Measure 32 looks simply awesome on the Essex class carriers.

BTW, what the heck is the LCS 2? Looks expensive, and why does it have manned AA guns???
Google Littoral Combat Ship.

It's rather cheap by naval standards, about $400 million, though there have been a lot of price overruns.

The guns on the side are likely the 25mm Bushmasters for use against small boats and frogmen.
