What a waste of resources. We should have pulled our military out of Asia and Europe decades ago.

The middle east is where the focus should be.

“The United States has been increasingly vocal about defending freedom of navigation in the South China Sea...”

At the same time we are shrinking our navy into insignificance.

Talk loudly and carry a little twig. Way to go, Obamination.

“we will station several of our newest littoral combat ships”

Jesus,,are we out to intimidate the whole region? Those Littoral ships are packing a single 57mm gun each. Thats 2.25 inches of hot steel. And the USN is recommending the Griffon missile be added too! THAT beast launches a 13 pound warhead 3.5 miles. I hate to see us put that kind of raw raw firepower out there in China’s face.
And that LCS is even able to operate briefly out of sight of land.
This is just crazy power. In the past,, it would have only been entrusted to places like,,,, Ecuador.

An M1 tank has more firepower than this dog of a “warship”.

The crews will need to be educated on behaviour expectations while in Singapore on shore leave, and then reminded several times over and over.

"we will station several of our newest littoral combat ships" in Singapore.

LCS is a worthless POS. The Chicoms are quaking in their boots...not.

Seems like yesterday that the US was saving China from a Japanese invasion. No good deed goes unpunished.
