I have similar problems with the Littoral Combat ships. They were designed as if there were no mines, no shore launched missiles, no fire and forget munitions and, literally, nobody and nothing that could touch them.

Let’s not even talk about the Army and the so-called Future Combat Systems. What a colossal waste.

I’m afraid for our military future. We’ve lost our edge to politically motivated but militarily useless programs that will leave the soldiers, airmen and sailors in great danger.

All based on assumptions that our enemies won’t shoot back or something like that.

The ship that can't take a punch. I don't understand the thinking. The Navy has PCs for the littoral stuff. If they needed something faster, they have RHIBs.

So basically it's a solution searching for a problem.

Again, another mediocre overpriced product by Lockheed-Martin.
