I was monitoring a conversation on an earlier blog post about my contention that the Absalon Class ship is the perfect replacement vessel for the LCS. Others agreed but tossed a few other contenders in the ring. One of them is the Damen Crossover you see above (website here).
Its a fine ship but I think it falls short. Why? Because I see a family of ships that are all optimized to perform specific missions instead of being multi-mission out the box like the Absalon. I stand by my contention. The Navy should get, and the Marine Corps/SOCOM/Army Aviation should all push for the Absalon as our primary independent ship operations warrior/lilly pad for multi-domain operations (the Pentagon should love that use of buzzwords...put me in coach I'm ready to play!).
