A US Navy (USN) Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) rests on a launch rail aft of the mission bay onboard the USN Littoral (near-shore waters) Surface Craft-Experimental (LSC-X), which is moored to the dock at the Nichols Brothers Boat Builders Shipyard, Freeland, Whidbey Island, Washington (WA), ready for its christening ceremony when it will officially become the USN Fast Ship Frame Class, USS SEA FIGHTER (FSF 1). The SEA FIGHTER will help to evaluate the hydrodynamic performance, structural behavior, mission flexibility, and the propulsion systems of high-speed catamaran style vessels
