Looks good, I wonder how long the ‘Special Extended Edition’ will be? 🙂

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I found some Royal Navy videos if anyone is interested http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=46229

Isn’t it a concept demonstrator for the LCS program? http://science.howstuffworks.com/sea-fighter.htm

So who has the best mine hunter out there? Should they have secondary roles? Should these ships have a big gun or small guns as is more the case these days?

Another question that needs asking is whether dedicated Mine warfare ships will be needed in the future or will remote control and automated systems enable normal warships to carry out the task?

I think vessels like the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) need to replace dedicated mine hunters. They should be low cost flexible ships armed with a 57mm – 76mm gun as standard and have containerized mission equipment fitted as needed. It would operate robotic submarines, boats and aircraft.
