LOTS of noise in the Piney Point 'hood a few minutes ago

[Gilligan]

There's never a chance one of our LCACs is going to sneak up on anyone. Whole herd of 'em just went by, headed up river towards DC.

Love that noise!

By the time the LCACs are inbound, you should already be aware that your day is gonna get a whole lot worse........

That's right. Nothing but big fast containers full of whupass.

Up_river? So they are going to invade DC!

Lcac?

Landing Craft Air Cushioned??

Yep.

Rode one out to meet an LHA off the Carolina coast... Yep, incredibly loud and a fuel hog!

I know LCAC = Licensed Conceal and Carry, but what's LHA?

Light Hand Artillery.

Landing Helicopter Assault, but realized it was actually an LHD- Multiple Purpose Amphibious Assault Ships...

Spent many long hours in the P&E module on miserable hot gulf coast days back in the 80s....recording craft acceptance trials data as they came off the assembly "line"..

But still proud of how amazing they are.

Wait 'til the new ones are out. I've had chance to peek under the covers on the new design a good bit.

Good on Ya! They're quite a feat of engineering.

I remember hearing of a new design, assuming the main changes are centered around the crafts propulsion system?

Propulsion and lift both. Some incredibly advanced and complicated composite structures instead of what is all aluminum and stainless steel on the current craft.
