The $362 million warship the US Navy just decommissioned wasn't even in service 5 years

The US Navy officially decommissioned USS Sioux City this week.

The $362 million Littoral Combat Ship has been in service roughly four years and nine months.

The LCS program has long faced problems, and the Navy has sought to redirect its focus elsewhere.
 

The US Navy officially decommissioned a warship with a reported cost of $362 million this week after less than five years of service. It was meant to serve for 25 years.

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
