Cut the losses. They were a dumb idea to begin with.

Except for the hull cracks and a propulsion system limiting the ship to the speed of a garbage scow, what’s not to like?

Scrap? Sounds like they’d be good for a strategic reserve.

The Little Crappy Ships were a failure from day one. They’re not big enough to be effective and the Navy hated them from the start.

Were ‘t these supposed to be the ships to replace the Iowa Class?

By all means lets increase the defense budget.

Thats sarcasm. The amount of money the DoD wastes is staggering. They should get a cut and learn to make better decisions. But of course that will never happen.

Someone someplace in the USA could fix this and sell them back to the USA. Offer a billion dollar buy back clause and someone will figure it out.

We are SENDING A MESSAGE to Russia and China, which is that we no longer need navel ships, since we now have the UN on our side.

Saves Russia the trouble of wasting hypersonics on them.

I watched a documentary on the battle in the Pacific during WWII.

They used a lot of naval gunfire during the amphibious operations.

Can the Navy still do that?

The Marines are giving up their tanks.

I read that they are thinking about giving up their artillery.

Is this smart?
