USS Freedom : The coolest thing you'll see today

Seems like a sitting duck for a Lada-type submarine.

Of course, they can fit it out with sonar.
But then they'd have to sacrifice the assault capability.
So you can kill subs if you're expecting them, but that's the whole point of littoral subs.

Reminds me of the emphasis placed on the gun armament for the Zumwalt class. Seemed a little strange to focus on shore bombardment so much, especially when you don't want to risk a big ship like that so close in.
And wouldnt the Army be doing most of it's fighting inland?
