It may look cook but I wouldn’t want to serve on one. That class of ship has close to zero survivability. A drone will do little to change that.

The only reason the Navy has those ships is so they can say they have ships, when in reality, they are very limited in what they can do, and where they can do them.

I’d rather have 3 destroyers than 10 LCS’s.

But it looks like you can play basketball on the deck of one of these bad boys.

At least destroyers at one time could lay down decent gunfire support. They would often come in close to the coast on RVN and shell with the 5" batteries.

Dunno just what "combat" this LCS is capable of.

this thing is a waste of money, especially if it’s suppose to go inshore (which is what littoral means). it wouldn’t survive one kamikaze attack like the DDs off okinawa.
