Sweet. This is like a seawolf class. Barely anyone talks about only few know where it is at all times but when these ships fight. Someone is going to die but won't be them.

I'm upset that no shells will be made for the two gun mounts

[@stephen7701]

I have no idea 🤷‍♂️ why the navy is removing one gun to put 4 missiles and not both guns. When the other gun is useless and the space can be useful for tommhawk missles or SM-3 or SM -6 missiles or a combination of both

I'm sure they have given the matter considerable thought. They don't have to explain it to the general public.

[@donaldgrant9067]

Well that should only take 10 years and 200 billion in over costs.

I thought these ships were being scrapped. Clearly they are being retained for more experimental ship systems

not being scrapped but refit with hypersonic weapons

[@donaldgrant9067]

@@williamfranz8313 I heard that too. They were being scrapped for the new Frigates that are coming out. Just what I heard.

She is actually a missile boat. Pity about the guns, though.

@@donaldgrant9067 You are thinking of the LCS> Zumwalt is an entirely different class and type of vessel.

[@donaldgrant9067]

@@MillionFoul Yes I heard that also about the LCS which can't really do any of it missions, but I also heard it about the Zumwalt class. Too expensive maintain and a lot of trouble with the experimental equipment on board. Just what I heard.
