Well at least if/when the F125 has it's problems ironed out it will be a well armed warship. If LCS were to function exactly as intended it would still be under armed, over priced and too short legged (ie range).


Actually ... well, not really. No VLS (meaning minimal Air Defense capabilities), it's not yet clear if it'll get some kind of Anti-Ship-Missile system after the Harpoons get past their "Scrap by" date, factually zero Anti-Submarine capabilities ... For a 7,000 ton warship it's simply an oversized, overprized and overweight cruiser-sized Wannabe-Gunboat for colonial adventures (which our constituency likes sooo much /s).
