The US Navy spent billions on a program that many of its sailors derisively call: “the little crappy ship”.

The vision for littoral combat ships or LCSs was to propel the Navy into the future, but instead, they experienced widespread breakdowns worldwide, and many of their weapons systems never functioned as intended. As a result, the Navy is now phasing them out, including one that is less than five years old.

What went wrong and how come it took decades before the US Navy decided to jump ship and finally let this project sink?

Lets find out.
