Yeah, a design likely "influenced" by the french "Gowind" OPV
Maybe a "counter attack" from US shipyards... :roll:
(don't forget that in previous us naval seminars, DCNS show a picture (ie. powerpoint slides) of a Gowing under us coast guards color... :|

would you mind posting that?

the USCG official image predates the current gowind design.
