vandeg	needs more missiles... though with the large back deck I bet they could set up just about anything... including a tennis court...

THEmoose	well, what do u mean by "I'll never see them used in my lifetime"? 1. are you that old? 2. do you mean used for demonstrational purposes or used in actual ship-to-ship combat? cause if it's the latter, then I'd truly hope that I never see them used either... war and sinking ships is fun, but only in the world of cyberspace

CMDR_NAPIER	I think the important thing about these ships is that they are the in-between to the DDG-1000 Zumwalt Class. It won't be saving loads of money like Zumwalt's policies were as CNO, but they are giving the Navy the info they need to be prepared to install the railgun systems on the three that they have ordered once those are ready (and stable...) If they can get the railguns working, those things will be the next "battleships" with their ability for ultra-long range destructive power! Too bad I'll prolly never see it put to use in my lifetime...

TimmyC	Great in theory, but extremely high cost for little in return makes them less attractive than they could've been. Many of the modules that are supposed to go with the ships have yet to actually be designed and several have been cancelled. The low manpower of the vessels, while great for saving costs, has also put significantly higher strain and stress on the crews that are serving on them. Not to mention the disadvantages when it comes to damage control.

Desolate	These LCS are pretty fast, but that's not the neat thing about them. What makes them unique is the module system they've created for them, literally allowing them to play any role from logistics to assault.

CMDR_NAPIER	LCS-2 Independence, it's the US Navy's second in a series of Litoral Combat Ships. Got to tour it while it was under construction, and it is incredible! Since they are minimizing crew, there is no galley staff (dish washing), everyone takes care of their own dishes and silverware. The bridge was actually a pretty cool setup. As opposed to most current craft that can have upwards of 12 or more watchstanders on the bridge controlling the ship, this baby has 3 chairs with laptop computers that control everything needed by the ship! That's right, this thing can pretty well function just fine with only like 8 people aboard total (if you count manning the weapon systems and someone running the engines). It's a helluva ship, for sure!
