They are fast.
They are sleek.
They are futuristic.
They are stealthy.
They are unarmored.
They won't survive combat.

Combat with who? I suspect these will be used for piracy suppression, and I suspect they will do well at it.

I do not expect that these vessels will be taking on anyone's destroyers, cruisers, or aircraft carriers. Nor do I expect that the pirates that this ship will be hounding and harassing to have an air combat component.

They cant be seen with Radar....so one guy with a pair of Binocs can spot and direct fire.
Sometimes just because it has the toys don’t mean all the toys are worth it.

Is anybody really building naval vessels that can sustain a beating and keep fighting? I thought that was the argument for keeping the battleships on and that argument lost with Clinton’s Admiralty.
