Pentagon's Director of Operational Testing and Evaluation Reports on Littoral Combat Ship

As anyone who follows the Littoral Combat Ship is quite aware by now, the Pentagon Director of Operational Testing and Evaluation (DOT&E) has once again taken the LCS program to task for problems with both the ships and the mission module packages as well as the related equipment.

Reading through the DOT&E report, I was struck by a few things as someone who has been granted some unique access to LCS ships, modules and officials both in the U.S. and abroad over the past couple of years.


Buried at the bottom it basically says the Independence class has no data as to whether or not it will work for its mission.  As bad as things are for the Freedom, at least there's some idea of what's going on.  oy.
