       @Griffith my charitable interpretation is the navy may be trying to skirt around the usual procurement circus that takes 20 years to accomplish anythingsmall cheap ships based on an existing design, no extra personnel, etc

       @deprecated_ii You’re not wrong. I remember the Constellation class (existing design) and the Zumwalt (automation to reduce the crew).US is 0 for 3 on new ship classes, let’s see how this plays out.

       >The U.S. Navy just unleashed... LOL. The Navy hasn't unleashed a damn thing. A Boston start-up made a sales pitch. Construction is projected to start in March. Wait, it *IS* March, I haven't seen anything that confirms they've actually started building them, cost overruns and setbacks are sure to follow.>Expect 10-20 of these autonomous haulers every year.So if counting chickens before they hatch works, this fleet can move a whopping 80 containers at a time. 80. Take that Chyna!!!

       @MCMLXVIIOTG yeah it is a lot of ship to not carry very much. maybe if the containers weren't way up high the ship could carry more

       @deprecated_ii @MCMLXVIIOTG Why are they attempting to make a "stealth" cargo ship?

       @wgiwf @MCMLXVIIOTG I think that's just artistic license based on how the LCS crap looked
