DAMN! Id like to both Independence and Alvin. Alvin , because it is history and a marvel of engineering, Independence, because hopefully they'll kill the overpriced ferry (LCS2) and gas-guzzler (LCS1) and find a far more suitable and less expensive alternative to the LCS program. What a Charlie-Foxtrot that will only get sailors killed.

I will state of the two LCS candidates, I prefer LCS-2 - not that the Navy is asking or nothin'
