Thanks for the post
These craft seem to have the capability to operate solo which they may be called to do unless the Navy musclebounds itself in policy. Excepting for armor and armamment countering localized conditions which concerns me and wake from the tri hull they may well prove a welcome addition to the arising crisises around the globe.
That includes good will and assisting in natural disasters
How foolish an argument. Something I would expect Sheila Jackson Lee to come up with.
Given the state of weapons today, Survivability is something they might as well abandon as a goal. The real key is out shooting your enemy. Hot steel on target and as much as you can throw out there.
The term force multiplier is a fraud.
The Navy fails this test as it seems weapons are merely an afterthought. Take a look at the armaments slapped on a Russian ship and take a few notes.
Bring back the battleships.
