Nice to see it fully armed with with the 8 Naval Strike Missiles, two 30 mm guns and SeaRam. Hopefully the taxpayers can get a return on investment with the Indy class LSCs.

These were supposed to deploy to the Persian Gulf. Instead they are doing law enforcement in the Southern Command area of responsibility. I guess that frees USCG NSCs to to deploy to more forward areas.

Due to their clandestine nature, few know how the U.S. Navy SEALs (Sea, Air, and Land) became the widely known and feared warriors they are today. This famous cadre grew from humble beginnings on the beaches of Fort Pierce, Florida, to warriors tasked with some of the most high-risk missions known in history. Although not officially designated until 1962, from the beaches of Normandy to the jungles of Vietnam, SEALs have had a direct impact on history. Their quick study of unconventional warfare and guerilla tactics helped them become experts in 20th century combat.
