They lost nothing with the LCS. They’re out there doing 2/3 of the jobs they were planned to do.

And the zumwalts were never planned as a standard DDG like the burke.


The constellation class is a replacement for the OHPs, something that should have been launched over a decade ago, when they removed missile capabilities from the OHPs.

The navy’s short sightedness is the only reason any time was lost on ship design/building.


‘Marginal use in combat’

So LCS sinking Burkes in wargames is marginal use?


LCSes being described as ‘owning’ the pacific during their deployments and requiring 3 ships to shadow them including much more conventionally capable destroyers is ‘marginal’ capability.


Ton for ton an LCS has the most offensive fire power in the current fleet.
