If their smart No LCS spinoff will be chosen my personal uneducated choices boils down to the Euro designs personally choosing Fremm just for its looks
A foreign Class or variant would be an enormeous surprise i don't remenber a no US Combattant ! Smileys perplexe.PNG

If we see Tanker program replacement with KC-46 and A-330MRTT about 10 years :rolleyes: ... would be surprising DOD buy foreign Frigates even build under license was planned also for A-330MRTT/KC-45
UH-72 is different a little cheaper helo about 5 millions $ without expensive EW systems used for SAR/Security missions in USA replace UH-60 in ANG and TH-67 for training in active.

You're right Master Forbin, there's NO Way that Trump will buy anything other than American,, made in the USA!

You may be right but these ships (if the foreign) designs are chosen will be foreign in name only total U.S. equipment and Made in the USA by US workers besides all of the designs chosen except the Legend class have a foreign partner or subcontractor
So if being foreign is a disqualification the the Hunington Ingalls Legend class is the winner and really isn' a bad choice at all!!
