CRYING IN MY SKIN

but arent tug boats supposed to bump into other ships sometimes to help guide them?

>>31591534
Yes. LCSs are shit.

>>31591534

maybe time to build a stronger boat

Sounds like superficial damage.

HSV-2 survived the missile. It was damaged, but it did not sink.

It will be scrapped. It's literally hollow now.

And of course it didnt sink. Catamarans usually are hard to sink.

Probably, but it didn't sink.

Do these people think aluminium is not going to be fragile and easily melted every time they make a new thing that needs to be sturdy and inflammable?

If your CEO gets a salary, you are small time. Big CEOs are paid in equity, because equity rewards performance intrinsically and isn't taxed until you cash it out without reinvesting.

>>31591617
The fact that a supposed combat vessel has been damaged from any contact of any sort with a fucking tugboat is a red flag

>>31593618
>survived

What is your definition of "survived"?

>>31593618
That thing is fucking gutted top to bottom

Nagato '''survived''' a nuke but never sailed again

>>31598753
The fact that you think a warship is not supposed to be damaged in a collision with another vessel says a lot.

>yfw Russian tugs are attacking the US navy when they're not towing carriers

No other ship class has fucked up this many times so early in its life.

>>31598811
It's a 1000 ton civilian ferry that was hit by a mid sized AShM, had no damage control attempted and burned fiercely for hours.

The fact that it is still floating days later is impressive.

>>31598915
>It's impressive that a cast catamaran hull still floats
>Literally nothing else is left of it
Ok champ

>>31598961
>Literally nothing else is left of it

The fact that the hull is structurally intact after all that pretty much negates any criticism of it being made of aluminum.

>>31599020
It is a cast piece of fucking metal. It serves no purpose other than to protect the important stuff - systems, people and cargo. It did a pretty garbage job considering its the only thing left floating.

What the fuck do you think they're going to do with this amazing husk of a ship? Give it a new coat of paint and send it back out? It is thoroughly and utterly destroyed. It's only course now is to be towed and broken up.

to be fair the only purpose the hull had was to make it float. I agree it got rekt but stop shitposting please.

Didn't the Brits actually lose a ship during the Falklands because the aluminum hull caught fire after taking an exocet?

>>31598666

I got blackout drunk one day after watching that episode and according to the police I was in the street alternating between singing it at the top of my lungs and puking them up for a good hour or so, and of course because this was opposite a mosque at happy hour I offended a bunch of muslims.

The LCS exists to fight terrorists and pirates in coastal waters and act as a very, very fast missile corvette.
I also think I read somewhere that it could also mount that new laser cannon to destroy incoming missiles.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Independence_(LCS-2)

So many people would prefer to see cold war tech continue to be used until it just corroded into dust. New tech always needs time to work out the kinks, and it costs money.

BTW the US will NEVER be fighting the Russians or Chinese in a meaningful way.
So just go back to whining about the A-10.

This is mostly true. We might fight China eventually but most likely not.
Whereas Russia has blatantly stated things like "if the US goes into a civil war we will come fight on the side of the people and help reinstill democracy." We are never going to fight Russia unless Hillary gets elected. In fact Russia is preparing their people for nuclear war in case Hillary gets elected.

>>31591617
>crashing into them.

True, but in a collision between a modern combat naval vessel and a putt-putt-putt harbor tug, i would expect the tug to come out on the losing end.

>>31591865
This. Also, kek of the week!

>>31603751
I don't deny that it's super cool, but it's kind of a joke how expensive it is for something that's essentially unarmed and unarmored.

That said, the Coast Guard might want it. I'm not sure if it can fully serve the same role as the Legend-class cutters, but it seems fairly comparable on paper, and is somehow cheaper to build even considering the massive cost overruns.

Tugboats aren't small, they're fairly large and also have a lot of momentum and power behind them. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to guide ships.

There's no reason a Litttoral Combat Ship be unarmored and made it with alluminium.
