I've read about this class's development for a few years. I would like someone more knowledgeable that me to fully explain what its mission is and how it will achieve it. Thanks

It's supposed to be a shallow-draft destroyer.
But it's non-Blue Water and has very limited range.

It can't even perform to Coast Guard Cutter standards, except for speed.

In other words, it's just another stinkin' boondoggle for Lockheed-Martin.

No real conclusions, but it is a warm-up.
