Here's a Look at The U.S. Navy's New Pirate Catchers.

The angular lines located throughout the entire design of the ship are not just for aero-dynamics --they actually serve to deflect radar waves up and away from the original source. This gives the ship a very small radar cross-section much like the Air force F-117 Stealth bomber making it a "radar stealthy" pirate catcher.

That’s cool!

obummer will DC it as soon as his minions make him aware. Would not want to harm his mudslime brethren.

[Hotlanta Mike]

speedy and loaded for bear...

[rlmorel]

Interesting vessel...kind of grows on you.

[rlmorel]

I wonder how fast she was going when she executed that turn to port...

[andyk]

Wow, that ship is awesome!

[blackdog]

Without permission to fire, a john boat and a squirrel rifle would be more menacing to Somali pirates.

"This tri-maran is the first of a new fire breathing breed, ready to scoot out of dry dock at a rumored 60 knots.."

Holy $%^&*()!

[stboz]

Just a silly, simple question......do pirates have radar? Just got to ask.

[Mr. K]

I want one

[Tainan]

...needs cup-holders.

That looks like one seriously fun pirate chaser.

[Tahoe3002]

No boat yet built out runs naval or aerial gunfire. SINK their damn boats every time they venture into international waters. Every damn time.

Save the tax dollars for something else.

[raybbr]

Looks cool on smooth seas. Wonder how she handles in twenty foot seas???

[True Republican Patriot]

Gosh! Now its secrecy is blown!! OBAMA will scrub it immediately as a Threat to MUSLIMS Everywhere! We can’t infringe on the Muslim Terrorist Pirates Rights to Destroy Us!! Heaven Forbid!! Obama only understands one phrase! That is “ALLAH AHBAR!!”

But it sure is One Beautiful Warship!!

[GeronL]

That looks familiar. I think that class was part of the “brown water” navy idea, for action in “littoral waters”. SO now, to sell it, they want to rebrand it as a pirate chaser?

[piytar]

Yes, commercial grade on ships they’ve stolen, esp their “motherships.”

[Delta 21]

What exactly pops up out of the square spot just behind the turret gun?

[Frantzie]

Lots of money and no one has the guts to give the order to SHOOT the somali pirates. See Portland, OR and the cancer of somalis.

[the invisib1e hand]

looks like a pteranadon.() or something.

All we need now is a Commander in Chief worthy of it.
