LCS sort of followed the patern described in the "Pentagon wars" comedy film for Bradley - they were warping the original desighn with features and grew a monster. The original desighn may have been sensible, but not after changes that were contradicting it's core intent were introduced.

Now they are trying to turn it into a working Frigate.

In my opinion USN may be interested in getting conventional FFGs instead.
