Reviewing the U.S. Navy’s LCS Deployments to the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region

I never "hated" the LCS concept, rather it was the haphazard way in which LCS was foisted on the fleet. The Modular design never made sense to me as an engineer, not as a manager. Too many moving parts. Was not a big fan of spending tons of money on unproven designs, when off the shelf designs that were already proven could have been had for much less... I am all for smaller, faster more lethal ships, and am glad to see that they are making their mark. The growing pains seem to be over, and I am pretty sure that the Navy will see some big benefits in the future.
