What's 418 feet long and moves at 52 mph across the water?

Every once in a while I run across a feat in modern technology that amazes me. I had to share this one. It seems the U.S. Navy has a new toy and if you're a pirate trying hijack a ship, you might want to think twice.

One of two new designs vying to be selected for production.

Oh and here was I thinking you were talking about the Loch Ness Monster! Sorry I'm a brit/scot. This looks like one of the stealth bombers but on water!

Corinne,

Nessy just might, if anyone could catch a glimpse long enough.

I love it, almost makes me hope the pirates try something so we can go get them with this guy!

Pretty impresive. It just boggles my mind that they're coming in a $200 million a piece, and they've capped the budget at $460 Mil a piece. Somehow I think the defense contractor will find a way to raise the price another $260 Million! WE are in the wrong business.

Very cool. I'm glad they're doing something like this. But, 50 mph on water, really isn't that fast. I guess they think that's all they need to catch the bad guys.
