The Distinction Between Cruiser Destroyer Frigate & LCS

Spoilers, all naval ship classification is biased and inconsistent as there us no uniform classification shared between nations. It's been pretty loose since the day of the sail ened. Hell, even with in a nation's own navy their is inconsistency and debate. Though, onto the LCS, it overlaps with some of the corvette's function, but was a from the ground up concept that heavily focused on modularity and mission specific loadouts. In theory, you could have it set up to focus on general patrol (like a corvette) or up arm it to be an anti surface ship role. In practice, this modularity was not so flexible, and requires extensive retooling. The corvette in general is a patrol ship meant to stay near shore, compared to a frigate which is an escort vessel meant to travel with the fleet. The LCS was going to be something in between, but failed to live up to expectations, and ended up being more or less just overpriced corvette with slightly better anti ship capability (thanks to after the fact upgrades).

This is USN based. In the UK, the Royal Navy's last Cruisers, were HMS Tiger, Lion and Blake. Meeting the over 10,000 tonnes Washington 1922 treaty classification and fitted with, Twin 6 inch Main Cannons (152.4mm). Tiger & Blake were modified in 1964, with there rear armament replace with a large Helicopter Hangar and Flight Deck, capable of carrying 4 Westland Wessex (UK built and further developed Sikorsky S-58 / H-34 Choctaw/ Seabat / Seahorse, with Napier Gazelle or De Havilland Gnome Turboshaft engines) Anti Submarine Helicopters. Later these were replaced by 3 Westland Sea King (UK built and further developed Sikorsky S-61/ SH-3 Sea King). Experience with these led to the purchase of the 3 Invincible Class Through Deck Cruisers (Politicians and Civil Servants hate to admit they have made a mistake), and they would not be called Carriers until HMS Invincible was launched. Then they were known as Anti Submarine Helicopter Carriers. The Sea Harrier order, wasn't placed until really late 1975. Even then, the RAF, Civil Service and retired Navy officers looked down on them, as nothing more than "Toy Aeroplanes". It was hoped that the US Navy's new Sea Command Ships (None were ever built, but the USA paid for Spain to build the design "Principe de Asturias" and helped with Thailand's "HTMS Chakri Naruebet"), that were to operate the supersonic "Rockwell XFV-12" but its advanced concept never achieved its hoped for capability and was cancelled. ***** Destroyer. Changed from being its original purpose of a fast vessel designed to Destroy Fast Motor Torpedo Boats, that attacked larger ships in the Cruiser, Battlecruiser and Battleship class. They are now classed as, Anti Air Warfare / Air Defence Vessels. With Advanced Radar (and other Sensors and secure Communications) and Surface to Air Missiles. Usually larger than a Frigate. ***** Frigate. Role has continually changed. But since WW2, when they were first equipped with Sonar and Depth Charges to hunt Submarines. They have since evolved into much more capable, Anti Submarine Warfare Vessels, but also with Main Cannon, CIWS, Anti Ship and SAM systems. However, their are also General Purpose Frigates, that don't feature the latest "Towed Array Sonar" systems. Such as the Type 31e - Babcock international Arrowhead 140. Which will only have a small 57mm Bofors main Cannon. **** Corvette. The last British Corvette was "HMS Oakham Castle" which decommissioned in 1950. If the old Vosper Thornycroft Type 21 Frigates, had been fitted with the 76mm OTO - Melara Cannon, rather than the Vickers Mk8 4.5 inch (114mm) then they would most likely have been classed as Corvettes. Corvettes are popular in the Baltic, Mediterranean, Arabian Gulf, Indian Ocean and South China Seas. They are usually the smallest ship commanded by someone with the rank of Captain. They tend to operate close to the coast, rather than in the deep water environment. Usually from a max of 3,500 tonnes, down to 600 tonnes in some cases. Length under 110 Metres. Rarely do they have a main Cannon greater than 76mm. Most have Anti-Ship missiles and short range SAM systems fitted. Usually fitted with an Helicopter Hangar and equipped with a smaller Helicopter like the Leonardo AW109 E Power or Eurocopter AS565 Panther. Equipped with RHIB / Fast Sea Boats. Sometimes with a rear ramp recovery conveyor belt. Used for Stop Search and Seizure of Smuggling and Piracy. Or deployment of troops / insertion of Special Forces / Divers. Now seen as the best vessel to take on Iranian and PRC Fast Attack Boats equipped with Anti Ship Missiles, as part of protecting a larger Carrier Battle Group. Many would class the Littoral Combat Ships, as Corvettes. However, if they don't have the Speed or the Missile Systems, they are usually called Offshore Patrol Vessels.

The USN’s interest in LCSs has significantly declined. They are cutting the numbers and retiring early hulls. The Navy seemingly has shifted preference to the frigate with the Constellation class frigate program. Which makes sense as LCSs have underperformed on their promises, and the USN is shifting back to a near-peer focus ( *cough* China *cough* )

[@chance6245]

Only the Freedom class has failed. The Independence class has a continuous in the South China Station and has a higher availability rating that the DDG.

[@cragnamorra]

I perceive the primary way in which LCS has "underperformed on its promises" isn't so much in a warfare capability sense, but rather that they've just wound up costing a lot more than originally intended. This happens with many platforms and weapon systems, of course, but LCS in particular was supposed to be a relatively cheap option for lower/middle-range missions that didn't necessarily require the high-tech/high-cost (or that could be done by the deeper-draft) CGs/DDGs. The USN, whether actually using the term or not, has long sought a satisfactory "high-low" mix of warships in terms of tech, capability, and cost, decades prior to LCS. We've largely done pretty well on the "high" end (carriers, Aegis CG/DDGs, etc), but have often struggled more with getting the "low" bit right. Perry-class frigates did become a successful, numerous, and heavily-used class, but even they had issues, particularly with manning. Their original manning concept eventually had to be abandoned in favor of larger (therefore more costly) crews. MCM/MHC mine-warfare ships were a, um, "less-than-wholly-successful" program, for a whole host of material, organizational, and logistic reasons. I don't know much about the upcoming Constellation-class, but I hope the USN thinks back to these earlier programs and tries to avoid some of their pitfalls.

[@jayjay53313]

@@chance6245 LCS is suited for defensive rather than offensive operations. US Navy is more towards offensive rather than defensive therefore the LCS requirement is less relevant. Also since that US has highest funding, they don't need frigates neither which is considered poor man's ship for offensive operations usually applies to countries that can't really afford destroyers. Like cars segments A (compact), B (sub compact), C (small), D (mid size), F (large full size) getting bigger by today's standard, the same applies to ships categories displacement with cruiser (>9000 tonnes), destroyer (7000 tonnes), frigate (4,000-5,000 tonnes), LCS (3000 tonnes) then the 1000 tonnes corvette followed by gunboats. By right the length for cruiser, destroyer & frigate varies much but due to US shipbuilders cost saving, they came up with universal hull shared by the 3. Refer Russian & Chinese ships that don't share hull platform for clearer picture on Slava & Type 55 cruisers, Udaloy & Type 52D destroyers, krivak & type 054 frigates on the length & displacement. In terms of armaments, the larger the ship, the more sensors equipment, CIWS, VLS, ammo storage & crew it carries. Rich countries get more cruisers & destroyers, moderate countries would get more destroyers & frigates while poorer or smaller countries get few frigates & more corvettes, gunboats. If a country at war with nearby neighbors, the LCS would be useful for being smaller, agile and comes with good CIWS, medium & short range SAM, AESA radar, anti-ship missiles, land attack missiles, anti-submarine sonar, ASW, etc.

[@mrvwbug4423]

The LCS lacks any serious firepower, they were designed to pick off terrorists and conduct recon not win naval engagements, the stealth and speed is there to help them avoid naval engagements. What Taiwan needs is a metric fuckton of anti-ship missiles and air/missile defenses, enough to hold the PLA off long enough for US intervention to arrive.

Basically almost everything about the LCS has failed. The mission modules have suffered numerous problems and cost overruns. Swapping the modules out was supposed to take a few hours but instead takes several days. Both the Freedom and Independence have suffered several mechanical failures. The number of ships has been reduced from 52 down to around 32. In response to these failures the US Navy instead sourced a new frigate, the Constellation Class to make up for these short comings.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Yup, the LCS was designed for counter-terrorism, not fighting the Chinese navy. Though it is subbornly difficult for the Chinese to track, LCSs have made several infiltrations deep into the South China sea far closer to Chinese territory than our normal warships will go, problem is the LCS has little in the way of offensive firepower to capitalize on that stealth.

That is an excellent idea, a lightly manned or even unmanned missile carrier that just has a massive load of missile launchers, have the carrier or destroyers control them remotely, make them cheap and plentiful. The main strategy that China and Russia would use against CVBGs is oversaturation of the destroyers air and missile defense, basically shower them with more anti-ship missiles than the destroyers can shoot down or at least until the destroyers run out of missiles.

Corvettes are a littoral defense ship, generally slower than fleet ships but usually well armed for their size. The LCS is a type of corvette, but trades firepower for stealth and a LOT of speed (LCS is much faster than a traditional corvette). Problem is the LCS role is unclear. It's main offensive capability is in the form of drones, and current US drones are mostly intended to pick off terrorists not take on the Chinese navy.

The distinction between classes of vessels is more obscure with the advent of anti-ship missiles, advanced electronics and radar, aviation assets and drones and the reduction in naval gun calibers. The US Ticonderoga class Cruiser and the Burke class Destroyers are so close in dimensions and weaponry as to be the same ships. The Chinese builds Cruisers and calls them Destroyers. The Russians literally jam pack Corvettes and Frigates with enough missiles to call them Destroyers. The Europeans are so fond of their hybrids...no one really knows how to classify them. So we're at that point were labels like Cruiser, Destroyer, Frigate, etc., etc., etc....have lost any real meaning.

@@DensityMatrix1 I did read the report apparently you didn't. They said the reason it got so bad was because of the lack of crew. I also like how you have ignored all the other combat incidents and much worse accidents that show the USA has very good damage control. You also sound insanely paranoid no enime is getting on to a ship during the event of a war and most ships are attacked at sea during combat

@@kameronjones7139 Incorrect. Quotes from the report. Equipment didnt' work - "To illustrate the extent of degradation, on the morning of the fire, 87% of the ship’s fire stations remained in inactive equipment maintenance status." Crew wasn't ready - "The training and readiness of Ship’s Force was marked by a pattern of failed drills, minimal crew participation, an absence of basic knowledge on firefighting in an industrial environment," Leadership - " Ineffective oversight by the cognizant Commanders across various organizations permitted their subordinates to take unmitigated risk in fire preparedness." Accountability and Leadership.

When I started to watch this video, I thought it would be useful, but first 7 minutes of this video are useless. Place the last minute of the video at start, and then explain each ship class. With several countrys ships examples.

LCS- Literally crap ships. Frigates are coming back.

Is submarine a ship? 🤓

[@kinstonGulane101]

submarines are technically ships.

[@victoriaregina8344]

Meh, what used to be called a destroyer in the vietnam war wouldn't even count as a frigate these days. Look up charles f adam class and compare it against a Lafayette class 🤣

[@TribusMontibus]

The difference is academic. I have just uploaded the 'Why is it a Frigate'-video to my channel. It's a bit long, but explains exactly how and when all the destroyer/frigate confusion started. It's simply a difference in naval culture.
