I still think that the concept has a problem: it’s designed to operate in the shallows, but a grounding incident destroys a career in the US Navy, so it’s going to be an ugly assignment for the CO.

Still, topping 43kts is impressive.

I am also wondering, with the crewing being so low, everyone is doing multiple duty, as is discussed in the video, whether or not it might have problems with damage control in a combat scenario.

H/t Ares.
