This is the worst weapons decision in the history of the US Navy.

These "ships" are underarmed, short of range and far, far too expensive for what little firepower they have.

A billion bucks for 2,200 tons that cannot sink another ship, take a hit or down a high-flying jet.

STOOPID.

On top of that, this design promises “modularity,” which means that it can be dynamically reconfigured depending on the battle situation. Apparently, this is a total pipe dream where we have been way oversold on what is feasible.
