It’s great that they made an effort to recognize those old war horses. But it would have been neater if they’d used a class of ship that they will actually use. The Navy is trying to give away the whole LCS class since they don’t work as advertised. As best as I can tell the completed ones are parked already. They have a stupid, stoopid, power plant and drive line that is way too complex for a combatant.
I can’t figure out why the Navy would order so many ships with unproven technology without building a prototype or two first and seeing how they fared over time. Call me cynical, but the only explanation I can think of is there was massive graft involved.
