Every time I read about the Littorals, they made me think of the Chevy Vega. Guess I was right. They are a perfect example of how out of control Flag Officers are.
“Every time I read about the Littorals, they made me think of the Chevy Vega”
That’s the perfect analogy. A car designed by men who were not designers and then handed off to someone to execute who had not only no sense of ownership, but distain for the design. It is the only car in Detroit’s history that broke in half on the test track. Don’t tell me the people who assembled it didn’t know that would happen. Malicious obedience if there ever was.
