Impossible Engineering
US Navy's Super Ship
This episode looks at the US Navy's new class of warship: the Littoral Combat Ship. These masterpieces of marine engineering have been designed to not only operate in deep ocean waters but are capable of providing access and dominance in shallower coastal (littoral) waters. The Independence Class LCS is the latest in the fleet. Using a cutting-edge trimaran design and built entirely from lightweight aluminium, this modern mega ship has changed the face of open water operations.
