I heard the other day that one of the Navy’s Littoral Combat ships cracked a hull in the Panama canal...hitting some rocks or something.

Funny, Littoral means sea/land battle space - able to get close in, down and dirty....yet the hull on this one gets “cracked” (as the article explains it).

Another one broke in the Philippines Sea

My guess, Aluminum hull or Chinese steel.
