[QUOTE=JohnG;152181]Does anybody know when the last time a Navy surface warfare ship was involved in combat? As far as I can tell, it seems their main purpose is to protect carriers; something that a littoral combat ship is unsuited for.
Also, does anybody know where these LCSs are supposed to be used for combat?[/QUOTE]
I do not believe LCSs are intended to be part of a carrier battle group but were supposed to take the place of the FFG-7 class which where themselves intended to take the place of destroyer escorts. Littorial Combat is by its very name, fighting in coastal waters.
as far as I can tell our sooperdooper leaders of the grandiose mighty US Navee are simply lost souls who no clue as to where they would fight or even how?
