At Speed
Some fantastic footage of the new LCS out on speed trials with a bone in her teeth. This is exciting for a number of reasons. First, it is the Navy's first new surface combatant class in almost 17 years, since Arleigh Burke was commissioned. More importantly, Jane is up in Wisconsin playing a big part in the sea trials, and she did some important design work on the project. It is a great achievement for her, and I could not be more pleased.
Since our company is working on the competing design for LCS 2 Independence, I'm looking forward to when she gets in the water sometime in the next year. She will be a much more futuristic looking boat, if nothing else:

We did maneuvering stuff on Friday and it was pretty awesome. Reached our highest speed all week and then pulled into some turns. Zigzags, spirals, and donuts...
I hope some videos from that get released. I only got to see like 2 of the turns... was helping monitor stuff the rest of the time.
