USS Independence: A Triple Hulled, Weapon-Laden Stealth Warship
|
The US Navy and General Dynamics recently took the lid off the new USS Independence, a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). This beast will sail close to the shore and throw everything imaginable at an enemy "from armored vehicles and helicopters to shells, torpedoes and missiles. Plus, it can hustle at a rumored 60 knots.
Basically, that means the enemy will have a difficult time escaping the wrath of this mighty vessel no matter where they are. You could be sitting in a Port-a-Potty in the middle of the desert and this thing would probably drop out of the sky hurling torpedoes at your comfort station.
The best part is that it's Surprisingly Affordable! The price tag tops out at only $208 million, which is fairly frugal for the US government. That's why the Navy plans on building 55 of them in the near future. |
