@Fandango831 Agree with you 💯. Would love if we would pack that onto the Gibbs and Cox ICF hull.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@Fandango831 Since this whole premise is based on the Finland model, how about a USN Pohjanmaa class model.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@VirtualBayonet DDG-140. Geez that's still years away. Sure would be nice if we could find some speed and get our ships kitted out better, earlier.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@VirtualBayonet Any idea when the flight III's will start getting NGSSR straight out of the builders yards?

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@Fandango831 @JohnSmithrmj5 Do you think there could be a scenario where our navy does 2 frigates? FFX on the light side and something heavier for the indo-pacific?

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@FacelessManTwit I personally would prefer the HDF-6000 if those were the choices. Looks more like a USN frigate. The wave piercing bows are dumb.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@AlexLuck9 @japanesepatrio6 The reality is that there is no way in hell congress let's this happen..at all. This is a dead issue.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@LegasovAnalytic Cool render! Looking forward to see if you do a US Mogami. Keep in mind that our Navy doesn't use tactical length VLS. Strike length only.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@Variety What a clown.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@USAMaritimeX Exactly! Most people are missing the entire point of this part of the memo. It's about industry

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@gregtaniguchi @mercoglianos But where are they investigating in the American ship building ecosystem? I would prefer the Mogami personally. The Japanese yards are very impressive with speed of build. But Korea is the only country actively investing in our industry.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@Fandango831 You're killing it man! This close to what I think a flight II would look like, along with some ASW enhancements.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@Fandango831 An American Hobart, I dig it!

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@SECNAV This is great news. But we must get going on a frigate. Our Navy doesn't have enough smaller ships. Burke's can do everything mate.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@MarkWarner Shut up senator. Get your ass back to the hill and pass the NDAA.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@Fandango831 Another cool edit! The closest we will come to an American Mogami 😂.

[Steven Sommers @RVALFC85]

@Fandango831 @JohnSmithrmj5 I agree 💯 with you. I'm actually looking forward to what FFX becomes. Especially flight II. Thanks for doing the render.

@JamesPearceLFC Awful first half from Frimpong
