LCS doesn’t have enough crew on board to do damage control and fight the ship at the same time.

They also can’t serve mess and do maintenance at the same time.

Undermanned. Under armored. Under armed.

What could possibly go wrong?

Weapons makers don’t pass along the skim to congresscritters?

Well, the welds between the aluminum and steel on the thing could crack wide open.

When I read that they were going to weld aluminum and steel together, that was what made me dispense with any further support of the idea. There are some ideas that are just so stupid, no more information is necessary.

It is neither littoral nor combat ship. This lemon and crew must keep out of the beach as far as possible for safety reasons. A couple of T-72 tanks are capable to sink a dozen of ships like that under two minutes.
