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.
