Why is the US Navy ’s radical - modern Littoral Combat Ship a failure after five years ? Wired ’s David Axehas the answer .
The Littoral Combat Ship was supposed to be a light , disposable ship that could operate on the coastal waters where most modern naval fighting happens . It was go away to alter the fleet from lead - footed bruiser into a collection of fast - pretend ranger ship that could re - outfit on the tent-fly . In practice , “ instead of thick , brute - mere coastal brawlers ” we get down “ over - inflated , gas - guzzling , gutless ship pendent on ultrahigh - technical school gizmos . ” Not good .
Navy organisation could n’t or would n’t settle on what they wanted the ship to be , and it ended up swim in a morass of half - realized aspiration . [ Wired ]
