US Navy Decommissions Two More Littoral Combat Ships Due to Design Flaws

The two littoral ships quietly retire in Mayport, Florida


—

The United States Navy quietly bid farewell to two more of its littoral combat ships (LCS), USS Detroit (LCS-7) and USS Little Rock (LCS-9), in a decommissioning ceremony held last Friday, September 29. This decision comes after just six and seven years of service for the respective vessels.

The LCS-7 and LCS-9, belonging to the US Navy’s Freedom class, were retired early due to major design flaws that rendered them unsuitable for continued service.

A Look Back at Their Service

The decommissioning ceremony, presided over by LCS-7 Commanding Officer Cmdr Kyle Hickman, reminded us of the significant roles these ships played in safeguarding the nation’s waters.

USS Detroit and USS Little Rock were deployed for intelligence-gathering operations and patrols, contributing to the US international anti-drug trafficking campaign.

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

US taxpayers really got a good bang for their buck with those ships.  :facepalm2:

The LCS worked as intended, to be money pits with limited or no usefulness.

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.

That's why one of them is named after Gabby Giffords.
