U.S LCS warships can't fight? USS Coronado withdrawn, more to follow | Details

Decision to decommission Freedom-class LCSs based on assessment of 'war-fighting value'. The Freedom-class LCS has had its fair share of well-publicized mechanical failures. High-running costs; the warships lack the ability to field anti-submarine capabilities. Littoral Combat Ships operate in near-shore environments & counter coastal threats. The fast & agile U.S. Navy Littoral Combat Ships are capable of open-ocean operation.
