This article is highly promotional of its subject and U.S.-centric. For example,

This new "system of systems" will significantly contribute to the Coast Guard's maritime domain awareness, as well as the improved ability to intercept, engage, and deter those activities that pose a direct challenge to U.S. sovereignty and security. Deepwater will provide the means to extend our layered maritime defenses from our ports and coastal areas hundreds of miles to sea.

"Our ports and coastal areas"? Come now. In addition, the sentence "The Coast Guard selected the contractor who offered the best value from among the premiere system integration experts in the world" uses language fit for making a sales pitch (best value, premiere experts in the world), not an encyclopedia. It seems to me that this article needs to be cleaned up to describe the program in a much more objective manner. --Occamslawnmower 06:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NATIONAL SECURITY CUTTER not MARITIME SECURITY

Grammar

The following sentences don't make much sense, and I don't understand them well enough to try to fix them:

"Because of the scale of the building program exceeded anything done by the USCG before, Deepwater is unique in that the primary contractors were tasked with are making design and procurement decisions on behalf of the Federal government."

"Recently news stories have surfaced demonstrating his warning that significant C4ISR problems will continue of all future ship assets, like the National Security Cutters, appears to be true."

"The NSC will have a length of 418 feet (125.2 m), be powered by a gas turbine engine with two auxiliary diesel engines, and be capable of 12,000 nautical mile (22,000 km) voyages lasting up to 60 days.'

I believe that this sentence is incorrect. The diesel engines are the prime movers and the gas turbine provides auxiliary power when necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.98.73.12 (talk) 19:36, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
