LCS is lightly armed. It can defeat the pirates in Malacca Straight I think or off Somalian coast...They have to seriously up their firepower in those ships. But they look cool, especially the USS Independence. Now if only looks could kill.

I have been aboard the USS North Carolina, now a museum in Wilmington, NC. I sat in the Captain's chair on the bridge and felt majestic for a moment.
Would love to do it once in my life time atleast. The USS Independence lacks that 'presence' life the Dreadnoughts of the earlier days.

In fairness to the designers/planners of these LCSs they are at the level of corvettes. So naturally they don't have the presence battleships (not even current destroyers can match the romantic appeal of old battleships).

PEARL HARBOR (Dec. 13, 2013) The littoral combat ship USS Freedom (LCS 1) arrives at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Freedom's first operational deployment, a 9-month assignment forward-operating from Singapore, is the first ever deployment for a Littoral Combat Ship and the proof-of-concept deployment for the ship class. Freedom is scheduled to return to homeport at San Diego later this month.

Wow! Down to 32 orders now. The recent bunch of acquisitions haven't gone well for the US. F 35s, LCS, and who knows, the Zumwalt class too!
