USS Freedom LCS1 Launching

This is my video of the LCS1 USS Freedom launching. As you can see, I was standing on the shipyard side. I managed to get the voice and the christening itself. Really proud of this.

EDIT: http://www.ussfreedom.org
The comissioning ceremony for the Freedom is slated for November 8th at 10 AM at Veterans Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Shame they don't build those WW2 style massive battleships anymore, those things had balls!

Well, there's no real use for those juggernauts any more. With the advances in aircraft and missile systems, large ship-to-ship engagements have gone to the wayside, just like Napoleonic-style warfare.

In case you haven't heard, Marinette Marine got the contract to build a second ship like this one, USS Fort Worth (LCS-3). It should be the same, save for a few minor internal changes.

No, unfortunately I missed that little announcement. Thank you for the notification.

All the people from other countries bash America and shout how they hate us and our country and yet in the time of catastrophe in their own country by storm devastation or other unforeseen tragedies who do they shout to first for help? The same country they are bashing. And if America does come to aid them fast enough they bitch about that too. This isnt an opinion its historical facts.
