HII to Unveil New Patrol Frigate Designs at Pacific 2012 Navy & Maritime Security News at DefenceTalk

This is a great idea! HII needs to do what it can to protect the shipbuilding industry in America, and in fact, we need these ships in the US Navy as the LCS program has simply too many problems right now.

Now he's forced to keep them, or get rid of the SECDEF.
