EagleOne's Mothership

Whenever EagleOne starts talking about an inexpensive shore fleet the critics come out and suggest logistics is a problem. I'm going to beat this argument up very soon, but for now, I'd like to give a suggestion of perhaps one idea we should look at for both Coast Guard and Navy inshore fleet network support, or what I call motherships. If we build a few, I vote we call this the EagleOne class mothership.


If you can't see a military use for that ship in fighting piracy, I'd suggest you seriously lack imagination. I'd take that ship, anything from the Mk V and up in terms of deployable vessels, 2 Coast Guard detactments, a Marine heavy weapons platoon, and a 0-5 with a poliical mandate please.

As I always say, manpower if you want to preserve the peace, unmanned systems if you want to destroy your opponent in war.
