First, calm down for a bit.  No reason to get charged up.  Second, a vague question can only be answered with equally generalized answer.  Which type are you asking? That's like asking what specific radars do destroyers have? Well, which type of destroyer are we talking? 


And that last comment hits the key there - unsophisticated enemy.  Accept the world doesn't always give us unsophisticated enemy.  Using missile boats is within china doctrine of anti access. 


The problem lies not so much in the LCS itself, but the doctrine in which it was envisioned.  The ddg-1000 would cover any weaknesses present in the LCS in a littoral environment.  However, with the cancellation of ddg-1000, the LCS is left vulnerable against anything but unsophisticated enemy.  So what do we do, we put more weapons on a ship that was never designed to wield them, spiking up more cost.
