The OPC (as spec'd) won't be a slouch here either (9000nm at economical speeds, 45 days endurance, 11m & 7m RHIB, helo and VTUAV support). My thought was, since it isn't out of the design phase, they Navy could work a deal to impose some NVRs, maybe improve quieting with a diesel-electric plant and make other modifications to the design, with the understanding that a larger USCG/USN buy will reduce prices for both. And since it's smaller than the NSC, you might be able to buy 6-7 for the price of 4 LCS. Makes sense.
