Ships Costing U.S. $37 Billion Lack Firepower, Navy Told
By David Lerman - Mar 28, 2013

The U.S. Navy’s troubled Littoral Combat Ship, a vessel intended to be
small and speedy for use in shallow waters close to shore, lacks the
firepower it needs, a top U.S. navy commander said in a classified memo.


Did you ever see the movie "Pentagon wars"? It is worth the rental.

This looks like the same deal.

... and yet these guys can't find $30 billion of waste anywhere
without withdrawing a carrier battle group from the middle east.
