T&T: A trawler she is not

Here's some more info about the USS Freedom with pictures:

and some awesome pictures of its launching at:

There are other stealth design Navy vessels in the experimental stage, 
one of which can be seen at:

When we passed through Norfolk in September and anchored in the area to 
the west of Old Point Comfort, there was a small trimaran style stealth 
vessel and another unusual vessel readily viewable by the public at the 
Navy's dock in the small channel leading back to the anchorage (and the 
Army operated marina). We've seen several unusual vessels there in years 
past.
