Kind of sexy, isn't it. Maybe I just have a thing for grey paint. Cant wait to get a look at the GD one.

Looks like they've somehow managed to reinvent the corvette...and called it an "LCS".

Look at the bright side, given where she was built, at least it wasn't painted green and gold with a giant cheesehead on top of the mast.

Is that thing available for Wedding receptions or Graduation parties?

And the modern Navy says it no longer needs the OLD big guns huh?...LMAO

With those high sides it's going to be a b*tch getting the sea-doos on and off...

**Dreadnought** · 25 Sep 06,, 18:46

Hitting the water.....

**Dreadnought** · 25 Sep 06,, 18:48

SOMEBODY PAINT THAT POOR THING HAZE GREY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

Not bad looking, but Ruskie ships have a more sharply angled bow, which I like. (is that called "rake"?) Maybe looks isn't important though.
I can't help but also wonder how successful the GD design will be. The multi-hull idea seems problematic with internal space, but I admit I am an amature at guessing such things.
