Far cry from the old cans I spent the majority of my career in ! Oh to be young again. I probably wouldn't be smart enough to get in though, I'm an analog man in a digital world.
Of all the people, the actual hero’s we could of named this beautiful vessel after and we chose Gifford? Come on, someone bent the SECNAVs arm behind his back and made him do this. It makes no sense at all out of all the American hero’s who have given their all the last two decades... how unreal
Craig Ward Precisely! Why not Christopher Kyle, Michael Murphy, Michael Monsoor, Michael Thornton, Tyrone Woods and William “Bill” Dawson? They’re all former SEALS (to name a few) who are far more deserving of a vessel representing their namesake. Even my Uncle Tom (also a former SEAL and Team Leader) who was also stationed in Vietnam during the early Sixties (1960-64) before the US even joined the action. He continued to serve after that time period after the US involvement but there are very little records to show for it. Typical SOP with SOF units. I always told him that he deserves to have a ship named after him. Sadly, Parkinson’s claimed his back in 2016 but I still think he deserves the posthumous honor. Keep up the good work my friend.
@@DJErikD1969 That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing. It's never a dull day if you learn something new. The Navy has such a large inventory of ships and many more in the works. I'm always interested in the future naming of vessels. Stay classy my friend.
I imagine you will be aware that those ships (the LCS) are worse than a simple frigate? This ship should not exist... are a wast of money... and you know it...
She is a beautiful vessel 💓

John McNaught analog rules. Digital sucks.
There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those that don't.
Awesome! I ship for Boot Camp Nov. 19! PACT SEAMAN! GO NAVY ⚓🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸⚓🇺🇸
Will Roderick hope you enjoy it, as I did.
Badass!!!...🤙😎🤘
Bravo Zulu!
That's my ship 😓
Groovy.
I think the first missile just dropped into the water
Were gonna need these soon. North korea just launched 2 more missiles at Japan.
But where's the video of the impact?
Somewhere in Arizona.
it really needs VLS cells more then anything.
Let us see the impact of the NSM!
When will we have the first LCS SINKEX with a pair of shotguns?
I'd just make a stealth hydrofoil destroyer with multiple control planes

@@BertShackleford DDG 1001 is named after Monsoor and DDG 112 is named after Murphy.

English teachers also are hero(')s. Did you take a round to the head and live to tell the tale? Unreal indeed.
She was shot in the head by a deranged moron and lived. Coming back from a brain injury is bravery personified.
one emp and u better have some muskets on board.
They’re designed so emp’s aren’t effective
U need to use a nuke to create a significant EMP event. If someone uses a nuke they're going to wish they hadn't
@@TwinkyTacos So all the tech is running on coal? lol
@Keen R facepalm
Oh look, an armchair general who goes right to "bUT wHaT aBOut EMPs oR nUkes". Don't act like you know shit about actual warfare.
Way to thin skinned to take a hit an many issue thank God Navy cancelled the order
Thank you President Trump for the extra Military Funding for this beautiful vessel

Hit anything? Hopefully you're checking for targeting accuracy and not just test firing at today's prices. That wasn't a musket ball.
Pleeeease
Nope!
