Those are both roles that an Independence class LCS is quite capable of doing, due to that huge helo deck and mission bay.Any ship I'd want to use for that role would also need a large helo deck, probably larger than what the Freedom class LCS have or any of the Coastie designs.Based on how loud the HSVs were, I'd believe it.We were on the surface, coast in view. One of the HSVs went the other way past us, between us and the coastline, and I had to shout to be heard by the OOD standing 4 feet away. In another instance, we were submerged and tracking targets. Had one at 15kyards, and an HSV at 30k. HSV completely drowned out the contact at 15k, and the contact at 15k wasn't quiet. This was 2002, before the Lincoln went on her cruise of doom(tm).
