Anybody seen this Bad Boy ?
Permalink  

A friend in Florida sent me this today. Apparently this thing can do 60 in high seas.

"U.S.S. Independence (LCS-2)

A Triple Hulled, Weapon-Laden Monster.

U.S. Navy's triple-hulled ship,launched last month, Built by General Dynamics, it's called a "littoral combat ship" (LCS),and the tri-maran can move huge weapons
around faster than any ship in the Navy. Ironic that with all that high tech built in it looks like the Merrimac ironclad from CivilWar days.

Littoral means close to shore, and that's where these fleet-hulled
babies will operate, tailor-made for launching helicopters and armored
vehicles, sweeping mines and firing all manner of torpedoes,
missiles and machine guns."

Posting the Civil War Ironclad Merremac referred to in my initial post just so you get an idea of what he's talking about.

Too fast for trolling, no kicker motor and you would probably need to tow an Oil Tank to slow it down. Looks like something from a Jame's Blond movie.

Ray, Do you remember the HMCS Bras D'or? Canadian warship that was the fastest in the world, 63 knots.
