The old LST troop and amphib equipment haulers {Tank Landers} did much less than that somewhere like 14 knots and they served us through Nam.

That 14 knots in the 1156 class T’s was downhill, with following sea in a typhoon....that is if you could keep all ‘4 feet’ on the ground at the same time....

Jeff Head - I believe the UNS is supposed a quip in reference to United Nations Ship ????

Just a guess.... and yes, I am familiar with the USNS meaning etc...stack stripes and all....<: <:

Then “UNS” ain’t gonna happen. Not while I have breath anyway.

Could you imagine that? The UN trying to run our Navy? Waht a pitiful joke that would be.

Don’t get me wrong, I know there are pols and progresives like Obama and others who may want to try to push things that way...but it is just not going to happen IMHO. But IMHO, you’d have massive rebellion in the ranks and COs and Admirals refusing it.
