If you want to know what the Navy was/is really planning look up the DDG(X).
A destroyer planned since 2021, hopefully it won't be another Ticonderoga class fuck up.
- ianburrell 10mo agoThe Navy also needs the Constellation class frigate. The proposed replacement based on the Legend class cutter. It is basically a corvette like LCS on a bigger hull. The Navy doesn't need more corvette, they need proper warships. Red Sea shows that ships need more defenses now that anyone can build anti-ship missiles and drones. Maybe they should have called Constellation light destroyer and DDG(X) a cruiser.
- Amezarak 10mo agoWhat the Red Sea has shown is that drone and anti-ship missiles are massively overhyped. A 40 year old ship design has fended off hundreds of such attacks without losing a single ship. Without even taking a single hit. > The Navy also needs the Constellation class frigate. The Navy needs ships it can actually build, the Constellation is trapped in an unending design hell and is already years behind.
