No more so than an Aegis DDG.
And they are developing a new Surface Warfare module that will make them downright lethal.
“The LCS size and concept is the right one.”
Not even and they are far less survivable than a Destroyer. LCS was exempted from USN damage survivability standards because there is simply no way it can pass them.
It seriously has less firepower than a Bradley sitting on the beach.
It has such a small compliment that the crew is forced to cross train in numerous areas and stand watches in them all. They have zero depth.
It is the weakest “ship” we have ever fielded. A WWII DD or DE far exceeds its combat power with the same draft and better speed and range except for one fast dash that exhausts the LCS fuel worse than an F-105 in burner.
As for littoral, it cannot get close to shore because a T-72 tank could obliterate one.
This thing has no business representing the USN. On the other hand,... maybe it does.
