Multi-Mission Combat Ship – Sursa: Lockheed Martin
Sau mostenirea LCS e sub asediu.
La inceput totul era simplu, Lockheed Martin planuia sa ofere o intreaga familie de nave, de dimensiunea unor corvete si fregate bazate pe proiectul LCS Freedom, o nava de 115 de metri lungime si deplasament de 3.500 de tone.
Cam asa era descrisa familia MCS (Multi-mission Combat Ship) in 2014: “As a fast, highly-maneuverable, shallow draft vessel that can execute missions in the open seas and coastal waters, the MCS provides a hull structure that suits many partner navy requirements. Current interest in the hull lengths range from 90 meters to 118 meters and displacement ranges from 1,600 tons to 3,600 tons. The ship’s hull form is proven from 67 meters to 150 meters at various displacements.”
De atunci a avut loc o schimbare foarte subtila, aproape imperceptibila: “Built on Lockheed Martin’s expertise with the US Navy’s littoral shipbuilding program, MCS is a next generation surface combatant that delivers maximum firepower tailored to partner navies’ requirements. There is current interest in hull lengths from 85 meters to 118 meters; the hull is proved from 67 meters to 150 meters at various displacements.”
