I can only guess that it’s a test ship to see how it performs. They are finished testing it, so they are now decommissioning it. They should give it to the Coast Guard, so it is designed for to patrol the US coast.

Probably can pick it up at a govt surplus auction for $1,200, but you’ve got to get it home that day. Fleeced.

great expenditure of tax payer dollars.
When there is no accountability to how they waste our money, then they can do BS like this. I now need to find out how much they spent building this ship.
To: artichokegrower
Biden at work, using budgeting to destroy our Navy one ship at a time, while setting up shore schools to teach sailors about transgender acculturation and how to administer oral resucitation.

Seems similar to the Zumwalt Destroyers. The plan was to build 32 of those, but then they were seen as too expensive. They built 3 and considered them to be sort of experimental. I don’t expect them to be in service long. So far, our 21st century ship-building track record is not stellar.

The decommissioned ships cost $5 Billion to build. While the ships were built to spend 25 years at sea. The Navy claims scrapping the ships will save a projected $4.3 Billion in upgrades and maintenance over coming years.
