The Navy will decommission Littoral Combat Ships USS Little Rock (LCS-9) and USS Detroit (LCS-7) this week, ending a month marked by the decommissioning of six warships to close out Fiscal Year 2023.

The two Freedom-class LCS, based in Naval Station Mayport, Fla., are some of the youngest ships in the fleet. The Littoral Combat Ships both have less than 10 years in service. Little Rock was commissioned in 2017, Detroit in 2016. They are likely going be transferred to other countries as foreign military sales cases, USNI News understands.

Little Rock was operating in U.S. 4th Fleet as recently as late August, and Deroit was deployed as recently as two weeks ago, according to social media posts from each ship.

The pair of ships joined other Freedom LCS and Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers that the Navy marked for decommissioning last year.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
