#7 Are these the four being sold to Saudi Arabia?

No. It's a "design variant" of the LCS. Which means it's be to outfitted to a more traditional standard, without the F35-like sophistication.

So, no. Not the four current LCSs. Sometimes it helps to read the article.

#8 Oooh that hurt!
Weren't these recently, suddenly, transformed into engineering review beta platforms? What I read was the $1.B deal is now pending, but everybody was hot to get on with it last fall.
