** One of the improvements for Milwaukee are specially designed waterjets that replace the commercial versions used on previous Littoral Combat Ships. **

It’s main engine was supposed to be powered by a full complement of male gerbils, but the SecDef decided that transgender gerbils could do anything that male gerbils can do.

Ever-increasing costs go hand-in-hand with more complexity and lower reliability

Just another Little Crappy Ship.... a pier Queen. It’ll more time at the pier to fix whatever ain’t working than on the high seas. Each LCS needs a tug assigned to it.

Less than that: 20 days.
From RT.com:

" While the ship has been criticized for insufficient armor and for sporting anemic offensive capabilities, a report from 2013 also found the fleet to be vulnerable to cyber attacks. That same year, the Defense Department's director of operational testing and evaluation said the LCS were "not expected to be survivable" in a "hostile combat environment."

Hmmm, combat vessel that can't survive a hostile environment.. Sounds perfect!

That re-usable cooking oil had too many chicken bones in it.
