The "early deployment" of LCS-1 when it went through the Caribbean on the way to San Diego was bad enough - but as Lee pointed out to me in a part of the article I missed in the first scan - if you fool them once; why not again?
The first LCS, Freedom — one of only two LCSs in commission — will make a cruise later this year to Singapore, but will be fitted only with a demonstration mission module, not one of the mine-warfare or anti-submarine warfare modules the Navy urgently needs the ships to carry out.Gundecking like a boss.
Speaking of boss .... looks like LCS has some continuity problems in the new year as well.
The gift that keeps on giving.
