My image of what a U.S. Navy warship looks like is way before anything like this.
Tell ya what, I like it.
Stunning U.S. assault ship capable of speeds over 40 knots taken out to sea for final trials
The U.S. navy's stunning new assault ship has been taken out to sea for its final test trials.
The USS Independence (LCS 2) is a small transport vessel designed to undertake multiple missions, which due to its trimaran design can reach speeds of more than 40 knots (46mph).
The 419-foot vessel was built at the Austal shipyard in Mobile, Alabama, has a range of 10,000 nautical miles (19,000 km) and can also operate in water less than 20 feet deep.
