@WinterBornActual They may have tested it in a very determined environment, but have they tested in an environment similar to where the next wars will be based....? You can run your tests in a predictable fashion all you want, but the reality is war and conflict is never predictable. In the case of this boat, how does it adept to this unpredictability and how does it manage to not only adapt, but to adapt, thrive, and even overcome such adversity....???? You are welcome to be defensive, but I could really care less. It's because of your foul technology, that we had to to decommissioned so many of the Freedom class boats built by Austal, an Australian company. Meanwhile all Independence class boats, built by Lockheed Martin,with their tri- maran hills are working perfectly well and even exceeding expectations. Why the U.S. would trust a country that doesn't even build their own ships, which are all foreign built is beyond. That money should have been given to Lockheed Martin, which has a clearly effective product of the two ship classes. It was simply a money grab given to a very incompetent, impotent corrupt nation, it was essentially thievery at the expense of the tax payers, all the while corrupting and compromising our force structure. Department of Defense should have learned their lessons from before, but here we are trying to trust a proven nonsense incompetent company from a nonsense impotent corrupt nation. I could really care how you feel, I care about the strength of my nation by compromised by nonsense nations trying to pose as our friends while compromising our defense. You are welcomed to keep your boats, perhaps that could be a means to help you work on your nonsense non existent defense industry.

Unlike Airshows that also have their open days, the Naval & Land based ones are NOT OPEN to the public. There's also magazines - printed media - that detail the basics and go in to some details.
