Taking a Look at Some of the US Navy’s Most Advanced Toys

5. USS Harpers Ferry

The USS Harpers Ferry is named after the town in West Virginia for its strategic positioning in the Civil War. To say this warcraft is armed and ready for battle is an understatement. Onboard, you will find two rapid-fire cannons, six machine guns, and two 20-mm Phalanx CIWS mounts. This ship was used to provide humanitarian relief in Burma in 2008 and in the Philippines in 2009.
