Ambassador IV Fast Missile Craft



I first saw this on Military Photos...Get ready to be pissed off.

The Ambassador IV Fast Missile Craft is being sold to Egypt by the US and is even manufactured in Mississippi.

Additionally the program is being governed by the US Navy to fulfill basically the same function as the LCS but at a much lower cost with much greater firepower!

Not wanting to re-invent the wheel I'll simply quote Eagle Speak Blog ... "For my son's Navy I want what we sell to Egypt!"  Click here to read his analysis of this ship.

Note:  The ship has a rapid fire 76mm gun, is surface to air, surface to surface and antiship missile defense capable.
