USS Montgomery is the fifth littoral combat ship to experience some sort of break down within a year. USS Freedom, USS Coronado, USS Fort Worth and USS Milwaukee are the littoral combat ships that broke down earlier. |

| #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. |

| #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. |
