Obama signed a contract for 12 of these things I am an employee for BEA systems. These boats are all aluminum which cannot stand the shock of the waves so they spin a month out in water and six months back at dock getting fixed they are complete and total trash.
The U.S got to much money
Thank you to all our sailors who get the job done, helping secure freedom, with equipment as unpredictable as the whole Navy is.
Freedom untill need to repair
Overly complicated and ambitious design with a transmission that keeps breaking down ? 1940s Krupp called, they want their engineers back.
Your tax dollars at work.
Must have used German panzer engineering from WWII.
It's those damn gearboxes again.
Don't decommission them.
Add masts and sails to achieve the same speeds of 6 to 10 knots.
Only 10 knots? WOWWWW
The Chrysler of the Seas! Hope that ship has AAA
