Guys, these are not combat ships. They are not even real US Navy vessels.
They are not USS, they are USNS and that means they are not designed for combat, but to work in the areas behind the combat and bring troops and equipment forward and to do it very quickly.
The Spearhead ships are going to be very good at that.
If the US Navy accepted design changes that weakened them for heavy sea states, then there should be a shared liability and some people need to lose their jobs.
Having said that, it is important to realize what the ships were designed to do, and what they were not designed to do.
Here's a picture of one of them:
These ships are not built to the design and construction standards employed for regular naval vessels. The standard used for this class of ship was the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). These are the standards that apply to design and construction of commercial ships. Since these are not U.S. Navy ships, equipment for it can be purchased on the open market. The Navy and MSC evidently bought off the shelf Italian manufactured Generators, which are now giving them real problems with reliability.
