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.

It is why I think we can't trust our government with our money.


Yeah, we should turn our economy over to the Wall Street banksters...


Who do you think runs it now?


Precisely.

It's our money being wasted. Why are you gloating?

----------------------------------------

I read an article about the cost overruns on these ships a month or so
ago. It bothered me that the two versions are being built by
companies owned (in one case) by a foreign country (Italy) and the
other as a joint venture or something with a company in Australia.

Why aren't American warships built by Americans?


We may not have the capacity to build the ships.


Maybe they just don't want to have to **** with unions crybabies and waste?

We can't afford American-Union built ships.



We don't trust Union built ships?

You couldn't qualify for a job picking up trash at a shipyard.

A better question is who do you think should continue to run it?


It appears that it will be the highest bidder.


Unless people like Elizabeth Warren can do something.

She looks good on MSNBC but she has been pretty ineffective in
actually accomplishing much. That is the main reason she went to the
senate. Every other post she was given was reduced to being
meaningless pretty much immediately.
Let's see what big money does to her in the Senate.
I fear that when the reality of fund raising raises it's ugly head she
will just be another bought and paid for tool of the rich ... or she
will be gone.


Warren, she already is bought and paid for.. Not to mention, like so
many others she cheated her way in...

That's damn scary.


Not really. At the beginning of WW II we didn't have the "capacity"
either until factories and facilities that were making other things re-
tooled to help in the effort (and make a lot of money in the process).
