The U.S. Navy's Troubled Littoral Combat Ship Program

[@victoroscar35]

Recently the Littoral ships deck guns were found to have non standardized weapons that they were not compatible with NATO weapons of the same model.

Your tax dollars at work. A good thing we have news organizations like Propublica to keep an eye on stories like this.

When do they have a meeting of the minds? Some may say, what minds? Congress is too busy constantly running for office. 😢

Been meaning to update Wikipedia LCS article

These are being built 1 hour away from where i live. The ship yard that built them, Marinette Marine, didnt care at all about quailty. I know alot of people that worked on those ships and mamagement didnt care, they wouldnt check this properly. And when they found huge mistakes, they just let them slide so tbey would save money from not having to redue it. Im surprised no one was killed making those.

Wondering about the role of inspectors general, whistleblowers and bounties

I'll look for Mr. Sapien's article and give it some attention for comprehension. This subject is too complex (and important) to be subject to the vagaries of microphone set-ups and poor speaking habits. I have noted that Media is a bit late to this discussion compared to very small specialty publications.

Follow the money . How many retired Navy Officers and technicans ended up making bank working on these crappy ships? They don't operate as designed ever!

[@crazygame2724]

I sure hope the F35 doesn' t fail like these crappy ships.

Bruh, I got some bad news for you... for evey f35 that van fly 2 can't and are being used for parts. And the price for new parts should be criminal. That program will go down as one of the worst, most corrupt military contract.

It’s called Money Laundering.
