What's the difference between a cruiser, a destroyer, a frigate, and a littoral combat ship?

By
This is meant to be a general overview of each of these ships and their capabilities, not looking at specific information such as size and armament (which can easily be found online, if you want specific facts about each ship).  Littoral Combat Ship (LCS):  One of the newest types of ships, made up of the Freedom and Independence Classes with only 3 ships in service. LCS's are very small, versatile ships that were created with the aim of extending the Navy's capabilities closer to the shore.

Some propeller repairs you can do yourself!

DIY PROP REPAIRS Three DIY propeller maintenance tasks to keep your wheels turning. Unless you are an expert welder who also happens to have access to a hydraulic press, the chances of your completing a major propeller repair or reconditioning job successfully are slim and none. And Slim doesn’t work here anymore. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t perform minor repair and maintenance. After all, even small imperfections can impact performance and the mechanical integrity of your driveline. Here are three DIY propeller maintenance tasks. Fixing a Ding Perhaps you whacked flotsam or jetsam at night, or maybe you too enthusiastically chased the school of fish into the boulder garden. Whatever. Your propeller now has a moon-shaped bend in the edge of one blade. You can likely make the propeller usable until you can send it out for recon. You’ll need two adjustable wrenches — aka crescent wrenches — to complete this task. Affix the jaws of one wrench on the e...
