‘I think if they Float they can Fight’
Ward Carroll sat down for 40 minutes with Retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Ted LeClair, whose last active duty billet was Director of Task Force LCS, and talks abut the 27 active “Little Crappy Ships” the entire time.
There is much insight and straight talk about these ships, which have absorbed $30 billion in Navy treasure since they were first spitballed. Sure, there is a bit of reputation and legacy defense, but there is also a good bit of clear-eyed assessment from a guy who knows where the bodies are buried on LCS.
If you are curious about these ships, this is required listening.
