How Do You Launch America's Newest $360M Ship ''Like A Toy In A Bathtub''

The USS Detroit got launched on Saturday, a 3,500 ton littoral combat ship built at a cost of around $360 million. Lockheed Martin dropped the ship into the water like a toy into a bathtub.

Of course, a sideways launch for a ship this size is the norm rather than the exception,as we've seen for years.

Still, it's kind of awesome to see the Navy's newest pride hitting water like it was made of plastic. Deployment is expected next year.
