>>34219597
considering how everything on those boats breaks a lot, I wouldn't be so sure.

>>34219540
The plumbing on the boat dumps the sewage into the sea. So unless you want shit and piss pooling around the ship in the drydock, you're gonna need an alternative.

>>34219661
Does it not have a sewage tank?

>>34219540
That pic was from when it was being built still.

I feel sorry for that ship's future crews. It is an old superstition, that it is bad luck to name ships after the living.

Even worse, the ship's namesake is just some female politician that survived a head wound. She never did anything for the navy or was in the navy.

>>34219429
Our secret weapon against India.

>>34219730
It's an LCS, anon. The crew were completely fucked regardless of the ship's name.

>>34219730
We've made dumber decisions, like naming a ship after Winston Churchill.

>>34219429
Poo in the loo

>>34219429

Ironically nowhere near as survivable as her namesake.

>>34219429

so can i cripple it with 9mm?

>>34219792
>It's an LCS, anon
whats that? a Latrine Combat Ship?

>>34219808
Yeah he wasn't American, but he still had stuff to do with botes. Namley being Lord of the Admiralty for a little while and that whole Gallipoli thing.

Meanwhile what did that woman ever do?

>>34220543
>SHOTS FIRED !

>>34220583
Littoral, so basically yeah. Sail around poo stained waters and fire PGMs at brown people, or launch helos to fire PGMs at brown people.

They are defense mechanisms agains India's navy and air force.

>>34220585
>Lord of the Admiralty
Yeah, of not-America.

>that whole Gallipoli thing
You mean that campaign where Churchill took ships that would have otherwise been used to close off Germany's supply routes in the Baltic and end the war, and instead sent them off to Turkey to lose to the Ottoman Empire?

>>34219661
I don't know much about shipbuilding, but typically when large vessels are in port, navy or otherwise, they are hooked up to on shore septic tanks. There is a specific distance ships have to be away from land before they are allowed to dump their poo in the water.

My guess is the only reason those two shitters are there is for the convenience of those people working in that area.

>>34220674
My point was, even he, a non-American with an American made ship named after him, has done more for Naval forces than a literal who of a politician. And I never said he was good at what he did :^)

>>34219429
> USS Gabrielle Giffords
Why did they name it that? And why did they put the shitters on the outside? Dear lord, do they realize what they've done? Now the Russians will know that the ship's biggest weakness is getting shot in the head with a 9mm.

>>34219429
They call it the poop deck for a reason.

I was there at the commissioning today, it made me mad. Such a beautiful ship which I helped build is commemorated to someone who isn't deserving of it.

I didn't know until I got there that Clinton, Biden, Pelosi, and many more were there. If I didn't get mad dosh for installing the compass I'd probably be even more mad.

>>34220758
Being shot while in the service of your country is more than qualifying enough.

Were there people more qualified to have an LCS named after them? Maybe, but that's politics for you.

>>34219429
Why do you think they call it the poop-deck.

>>34220733
Politics
>Naming conventions for aircraft carriers and for other ships have changed over the years, but the current unofficial convention was adopted in 1996 with the 104th Congress. The Republican-dominated Congress demanded the Democratic President Bill Clinton name the next carrier after President Ronald Reagan. Clinton acquiesced after a compromise was reached—CVN-75 would be renamed Harry S. Truman after the thirty-third and Democratic president, instead of being called United States.

>>34220758

>to someone who isn't deserving of it.

this is 100% a move to ensure funding for it

giffords may be a cunt but she's deserving of it so long as it means funding. After all, it's just a name

Outside shitters are staying.

They were added so the ship could have a M2F and F2M transgendered head. As new genders are acknowledged in the new Navy more can be installed on an as-needed basis. In 6-8 months it will look like this

>>34220909

/pol/ pls go the gender fluidity shit is great because it means women will one day forced to use the mens heads. This helps create a stronger sense of camaraderie and allows me to jack off to something heterosexual on the job. This is a direct improvement from the present situation.

I also want all naval personnel to be forced to take birth control so I can just pay for sex rather than having to trade favors. We might as well lean all the way into this and let us enlist third world teens down to 13-14 too, naval ships are filthy places and we can always use more "custodians".

What the fuck were they thinking when they designed this hideous pile of ass. It's one of the ugliest ships in the history of ships, it's like the designers went out of their way to go down in history as the creators of the ugliest ship ever. MAYBE I could forgive it if it were somewhat functional but it sucks ass all around, it's not a good ship in any way. While I'm disgraced to have such a terrible piece of equipment in my country's military, at least it's named after a terrible person to go along with a terrible ship.

>>34228144
I agree with you but it does look like comieblock of ships.

>>34219792
This. A mission module, fucks up, or mechanical teething issues happen and ALL LCS crews are retrained hard, like punishment hard.

Navy has no real clue what they're doing with them, and doesn't have the money or time to figure it out, so I heard they're developing a frigate already to replace them, which is to say, it can do smol bote stuff and clear/lay mines.

These are the world's most expensive minesweepers really, and kinda crappy at that job.

>>34228144
It has no function that's worth investing billions in. Instead we should use that money to develop laser based air/missile defense, rail guns, drones, arsenal ships, armor, but nooooo, we spent billions making these ships that are useless in a real war and only semi-good at killing third world trash that stray too close to the coast.

>>34228144
What part of "function" prevents them from painting vehicles properly? Ugly ships like that are an embarrassment to our nation. The message it sends to the world is that we're a has-been civilization on the decline. That we no longer pay any attention to fine details.

It's the naval equivalent to getting fat and wearing pizza grease stained tshirts in public.

>>34228199

Shit needs to get replaced and new things need to be built before the next new tech comes out. If we waited for every major innovation before we outfitted new ships or equipment we would have a military that is in major disrepair and severely under-powered. There is also no guarantee that any of those systems are actually viable or a marked improvement over current designs.

>>34228228

I guess we should throw rainbows and throw glitter all over our shit from now on. I think humvees need some giant nigger rims as well to show off our street cred to the rest of the nations too then.

I'm pretty sure the army at least has the rule that you use the bathroom of whatever your paperwork says. Don't see why the navy has to use portapotties that would probably just fall overboard as soon as you exceed 8 knots.

>>34228095
Why not just a huge portapotty with weapons on it?

>>34219429
These are portapottys because they are still doing the final touches on the ship, they move it from their hanger to our dry dock a bit further down the channel and then they launch it from our dock once everything is all neat and tidy.

you cannot dump within 3 miles of any shoreline in the US. most countries have limits for how far away from the coast you have to be before dumping black water. additionally most major ports and canals don't allow black water dumping, and USN ships can't dump until they're 12 miles out.

I think it's more a question of build quality.

I'm not the guy you were talking to, bujt I've seen one of these up close and it looks 100 years old. Actually, I'd just been on a 100 year old battleship earlier in the day and it looked better than the LCS. The LCS just looks like it's about to cave in on itself.
