Everything I’ve read about the littoral combat ship has been bad. It is too lightly armored and vulnerable in its close-in mission profile to shore launched missiles and shallow water mines. The do-everything concept doesn’t work yet. It failed in the Army’s FCS and it isn’t looking good for mission modules either.

So, one ship can do every mission, have no armor and not use any support...okay.

The LCS is a complete disaster going back many many years.
In an attempt to be everything to everybody, it became nothing to anybody. Everybody involved in the planning of this ship should be fired.

LCS is a POS. overpriced, lightly armed and armored for inshore work and not enough crew for damage control. plus the turnaround for change of mission modules is a lot longer than envisioned. did i say overpriced? remind me of the CVEs at leyte gulf when they were put in a situation they weren't designed for. hell an SS-N-22 or 26 would probably pass right through an LCS without exploding.
