LCS first ship to go from construction to maintenance dock without passing go or collecting $100. In ye olde days if a ship wasn't seaworthy after construction, people had the common sense to let it sink with dignity and grace. Navy also reduces order from 55 to 32 hulls, there will literally be two times more destroyers in service lol. And it's a pure gunship with a shitty 57mm cannon. This has to be the worst """"frigate"""" ever invented.

Threadly reminder that those 4 ships cost as much as the Queen Elizabeth-class.
As in the whole class, both carriers.
Good. This thing being in service lowers combat readiness. The Navy will be more effective without having to limp these things along.
Yeah but every shekel that goes into "maintenance" for these floating abortions is still a dollar not spent on other USN ventures implying any of the money the USN spends is competently allocated.
Why didn't the navy just study the working design elements of the Tarantul III it has and work from there? Surely it would of saved them a lot of time over trying to reinvent the wheel.
I don't care if they say it'll cost more to stop the program. Stop the fucking program. It's shit.

LCS is undeniably horrible, it's inferior to coast guard ships.
Either way USN is considering buying new frigate program. Either way here are the finalists.

The fail: LCS designers are working on both of the frontrunners…. and yes they're failures too.
Captain! We're unable to locate the Clitoral Combat Ship!
“It’s the best ‘combat ship’ fielded by any country in history,” said Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer, indicating air quotes around the words ‘combat ship.’ “Metaphorically speaking, of course.”
