This video breaks down what changed, why the Navy is pivoting to the Legend-class National Security Cutterderived hull, and what capability trades may come with a “build it fast” strategy.In plain terms: the Navy is trying to stop repeating the same shipbuilding failure mode—unstable design, weight growth, integration churn, and years of delay—by leveraging a proven American hull form and a scalable yard plan.What you’ll learn in 15 minutes: What actually went wrong with Constellation—and why the Navy hit the brakes Why the legend-class national security cutter hull is attractive (and what it can’t do) What “FF(X)” is meant to do: presence, routine ops, and freeing up destroyers The industrial strategy: lead yard + competitive follow-on production The strategic math: fleet numbers, capacity, and why time is the real constraint#military #navy #ffx #ship #shipbuilding
