Commonality is one good reason. Another is cost. Designing new classes of warships is a long, expensive process. By buying a class from someone else, even modified to incorporate your own indigenous systems, you save both time and money since someone else has already done the design work and testing...

In researching current ship classes, I came across something interesting....American ships, and some foriegn vessels, seem to be built with speed intentionally built in (30-32 knots designed speed seems fairly standard for USN designs) while European designs seem to not be as concerned (28 knots or ...

Sensors should be probably a visual cluster with thermal imaging, IR, and HD daytime video. Possibly allow integration with surf...

Fit it without Stinger, with the intended role of anti surface point defense...there aren't too many boats under 30 meters long (gunboats, pir*te skiffs, etc) that can take a volley from a 25mm gattling gun. And remain serviceable. Combine that with the mk 110 (itself with a rather prodigious rate o...
