==
Littoral combat #ships were supposed to launch the #Navy into the future. Instead they broke down across the globe and many of their #weapons never worked.
Now the Navy is getting rid of them. One is less than five years old.

No strategy debate at all, really. #DefenseBudget #DefenseSpending #Pentagon #NDAA #MerryChristmasToThePentagon
