Littoral Combat Ship?
Who named these thing? The average person doesn’t know what littoral means.
Even if they are an albatross, they need a name that an enemy can understand like, battleship or destroyer.
Why not just call them sissy ships and be done with it?

Littoral? I thought it was “Clittoral”. Whoops.

You’re right.
They should have been called “Gunboats” and given a designation of “PG” instead of LCS.
