This comes despite some of the vessels being almost brand new. Politico noted that the Navy and Department of Defense declined to confirm or deny the FY 2023 budget request. According to an article by The Drive, the oldest example that’s still on duty is just seven years old.
The article by The Drive adds that the Navy in 2021 said that it would take years to put in place critical fixes to propulsion systems in all Freedom class vessels that it had acquired.
What the ■■■■ …how incompetent can some be who made the design, approved it, tested it and purchased it? Is anyone in jail for this multibillion dollar mistake? Do they still have a job?
Our government’s answer…oooooooooops…let’s scrap them and do it again.

My daughter went out on LCS 7 on what was supposed to be a training mission. Well, it was, but not what they planned. Let’s just say she was NOT impressed. They limped back to Port 24 hours after leaving.

All the individuals involved with the engine fiasco on the LCSs should be keelhauled, preferably using the hull of the USS Gerald R. Ford. That was the worst contractor negligence, Navy dereliction, that I have ever seen in my life.

Yea, she mentioned a big oil leak, oil fire, etc.
Eisenhower warnings were pretty short lived. LBJ and the Viet Nam war changed everything.

Eisenhower was honest and LBJ was not. What hasn’t changed, is the lack of honesty in most of our politicians since Eisenhower and Pelosi and Biden are two perfect, present day examples of what I’m saying.
