Ljudi, rusija je mnogo velika, to je druga prica. Smile

Radulac taj brod je bio brod za ispitivanja, i nadam se da ga nece izrezati vec da ve zavrsiti u nekom muzeju mornarice, jer, stvarno je veoma poseban.

Evo jos slika ovog trimarana tj. "Littoral Combat Ship"-a ili LTC. Naime, SAD Mornarica je raspisala konkursa za LTC i radjena su dva projekta: Lockheed Martin-ov LTC-1, koji ima klasicno jedan trup i ovaj LTC-2 od firmi General Dynamics, Aural i Bath Iron Works.

Evo nekih tekstova o LTC-2. Jos mi nije jasno da li je uradjen samo jedan ili dva LTC-2. Ovo sto vidimo na fotografijama je sve sigurno (osim prve fotke za koju pouzdano ne znam) brod koji je dobio ime "USS Indepedence". Da li je to za sada jedini LTC-2, istrazicu kasnije. Bas me zanima.

"The US Navy has announced the award of a construction contract for the Austal designed General Dynamics Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) project. The US $223 million contract for the first of two planned “Flight 0” vessels follows a similar order for the single-hulled Lockheed Martin LCS last December. The two LCS ships will be evaluated and the contracts allow for up to two of each of the two designs to be constructed prior to a decision on how many of each will be ordered, with a fleet of between 50 and 100 LCSs expected to be required over the next 30 years. The General Dynamics LCS is a far different ship to the Lockheed Martin LCS with the secret to its remarkable speed and agility being the aluminium trimaran hull. The LCSs will be the most advanced high speed military craft in the world and are intended to operate in coastal areas globally. As a key part of the US Navy fleet, they will be highly manoeuvrable and configurable to support mine detection / elimination, anti-submarine and surface warfare. The trimaran hull form permits the ship to carry a large capacity of weapons packages with space to land two helicopters."

"USS Independence (LCS-2) is the second class prototype for the Independence-class littoral combat ship. It was designed and built by General Dynamics, Aural and Bath Iron Works. It is intended as a small assault transport with a variety of capabilities depending on the mission module installed. The ship is a trimaran design capable of over 40 knots (74 km/h; 46 mph), and will normally be delivered to the US Navy at the end of 2009. This 127-meter ship requires a crew of 40 sailors and has a maximum range of 20,000 km."

"USS Independence, LCS 2, Launched! (ovo mislim da se desilo negde u aprilu 2008)
The second hull-form in the new class Littoral Combat Ship was launched a few days ago in Mobile, Alabama.
Built by Austal Shipyards under contract from General Dynamics, the three-hulled trimaran is the second ship in the overall LCS class, but the first with the unique design."
