The crew is probably really looking forward to seeing the sun and blue sky. Not much for going out on deck, like a surface running sub.
Waste of money on obsolete death traps.
We should nuke our enemies into oblivion or else leave them alone.
Why throw able-bodied young boys at our enemies as cannon fodder when we have the technology to wipe them off the map altogether?
10 nukes would have fixed Iraq and Afghanistan - but instead thousands of dead and maimed boys later, those conflicts still simmer on unabated and they are more fixated than ever on Islam.
Fighting with this junk is a total waste. Now that we have nuclear weapons and airborne delivery capabilities, what good is something like this?
This is sort of like a highly trained prize-fighter learning how to scratch or pull hair when they can deliver a knockout blow.
Serving as a plank sailor on the first of a new class of ship is a real career enhancer so it goes without saying, in Obama’s Navy, that the crew have political connections...
...in other words, a third of the crew will be women, a third homosexual and a third people of color.
I was reading at one point that, in real life, the "switchable" modules, instead of being switchable in days would take weeks. Plus:
A key LCS failure identified by the OPNAV report, sources said, is its inability to effectively defend against anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs), a weapon carried by hundreds of small, fast-attack craft operated by virtually all potentially hostile navies.The Navy tried for a multi-capability ship, and instead got something that can't do anything well, has low survivability if hit, and needs to be protected by "real" warships.
Both classes are under armed, crews are too small, and of doubtful use in a fight. To survive, they must never leave the battle group protective ‘bubble’. The long service FFG-7 class frigates are going away without replacement and the LCS is a ‘swoose’ design — half swan and half goose that cannot do either job well.
