NBC as in MSNBC; a bunch of journalists from the Peacock network came aboard, so they went into high seas afterwards to wash away the residual journo filth.
>constellation class
Congress: gee are you sure you want ALL your carriers to be nuclear? seems kinda expensive
Navy: yes
Congress: let's have a couple of gas-powered ones just in case
Navy: but I
Congress: YOU HEARD
Navy: oh all right
It's also used for fire suppression so he's ight technically.
Not that it would do anything but spread the fire initially, but eventually it would push the oil of fuel overboard, so for large fires it can actually help.

what a time to be alive
As long as they don't try to cram too much into the hull or try to tailor it specifically for new tech that's still in testing and subject to change. And don't pussy out and cancel the order because the initial unit cost is high. Ideally they should be building 40-60 of these things, not 20.
Basically all the tech is off the shelf, and I wouldn't be shocked to see an upgraded model after the initial 20 get built for another round of 20 boats.
I know, but somehow the US is still over a billion for the initial unit while the Euros are generally between 500-800 million. This should be dead simple but I don't trust the navy not to find a way to fuck it up at this point.
Don't forget that's is essentially an all new Hull (It's both wider and longer than FREMM) with a new superstructure (To fit the US Systems). The ships are barely FREMMs at this point.

This is actually a good thing, from previous experience of US shipbuilders, taking a hull of fixed dimensions and trying to make your equipment fit inside of it when it was originally designed for it, is STUPID and expensive, and NEVER works out.
So customizing the hull shape/size for the US systems is actually probably going to save money in the long run.
>Oh no, the chink fishermen used chinesium nets to capture it!
Is this some kind of carrier car wash?
NBC wash off.
What does NBC stand for? Does it have something to do with nuclear radiation?
Nuclear
Biological
Cemical
Nuclear Biological Chemical
Anything you'd put on a hazmat suit for.

Why are they washing it? Did it get nuked?
Test of the system
could be wrong but i think its primarily a fire suppression system
fucking waste of digits on a know-nothing

Imagine a carrier sized wet t-shirt contest.
seems like a good solid frigate, not much to redpill on
Constellation is the best frigate, Constitution fags get fucked.

US boats get Aegis baseline 10 and AN/SPY-6(V)3
Also the US EW systems likely cost quite a bit.
Not to mention the increased engine power output and associated electrical system upgrade.

when it wasn't originally
it constells lations.
