LCS 1 & 2 on exercise.

A couple of things...

I'm surprised at how much larger the LCS 2 appears in relation to the LCS 1.  That flight deck on the LCS 2 should come in handy.

I'm a little shocked at how old and tired these ships look.  Here's a close up of the LCS 2....

I wonder what they're going to look like after a deployment or two.

NOTE:
If this is the new Navy standard when it comes to ship appearance then we desperately need to establish motherships and keep these bad boys off shore.  Can you imagine pulling into hyper clean, hyper sparkling Singapore in a ship that looks like a garbage barge?  Embarrassing!
