The LCS is a failed concept. But no one has the guts to admit it. It will serve as a “flaming datum” once the shooting starts.
I never have understood what was so different from a LCS and a FFG or a DD. Is it THAT much shallower draft? How freaking close do you really want to be to shore? With craptastic survivability? Any number of crew served weapons can ambush you FROM THE BEACH and take you out. And if you aren’t going to get THAT close then a FFG or a ‘corvette’ can do the same job. It might be a perfectly nicely built ship but the whole role seems flawed.
