Ah.I see the problem. You didn’t link to the named source, but rather to someone’s blog “scout.com military warrior”

With appropriate comments on the author’s “Iowa class destroyers”

The writer proves he’s an idiot at either link - or the various editors are trying successfully to make him look like one.

Oops, will ask for it to be pulled down.

The "Littoral Combat Ship" has been a dud since its conception. The LCS was supposedly meant to provide close-in fire support for amphibious forces (to make it so destroyers and cruisers wouldn't have large guns in the future - the navy never liked the gunfire support mission).

Instead, they have proposed but never added the half-baked fire support weapons that never survived the testing process.

I asked my buds at Dahlgren what the LCS was designed to do and they said "to sink in shallow water".
