#1 Hard to believe anyone wants to claim responsibility for the LCS.

#2 Perhaps Mr. Giles should first have a talk w/ the Italians.

Lockheed Martin's advanced semi-planing seaframe is based on technologies introduced by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri on the 1,000t Destrier commercial vessel, which holds the transatlantic speed record, and the 3,000t Jupiter-class.

#5 Just be done with it and cancel these cans, put them in fleet reserve. Stop digging the hole deeper.

#6 If the Navy wanted vessels in this size range maybe they just should of built copies of other classes all ready in service. As to being adaptable IMO the LCS's should of been designed to accept modules based on standard 40 foot cargo containers. Have modules configured for gunfire support, air defense, ASW or berthing for Special Ops. But I don't know what's the bigger screw up. The LCS or the Zumwalt Class. They should stuck with Arliegh Burke's and Perry's. Hell, maybe they can pawn them off on the Coasties
