While I appreciate the bleeding-edge technology that this class of ship and the littoral ships represent, it is very concerning that these are all so fragile that they break frequently and in such ways that the crew cannot fix. Towed to a Chinese-operated port in former US Panama is embarrassing.
The US Navy claims the hull shows up on radar as being of similar size to a fishing boat, rather than being four times larger than the Isle of Wight ferry. Who knew?
