The Sea Wolf didn’t work off the bat and the Virginia’s had teething issues.

Yes but nothing like what’s going on with the LCS and F-35 programs.

Well both of these were Fast Attack types and what happened to the Sea Wolf was a change in mission, not that it didn't work per se.

The missile boat fleet (boomers) is in need of upgrade. These boats a rode hard and put up wet and need replacement. Their mission hasn't changed.
