LCS 15 Christening & Launch

Watch the launch of Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 15, the future USS BILLINGS, in Marinette, Marine. The Freedom-variant LCS is a fast, agile, focused-mission platform designed for operation in near-shore environments and capable of open-ocean operation. It is designed to defeat asymmetric anti-access threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft.

Beautiful launch! But I wonder if I am the *only one* who cringes just a bit on the inside to the *VERY remote possibility* that something might go wrong...?

[@greeniend9938]

Yes, occasionally a christening can go really wrong. Perhaps the worst case was the Italian ocean liner Principessa Jolanda, which was built about the same time as the RMS Titanic. Wikipedia has an interesting explanation of what went wrong.

Greenie ND → I read the Wiki page. All I can say is, *"Oops...."*
