Ugh. Had to read up on them...design flaws, complex designs, inadequate training resulting in multiple instances of engine casualties.
If they spent even a single half hour on any kind of gender/sexuality training BS, the fault doesn’t like with an individual commander who they seem to like to use as scapegoats for their design/training inadequacies and lack of mission focus because they make all this other crap their focus.
I’m not surprised about the LCS teething problems: everything on these ships is new, including the contractor (some Italian shipbuilder) and the construction methods.
