Navy official defends littoral combat ship - Washington Times
Navy Undersecretary Robert O. Work on Monday batted back a barrage of criticism over the Navy's littoral combat ship (LCS), a small surface vessel intended to maneuver coastlines and counter mines, submarines and surface warfare.
Critics said the ship, which will comprise a third of the Navy's surface combatant fleet, has a flawed design, and is unnecessarily costly and ill-suited for combat.
