching prosses was cool.

Just think..... how many things could go wrong with thousands of tons of steel hitting the water all at once!

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Thank you for sharing the link, I'm not a big fan of these Littorals...I wish the Navy would procure a proper Frigate to replace the FFG-7's.
