No don't think I've ever seen an LVTP7-AAAV kicking up that much of a wake.

Frans, the LVTP-7 (AAV-7) and the EFV (Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle) are two different beasts, the former capable of only about 6 mph in the water and the latter supposedly three times that (assuming it holds together and the occupants don't have their brains rattled out of their skulls, IIRC they're still working on that

Okay, so you meant the EFV. I didn't think this one would last long but as I said its quite an interesting craft. Apparently capable of waters speeds of between 37-46km/h (20-25knots) it is certainly a zippy performer.

It does bring up some interesting possibilities, perhaps this will be how the USMC arrives on your shores some time in the future.

Actually, given today's news, I think the new uniform will likely look something like this:

Apologies to Darren for hijacking the thread, but Dan started it.

Well its gone quiet again so here is another one. Sorry about the size, its sometime hard to find big enough pics of the interesting stuff. This one shouldn't be too hard regardless.

Nah not a rocket, in fact its performance proved to be a little disappointing.
