Part of the Navy's littoral ship project. Still a developmental program.

Great Design you can line up about 24 Seal snipers on the back of that and lob the heads off two dozens pirates at a time...

I think that's the second one- built by General Dynamics. I thought it had turbines driving water jets. Plus a pair of diesels for slow-speed cruise.
