The littoral combat ship (LCS) is a class of relatively small surface vessels intended for operations in the littoral zone (close to shore) by the United States Navy. It was "envisioned to be a networked, agile, stealthy surface combatant capable of defeating anti-access and asymmetric threats in the littorals."

Smaller. It's about the same length as the older DDs. My old DD-781 was 377 feet long and weighed in at 2,235 tons. The DL (frigate) that I served on was 564 feet long and weighed in at 9,150 tons. But then it had two nuclear reactors.

I still can't get used to the new naming convention. Yeah, I'm old school and don't like it. But then, no one asked my opinion.

It's smaller than the frigate I served on, which was originally a destroyer escort.

Seems like a dumb design.

Too big for littoral/coastal waters, not enough combat capabilities for blue water use.

I was on a Spru-can DD-974. 363 ft 3 & 13/16th inches. (Missed it on an oral board.)

We had Tomahawk, Harpoon, Sea sparrows, 5 inch guns, torpedoes, & ASROC/SUBROC. We were considered limited in capability outside o anti-submarine work.

Our ship could & did do 47 knots leaving REFTRA in GITMO. Hydro-static foils are way faster & better suited for littoral work.

Little larger than 3500 tons.


Looks huge in the video, but small by US Navy standards. 45 knots, though.
