Good bye ships

[Happy Hoosier]

9. It's not always that easy....

These projects have a very long developmental cycle and likely the Navy was trying to balance the need to have ships available in the fleet against the risk that the ships could not be improved sufficiently.

As it is, the production runs were drastically cut as it became obvious the ships were fundamentally flawed. Follow-on ship classes will be coming online soon that do not suck and can accommodate the mission. So the crappy ships can go. And expensive mistake.

So the Freedom class has had the roughest time and it's going first. The Intendance class ships will stick arounf longer, last I heard. But I think both classes are not long for the Fleet.
