Show Notes

In the early 2000's the Littoral Combat Ship looked like the future for the US Navy: small, relatively inexpensive, and designed for 'brown-water' operations close to shore. But it soon became ever more apparent that the LCS was not able to survive in the modern naval environment, and so in the face of a growing Chinese navy the USN has decided to retire some three dozen of what many of their crews referred to as the Little Crappy Ships. Their replacement, while little, does not seem to be very crappy at all. Join our elite squad of anti-elitists by becoming a Citizen Producer today: https://billwhittle.com/register/
