I think it looks cool.
>>65444460Meh. Hovercraft are cooler.
>>65444460looks like a freight container mover in port or some shit
>>65444629It's a landing vehicle for the marine corps. They'll use it to make landings on beaches under enemy fire. That's why it looks so tough and sturdy.
I like the colort. green enjoyer
>>65444460How come they never have any provision for covering the embarkation deck? Besides the fact that it is a near necessity for a contested landing even before drones it would greatly increase the sea state they can operate in.
>>65444643Useless boat in the drone age then
>>65444643>#1 Air and Naval superiority nation>Even considering contested beach landings
>>65445137At some point there will be another major war where Americans will tolerate boots on the ground and capturing territory, as opposed to just hurling explosives and calling it a day
>>65445153He's saying that the landings would be uncontested, not that landings wouldn't take place.
>>65444460>the Marines’ stated plan is to use the two ASCs to help with the development of its still-evolving expeditionary and distributed concepts of operationsIt's an experimental prototype, in other wordsMan they should use an X designator for the hull number prefix
>>65444643It looks like a low cost sheet metal MIC job. I wouldn't trust it in a one foot swell.
>>65445622You've never been in, let alone operated a boat so your opinion doesn't actually matter
>>65445136wrong
>>65444643They haven't decided on one yet. I believe they will favour the Stern Landing Vessel.
>>65446298
>>65444643This ain't 1944 anymore, Jarhead. In this day and age, if you can sail a boat like this to an enemy's shore, then the battle is already over and you might as well use a proper cargo ship. No need to larp like it's D-Day.
>>65446325The ASC is not for storming contested beaches. Its a supply bote, for moving shit around in the mid-points of the logistics chain. They also have the LSM (inter-island) and ASC (last-mile) platforms. holy shit, instead of making assertions and claims why not literally spend 30 seconds googling what the fuck it is you're talking about you absolute fucking boomer.
>>65446298She takes it from behind.
>>65445136Find me drone I can rape, then it'll be the drone age.
I wish I was an absolute boomer. Then I would have all the power, money, rentals, guns, milsurp, classic cars, boat, hookers and mistresses that I don't have now.
>>65446342You're spiritually a boomer.
>>65446333
>>65446345Awesome, so where's muh bitches n shit?
>>65446349>no bitches, by admission.Your Honor, the Prosecution rests.
>>65446349You're divorced three times.
>>65446360I've finally got a house, and the area is infested with boomers. Like 60% of my street is boomers rattling around in big empty houses. Something that fascinates me about them, like genuinely has me studying them like fucking Jane Goodall with the chimps, is how their social/familial lives are complete disasters. All of them: divorced >2 times, rotating through various boomer girlfriends. I cant even begin to comprehend it.
>>65446375That's easy to explain. They grew up with monogamous relationships as the norm and then no fault divorce suddenly became a thing. They continue to seek the kind of marriages their own parents had in a world where it's nearly impossible to achieve.
here is where it will be landing.Yeah, that is the shoreline.I suggest they keep up on the calf stretches. I fucked mine up because I like to get drunk and hike up a steep hill with heavy pack.

>>65446707That's not Karg, silly twitter zoomer bitch
>>65447026To be fair to her, Iran really really really wants a land invasion. They went all in on the bouncing red arrows and fpv drones meme. Getting choked out slowly while incapable of fighting back is bad enough, but to have a massive case of blue balls at the same time? Almost makes me feel bad for them.
>>65447039It's pretty hilarious that they think that the US will choose the least viable invasion route through the Zagros mountains if they actually choose to do so anyway.
>>65446325a boat is a 1000 times more survivable than a helicopter
>>65447097Unless it's made of Chinesium, then I'll take the helicopter.
>>65447089They'll never expect it!
>>65446707>Persian girlWhat happened to Syrian Girl anyway
>>65447390same thing that happened to Hanoi Hannah; mission accomplished, the persona has been deactivated
>>65447390still around giving various wars related updates on Alex Jones, Infostormer etc shows.
>>65444460Why is it in best koreas colors and why is it flying the flag of ISIS?Incredibly aesthetic though.
>>65448459I thought Alex Jones died? Popped like a balloon after eating one too many Whataburgers.
>>65448459>flying the flag of ISIS>red, white, and blueCome on, sure both are terrorist state but at least ISIS doesn't let gays people thrive.
>>65446375having an empty house is the craziest existence to me. i cant think of anything more depressing. higher maintenance with no benefit other than space for junk accumulation.its one of the results in life you want to avoid the most.
>>65446298holy shit they still haven't made up their minds on this? i thought they settled for the spearhead classthey've been going at it for 10 years or more by now, this looks like it's going to be another doomed project that will deliver one hull after 20 years and then get scrapped
It's just a mockup, but jungle camo on a boat?
>>65445136it looks like a civilian ship. The Chinese radars are going to be looking for corvettes and burkes, these could be a civilian fishing boat. You hit the wrong civilian fishing boat, and suddenly the Malaysians abandon their neutrality and block off your shipping routes.
>>65446298This is what Australia will be using, the USA bought plans for the LST-100, and these can be made in any shipping yard. We can build 20 of them in a year if we really needed to, and we just might.
>>65457941Where do you think it spend most of its time, anon? Near Point Luck at Midway, or running around in some archipelago full of jungle?
>>65458003Good point. I didn't think about mangroves and shit like that. Strange to think about a boat blending in in the dense jungle.
>>65458180>Strange to think about a boat blending in in the dense jungle.I think it was the Dutch who made a destroyer look like an island back when they pulled out if DEI during the war, snuck right past the japs
>>65444460It looks like shit but function over form is the point of military hardware.
>>65458627That explains the Apache and Warthog.You don't need to be pretty to kill some fool.
>>65446707>>65447390>Persian Girl>Syria GirlWhats with these trad countries needing women to stand up for them?
