The story is that US Navy is cutting its losses on this class of vessels. They were poorly designed, and they performed poorly
Not only that, the maintenance costs were huge on it.
I think they’re doing the right thing. This is a classic case of when you were in a hole, stop digging
They are undoubtedly catching heat for doing so, and they are deserving of that, but it is a lemon that cannot be squeezed.

And they are being replaced with Constellation Class frigates. Which is a much better design.
