It's painted in H2O camo so you can't see it.

Navy's New Pirate Catcher
Here are some recent photos of the LCS-2
(to be named the USS Independence)

Here she is at sea trials running at only HALF power at 43 knots!
NOTE the absence of a bow wave.

Also turns tightly, too.
Allegedly this turn was also done at 43 knots.....and from the look of the small bow wave, she's
still in the turn – note the absence of any sign of her 'heeling over' even at that speed.

And then there's the massive helo deck big enough for a CH-53.
THIS was the LCS the SURFPAC guys wanted years ago because of the
huge storage capacity under the flight deck and the size of the flight deck.

Note that there is very little spreading wake. In fact, it does not look like a wake at all,
just foamy water from the water jets. Somehow, at 43 knots, you'd think there'd be more of a wake.

She's aerodynamically designed and kind of strange looking.
Is this beginning of a new design in ships?

Here's some more pics of the U.S. Navy's new pirate catchers!

WOW! A couple of these should be able to
clean up the pirates off the coasts of Africa .

It seems that YOU MUST have a Gmail account to see the PICs. AOL does that same crap.
