I thought we were still at 11 overall? A quick search shows 19 delivered, 11 being constructed. Putting it together, the four designated as test ships are the ones being retired.
From the Navy, "A total of 35 LCS have been awarded to date: 19 ships have been delivered (LCS 1-18 and 20); 11 additional LCSs are under various stages of construction and five are in the pre-construction phase."
Lots of detail by the Navy at https://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=4200&tid=1650&ct=4

Two Congressmen perhaps. The shipyards building these ships are in Green Bay and Mobile.

We bought more than 4. Closer to 40 than 4.
