  • Meet the US Navy’s NEW Fastest Transport Ship to Move Tanks, Weapons and Troops.
    The U.S. Navy will soon deploy another super high-speed vessel able to transport 600 tons of troops, weapons, equipment, ammo and even a small fleet of seventy-ton Abrams tanks to war. This transport will change the scope and nature of coordinated amphibious attack.
    The service’s 12th Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) ship, the USNS Newport, recently completed what’s called Integrated Sea Trials, an assessment and demonstration exercise intended to prepare the ship for full-scale operations by conducting maneuvers, transport missions and some reconnaissance operations. By traveling at fast-speeds of thirty-five knots and over distances as far as 1,200 miles, the new ships bring new dimensions to the Navy’s increasingly expeditionary warfare strategy.
    While classified as “non-combatant” ships, the EPF ships are not themselves armed with weapons but engineered for fast humanitarian transport, disaster relief and other high-speed missions. However, make no mistake, the ships are planned for major combat operations as well, as they can “roll-on/roll-off” armored vehicles, large numbers of armed soldiers or marines and, if needed, a group of drones.

    Not sure how old this is ?
    The Australian built, InCat HSV-2 Wave Piercing Catamarain from Tasmania was also being tested by the US Army/Navy.
    Capable of 51 knots and very similar payload and troop numbers ?

      Basement channels. Copies videos from other channels and text-to-voice narratives found wherever.

    Meanwhile China has stealth Missile destroyer Cat's doing 50 knots and capable of hitting from 1500+ miles away.

      Huh lol keep dreaming chinas ships can’t even go a 1000 miles from their coast let alone strike targets. Theirs is a defensive navy not an offensive one. Not to mention they don’t have any stealth ships

      Nah they don’t. They don’t have a stealth destroyer nor a large enough displacement to go in deep water. But the range is due to the VLS cells that allow the missiles to reach far. It’s nothing special tbh

      @@portcybertryx222 China does not need a deep water fleet. It has NO intention of invading other countries. It's a defensive force. And thinking the US is going to smash through it? Is a fools errand.

      Their stealth destroyers can even submerge, and fly up to Mach 5. Their missile fuel can even be used to make hot pot.
