Official Navy documents refer to the LCS as a “sub-optimal” warship = expendable. Maybe that is why the Navy has refused to get serious about giving it any kind of adequate weapons to defend the LCS in the dangerous waters of the littorals. The LCS design was centered around only one concern — high speed above everything else. No one at NavSea registered that an LCS doing over 45+ knots still cannot out run an anti-ship cruise missile going Mach 0.8 plus. Armament is an after thought and the crew size makes effective damage control well nigh impossible. In short, the multi-billion dollar LCS is a throw away ship with a throw away crew in a throw away Navy.
