So the Caspian sea monster, but make it American by adding words like "liberty" and "freedom" to the name? Got it.

  Considering they mentioned the ekranoplans in the linked article this seems like just a low quality regurgitation. American naming schemes tend to be like this. It's just branding.

    I wasn't aware of that pattern. Can you give some examples of Americans doing this more than other peoples?

      > doing this more than other peoples I don’t think a pattern needs to be exceptional to be notable. The first example that comes to mind is Freedom Fries (lol) https://www.google.com/search?q=freedom+fries&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari https://www.google.com/search?q=freedom+fries&ie=UTF-8&oe=UT...

    The depicted images didn't show a ground-effect vehicle, which seems odd -- it fits the job and is much more economical than the winged plane shown.

      There's the mention of "sustained flight at mid-altitudes". Perhaps the intention is for this to be able to fly over land as well? Maybe by sacrificing some cargo capacity in mid-altitude flights?
