Lockheed Martins LCS solution is proven, with USS Freedom (LCS 1) being delivered to the U.S. Navy in 2008 and being deployed two years early. She has sailed more than 8,000 nm, successfully completed sea trials, helicopter certifications, weapons firings and certifications, small boat launch and recovery and Surface Warfare mission-package testing.

  • @elwhit95 .50 SLAP will do it easily. Sent you an article link on it. The bridge windows are not bulletproof. RPG-7 would be an effective weapon against this ship, and Somalis do have them.

  • @Ilicium While my friend is not a naval engineer, he loves ships and is a mechinical engineer. I would say you are correct in the shallows there are other threats to deal with. I would say since I own a barrett model 99 in 50bmg bases on the angles of the ship most 50bmg rounds would be deflected rather than enter the boat based on some to the things we have talked about. I do know what you mean too

  • @elwhit95 Yeah, but being in coastal waters only makes it more vulnerable in some ways. At sea, the radar has a much greater chance of detecting a threat. I bet I could disable that boat with a .50 M2.

  • @esiosan No, armor, thin hull, aluminum construction. Stark took two and barely survived. Apparently, no lessons were learned.

  • @Ilicium The ship is designed for costal protection I hope that its never in the line of fire from a Exocet.

  • @Ilicium it will because of watertight integrity & compartmentalization

  • Yeah. So, will it float after taking two Exocet hits? How about a mine? It sure does look cool, though.

  • made in my home town yeah buddy
