I’ve always complained that the LCS was undergunned for any effective mission.

While the US is at it, they should price some modern diesel submarines.

With the protectionist Donald Trump in office, he added, we’re not going to start now.

Sigh! I was so into design evaluation and the author had to show his ignorance. America First does not mean, no foreign trade. It means make a good business deal. Allow US companies to innovate and compete.

I like the idea of having ships with foreing radars like the APAR and Smart-L. If information can be shared with our Aegis ships quickly, these might allow for better radar coverage for our flotillas.
