The U.S. Navy Wasted A Whole Decade Building Bad Ships
David Axe
The U.S. Navy spent a decade in the early 2000s building warships that either don’t work, cost too much to build in large numbers or whose designs are fundamentally flawed on a conceptual level. Or all three.
These floating lemons include the speedy, inshore Littoral Combat Ship and the huge, under-equipped DDG-1000 “stealth†destroyers.
Historians might spend decades debating exactly what drove Navy leaders to pour billions of dollars into these ships for precious little return on their investment.
