All - I have a great piece up at RS today from Dan Grazier who is now at the Stimson Center. He writes how the Navy is stretched thin fighting the Houthis in the Red Sea, in part because the ships that were supposed to be the "networked, agile, stealthy surface combatant capable of defeating anti-access and asymmetric threats in the littorals” — the LCS — never came through after billions in resources spent and contractor promises. Please read. This is how 'boondoggle' becomes dangerous for the U.S. military,
