Man I could sit here and chat ship systems and navy logic all day with you but I'm not sure the rest of the people on here would find it as entertaining as I just did reading that. A while back me and you had a discussion about those new litoral combat ships the freedom and the independence classes, I believe someone was building a model of one and I called them a huge government piece of trash, you asked me why and at the time I could only list a few reasons but if your interested I can now provide tons of resources on how they were tragically horrible ships along with Dumwalt sorry Zumwalt destroyers (not to degrade the honor of the ships namesake).
The only modernized ships that have been somewhat successful has been the Same Antonio class LPDs and the most recent versions of the LHA which isn't finished yet since they put the well deck back into the design
