USS Independence
The Littoral Combat Ship program of the USN had been the target of critics since it started. I
personally think that these ships are excellent. Critics argue that it doesn’t carry AShMs and long
range SAMs. But that’s not what it’s designed to do. The Tico and Burke take care of that part .
It does all these with great efficiency. It’s design and technology is superior to any comparable
ship. But still, it is criticized because of cost overruns. That’s its only drawback. It went beyond
its intended budget. But otherwise, it’s very capable.It’s mission packages are fitted according to
mission requirements to engage the above-mentioned threats.
LCS is extremely important for USN because it does something what Burke and Tico can’t. Its
high speed gives it a big advantage. True, it can’t survive an attack by supersonic AShM swarms.
But it will be escorted by Burke when operating in a high threat environment. So it just needs
basic self-defense.

Exactly. Stereguschy and LCS have different roles even though they have similar displacement.
Stereguschy can’t carry 2 helicopters, can’t sweep mines , and can’t travel at 45+ knots and it doesn’t
have a fraction of the internal space for cargo, mission packages etc . LCS does all that because it
was designed to do that. Not to carry Anti ship missiles like Stereguschy and serve as a major
surface combatant.

American policy is to destroy tiny boats with the LCS. Not actual warships like the Houbei class
FAC.

So we are talking about destroying Pirate skiff, and patrol boat. Spending 360 Million per vessel to
squash some cockroaches.
