All 9 of them. Plus another 7 ships before any of their Service Lives expire. And another 8 ships as well.

Sounds like Taiwan is interested in purchasing the Littorals. So Muppethead Word Salad with probably give them all to The Taliban, or Putin.

Also, did anybody notice that Creepy Joe wants to install a bunch of nuclear reactors on military bases?

Why the U.S. Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship Failed

“It has been a rough 13 years since the navy commissioned the U.S.S. Independence, the first LCS. After years of underwhelming performance and corrosion issues in 2011 that were making the ship’s hull disintegrate, the navy decided to moth-ball the Independence in July. It had endured numerous cost overruns and delays. Another LCS, the Freedom, was decommissioned at the end of September. As more Littoral Combat Ships came online, more problems cropped up. In 2015, one had to be towed back to port after mechanical issues. In the same year, yet another had to be sent back to port. There were engine and propulsion concerns that lead to mounting frustration. The navy had enough by January 2021 and stopped all new deliveries.

More Designs More Problems

To make the acquisition program more confusing, the LCS has two different designs from two different defense contractors. The Freedom-class has a monohull design and the Independence-class has an aluminum trimaran layout. They cost about $360 million each. Both classes of ships had maintenance problems. Critics doubted their survivability in a shooting war. The engines did not work right.

One of the unique selling points of the ships was that different missions, such as anti-piracy and counter-terror, could be systematically swapped out. But that feature was ended after a myriad of difficulties. Then the navy tried adding the Naval Strike Missile to some LCS models. That looked to have potential, but the main issue was still keeping the LCS at sea rather than in port for repairs.“

Huh. Amazing what you can learn with 2 minutes of research.

Btw “give them to the Taliban” ? Where would they dock them? Afghanistan is land locked.

Biden* doesn't want anything except for ice cream and a nap.

If anybody is putting Biden*'s name on something it's just a bad idea at this point.

They've already got the bus ready. They're just loading as many bad decisions on Joe* as they can until they lure him out in front of it with the ice cream and tell him that it's nap time.

Libtard Logic Fail.

You are using Real World Logic and Geography. This does not comport with Libtard narratives and delusions. Libtard KKK have been notified and are en route to confiscate your Libtard Card.

So, an aluminum hull warship would have corrosion issues in seawater? whodathunk.

Unrelated: while driving by, I noticed that 3 ships were docked at the shipyard in Marinette, WI. Bouy barricades around them. One slot empty, couldnt tell if one was still in drydock there.
