The brilliance of the modern-day war mongers.


It boggles the mind.. It really does.
Austal, a western Australian ship builder, has just won a massive contract with the United States Navy, worth $300 million.
The ship builder will be creating the Austal-designed Litoral Combat Ship (LCS) for the US navy and it's partner, and will be receiving half of the value of the contract to do so. That's a *lot* of money.

Now, I'm no caimbridge engineering scholar, but purely from a design point-of-view, does no one see the problem inherrent in painting a $300m warship with jungle camouflage? ...

Hahaha!
I was reading it just thinking
"He better mention the fact it's got freakin jungle camo!!"

It'd work pretty well on the Yarra though...

And congrats on using a proper ellipse for once!!! :oP
