Hi Shaun. Before was the largest with 127 meters. Commercial-civil service its still the largest. But actually the new, from the USNavy, Independence class LCS (Litoral Combat Ships) based in the same Benchijigua Express design, are 127 meters too.

She is the best of the best. Second largest Aluminium hulled vessel ever.

And simply flies through the water. 38 Knots is her usual speed.
