Show Notes

In 2016, the USS Detroit commander was on Veterans Radio talking about the new LCS ships and what great promise the design held.  Now in 2023, the Navy is scrapping most of the LCS fleet because of lack of effectiveness and maintenance costs.   Bryan Clark, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, talks to host Jim Fausone about the problems the LCS have and the costly boondoogle this platform became.  Clark gives his insight to the Chinese naval forces and what the US Navy is doing to counter the Chinese buildup.
