Not a truck but still cool

Howdy All,

As most of you know I build ships for a living and here is our latest offering.
Built at our yard in Alabama Independance is the first of a fleet of high speed military vessels.
Design for these is all done here in WA.
Powering for the beastie consists of two 22000 kw general electric turbines and two MTU V20's at 9100kw each.
Vessel is 127 meters long and good for 50 knots loaded.
Enjoy....Basil

Basil,

This looks impressive and I note how much you get out of only two MTUs - had 4

Swishy,

There are many things I cant tell you but here is some stuff thats okay:

There is all sorts of secret squirrel weapons systems onboard.....This thing is a pirates worst nightmare >

Fuel consumption at full noise around 12000 liters / hour - Diesel
Bit over a thousand tons of aluminium.
Inside below the heli deck is a mission deck that can handle the 62 ton MI Abrahams tanks like them second hand ones our GI Joes just bought. Enough room for 150 Hummers.
It can be reconfigured quickly to take mission modules the size of containers with plug in power and air con systems for special ops. Theres a track system to move em around abit like the system used on cargo planes.
It can also launch retrieve a heap of landing craft.
Your can see the side bi folding loading ramp below heli deck.
I can set you up with one for about 250 million $US


Cant tell you about crew numbers and what choppers it carry's sorry.
