Other than a one or two off emergency mission, it’s a pretty bad addition to LCSes.LCSes have their own jobs and missions, even during a conventional war, and none of those missions require VLS. They are not frigates, nor should they be treated remotely similar to a frigate.The best example of how this could be a good idea is something like loading them on, sprinting to a firing position and launching a TLAM strike, and then sprint out to safety.My biggest question is how expendable does the navy see these launchers? After firing what would justify unchaining them, and dumping them in a hard turn.
