Why Retire a 2-Year Old Warship?

such a sickening waste of money yet the drugs and illegal immigrants pour across our unprotected borders enough to make one wanna puke

They are getting tired of components failing.

Lockhart not delivering anything that was promised? Color me shocked 😲

I'm still pissed at the one in charge that decide to retire the USS Sullivans. After 23,000 miles the US. Navy resides to retire the brand new ship! I'm still pissed!

The reality is MIC has gotten sloppy AF. It is high time sloppiness had consequences.

LCS: little crappie ship.

They should’ve known about this problem before they ordered 5 more.

But American ships are the best 😂 lets talk about that Zumwalt class too 😂

With decades of mechanical, advanced material new product development, testing, failure analysis and quality control manufacturing engineering experience, this entire program was doomed day one by rookie mistakes and what appears to be rampant greed and corruption on all levels.

Valid oversight would have killed this doomed program before it started:

A basic understanding of Chemistry, mechanical and nautical engineering, survivability and lethality would’ve prevented one of the largest blunders in US Navy history.

Incompetency is no excuse for absolute stupidity, blatant greed and unacceptable government waste on all levels.

Because we are the so called “best army in the world “, and everything for that army must cost the American taxpayers outrageously !!! Overcharging the naive American taxpayers is the thing the US military industrial thugs doing best and there is nothing nobody can do about it !!!

My question is this..

Wasn’t there already tested & proven propulsion systems that could have been used on these ships??

Big apology to the American taxpayers

This was a big blow to the LCS program.

USN tried to make a fast shallow draft bass boat into a off shore fishing boat, with options to use drag net, troll lines, gill nets, harpoon, even crab pots. It's a failure concept from the beginning. But the idiots in the Navy and government sold this failure to the idiots in the Congress. Shit happens. 🤔🤨🙄😎

It's not to the Navy but from Lockheed martin to be more honnest and present apologies ! Lobbys are everywhere, and they eat all ! this is the real problem...thanks for sharing, Class Independence trimaran is so futuristic, like it ! take care Bro ; )

Lousy oversight, planning, research/development. Lack of a defined mission. Freedom should have been the combat ships, properly equipped. The Independence class should've been for mine countermeasures. The government, as usual, screwed it all up.

looks like a big corruption story

The simple fact of the matter is that the USN (and other service branches) had a few years in which many terrible ideas somehow got through the design bureaus. We can only hope that they've been successfully dealt with and removed!

The whole point of the LCS ships is to have ship that cost less to operate. Everyone knew from the beginning that they would be inferior to Arleigh Burke and Ticonderoga.

LCS=LITTLE CRAPPY SHIPS

American Navy recently:😐
American Super carriers though:😎

What is the name of the song in the intro?

Why not just use them as weapon platforms, full of different missiles?

There are plenty of navy's in the world that would jump at the chance to have some of these ship! Why not sell them to allied navy's for a cheap price instead of scraping them! I think the issue has more to do with a change of management rather than anything else?

So 2 of the 3 issues highlighted in this video, had nothing to do with the ship!

Prime example of my hard earned money being wasted by military and defense industry knuckleheads. I will not vote for any politician who wants to increase taxes which unfortunately means I won’t vote.

On the plus side make some spectacular riverside apartments imagine that! Only way your gonna get some of that cash back could be made into military retirement apartments maybe.
just me thinking outside the box

these ships are a "school" for US Navy, they will learn a lot from that .

More 100 years ago Loughead and Martin built airplanes.... !! "Loockheed-martin" can't make braks....

What a waste of money and time.

Just sell the old hulls to someone else.

Why not releasing to the Coast Guard?

To save the Biden family some money?

The waste of the Pentagon is sickening.

Lockheed-Martin is the most overrated, incompetent and corrupt maker of U.S. weapons. The F-35 by itself is proof of this. Boeing comes in at #2.

Wow, with so much blow, it's like I'm back in 1980s Miami.

Modular can work......
If only the US navy had just copied Stanflex.

But no, that's not conducive to spending $ on contractors.

Also the very idea of assigning mine clearance and ASW to >45 knot ships is ludicrous. Wasted machinery space as both jobs are at odds with high speeds.

Mines are static and high speed = noise = not picking up the Submarine.

While some versatility is a good idea.....

Small ships are ideal for giving officers command experience.

So dedicated Mine hunters and big PT boats to combat small craft are not a bad idea.

Some 50 to 60 yard Corvette with a 76mm cannon and surveilance/armed drones could lob guided cannon shells some 15 to 20 miles. Add stuff like Brimstone/Spear (EW) and it'll even be versatile in combatting larger ships.

A 76mm cannon is good enough for air defence in combo with a SEA-RAM.
2-4 Cell VLS with 8 quad packed ESSM and perhaps some extra missiles could enable the Navies oft quoted distributed lethality.

The corruption of the military industrial complex is sickening. There are young start up companies with young smart engineers. THE USA always go with Lockheed Martin, their glory days wer 30 years ago. If a mechanic screws up my car, I go to another mechanic next time. It's freaking SIMPLE!!!!!

Fools bash the F-35.

Those who know bash the LCS.

Because they were made of the wrong material

DC is stupid, and the Navy Command is insane. From 40 knots to the staggering 26 knots. From a 90 degree in 3 lengths, to a 90 in 6. Twice the crew for twice the gear! We're moving "forward."

360M for such a piece of junk.
Good business! Military complex is superb.

Next to be built is the Boondoggle Class

Ukraine has done more damage to Russian Navy without any Navy Than These but some people are arguing that we should not support Ukraine

We should give several ships in mothballs south of san diego to philippines and ukraine. 2nd largest navy is ours deconmissed and in mouth balls south of san diego doing zero

i wonder what it would cost to turn the retired ships into commercial or private craft? what is funny that the module system was built on top of the ship, you'd think it would be something along the side or rear of it. were there is better access and potentially just being able to shed it similarly to a life raft sort of system... and a winch lift system to bring the other one into position, that was fully loaded. to be locked into place. but i mean idk what the packages were suppose to encompass so maybe that was not practical? hell i'm one who would take two ships and put them together like a catamaran where they were above the waves and use the central canal as a means of lifting materials and such aboard, i even envisioned it being like a dry dock for a submarine. imagine two warships next to each other using a centralized dock /platform between them that has a sub winched up unloading supplies or materials... the subs could have even acted as these modules./weapons packages etc.

Sell or donate it to Philippine Navy
