Let's hope it holds up better over time than its namesake.

Yeah, it won't. It's a floating coffin. It's a fucking littoral combat ship that has next to no ability to engage in or survive littoral combat. The other class of LCS is similarly worthless. China has better LCS ships than these two boondoggles.

Thanks for sharing. This was a treat to watch. I had never thought much about how they launch ships like this, but it's very interesting. I had always assumed they used a dry-dock of sorts...perhaps they do for the much larger ships like oil tankers.

Funny that the ship named Detroit is worth more than the city itself.

Totally expected it to sink as an insult to Detroit.

steal

The name Detroit has some context, eh?
