+allenjb42 4,178 Posted September 21, 2009 I like the sports area at the stern for shipboard recreational activities during the cruise. Good for tennis, basketball or five-a-side football (soccer to you yanks), but they need some nets! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUICIDAL 401 Posted September 21, 2009 We can play a little game there. allenjb42, I'm messi and you Beckham. And enjoy it. Although I do not understand who say the ship's garbage. It fulfills the purpose for which it was built? Marcos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Jug 99 Posted September 24, 2009 Some pics of the USS Independence (LCS-2) LCS= Littoral combat ship Enjoy Does anyone know what the mission tasking is for this beauty? I would withhold judgement on the looks of a modern ship until we see how she fights. The Thud wasn't pretty, but, as I recall, she fought well...........

TX3RN0BILL 3 Posted September 29, 2009 It's unconventional and therefore I like it - although the "90's cheesy slab-stealth look" would definitely look meaner if it were painted black... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,876 Posted September 29, 2009 Looks mean and menacing - shame its only literally a combat ship....oh sorry a littoral combat ship....whatever :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted September 29, 2009 Does anyone know what the mission tasking is for this beauty? I would withhold judgement on the looks of a modern ship until we see how she fights. The Thud wasn't pretty, but, as I recall, she fought well........... basically its just a new name for a Frigate or Corvette operating in close to the shoreline. I suspect that its a way over-priced, gold-plated high tech replacement for what we really need; a simple basic FFG hull that can fielded with various mission specific modules. Kind of like the FFG-7 class........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
