That’s a good looking ship. As a proud alum of the University of San Diego, I’m very pleased that the Navy has done this.

All of the San Antonio (LPD-17) class are deficient in armament. This amphibious assault ship is 684’ long, 105’ in beam, draws 23’ of water, and weighs 25,000 tons.

What does USS SAN DIEGO (LPD-22) have for self-defense? The 16-cell Mk 41 Vertical Launch System is NOT fitted; there are two Mk 46 Mod 1 (30x173 NATO) Bushmaster II guns (range 2,200 yards); two .50 (12.7x99 NATO) machine guns (range 2,000 yards); two Mk 49 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) launchers with 21 shots each (range 8 miles); two Mk 36 SRBOC, 12 barrels each, (Super Rapid Blooming Off-board Chaff and flares). That's all folks. You have a billion dollar, Haze Gray target.
