I wonder what the GPH is

That succker still wont catch a carrier.
we used to get about 80gal/mile @22knts

Diesel is for wussies.... real ships have reactors.....

Remember..there are Submarines....and targets.

whats it got for power?

So when is the Lip-Ship edition coming out?

If you look closely at the ship, you will notice that it has no right angles and no perpendicular surfaces. The ships mast is angled back, and cross beams are no longer square or round. This class of ship reportedly has the radar signature of a small (60-90ft) fishing boat. It also has ducted and cooled exhaust to reduce the thermal signature.

I am glad to see my tax dollors used to protect us from terrorism and provide the latest and safest equipment for our men and women in service.

Does it have steps in the hull????

very cool....probably has some large diesel and turbine motor combos, similar to the coast guards largest ice breakers.

I've been told carriers can do 50+knots......
