279 feet / 85 meters is the length after her 1990's overhaul. They cut the ship in half and added about 30 feet amidships for extra laboratory space, endurance (fuel) and berthing space. They also took the time to switch from cycloidal propulsion to Z drives. I am currently working on her post refit...

LCS-10 .... USS Gabrielle Giffords .... !? With naval budgets and ship strength shrinking all over the globe, I would imagine that certain names would be kept on the active list to maintain a symbolic and historical link with the past. Names such as Constitution, Enterprise, Hartford ... Certainly N...

Thanks Novice. I'm not 100% happy with my effort so far on the logo. It's raised from the funnel and I tried to show some depth to that. There is also a coat of arms on the bow, which I tried to show here, but it is small and barely visible.
