The concept has been disproven. We now know that a fleet consisting solely of BFCs (or ships that originally entered in as BFCs) is a logistical nightmare to maintain.


This is essentially what happened after the Short-Hull Perrys left the fleet, but before the LCSs began deploying. There’s simply not enough hulls to go around, manpower requirements dramatically increase, operating costs go up exponentially, and you have to send Burkes to hunt pirates.


The solution for the all Burke fleet was the FFG(X) program. Those hulls are cheaper, can be produced in larger numbers, and are not overkill for the pirate mission. Point is, low-end missions can only be efficiently done by low-end ships. SCFRS reached some very silly conclusions.
