“We have 24 deployments planned between ‘19 and ‘24, and so really ‘18 is a reset year to get maintenance and manning in place so that we can deploy these in a sustainable fashion.”

We shall see about the LCS deployment seems optimistic to me the ADL looks promising to me the only missile in the LCS OTH competition is the NSM so that should be a no brainer also maybe the ADL could go on the LCS also if it works as advertised

"The LCS’s over-the-horizon missile competition is still ongoing, with a contract award expected in the third quarter of this fiscal year ..." ()
revolution in naval warfare indeed: UNARMED TRASH BEING COMMISSIONED BY DOZENS
In name only the harpoon and LRASM and RBS 15 have all been withdrawn so that only leaves NSM but it' Kind a a moot point what they decide because LCS stays in port awaiting or receiving maintenance all the time might as well just use the winner of the OTH competition on land instead of LCS

pretty interesting part of
HASC Subcommittee Marks Recommend Additional Navy Ship Buys, Multi-Year Aircraft Deals
:
"On the upcoming frigate program, which will follow the LCS and fill the small surface combatant requirement starting in FY 2020, the subcommittee would require the Navy to ensure it has the technical data rights for whichever design it picks – five companies are participating in a design maturation effort now and are expected to compete for the detail design and construction contract in 2020 – so that ultimately the Navy could conduct a full and open competition for the ship after the first 10 frigates are built.
A staffer explained that the committee wasn’t trying to force the Navy’s hand, especially since the Navy has not yet released an acquisition strategy for the frigate. However, the second staffer said the two LCS designs were largely proprietary, whereas the Navy owned the technical data rights to the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, which were designed by one yard and now built by two others. Given the fragility of the shipbuilding industrial base now, the staffer said it was important for the Navy to own the design so it could recompete the ship down the line or add a second builder as needed to meet its needs and that of the industrial base."

In other words the foreign competition has to give up everything to win the competition doesn't sound real good to me but you never tell stranger things have happened
Or are they just talking about where the US frigates are built at in that case the Fremm and the f100 designs are very very strong competition and LCS crap is toast really hope that is the case

while The Pentagon is poised to send the LCS to thwart narcos
Been saying this for years havent I just got To figure out how to get them away from their comfort zone in port use every 1 of them in this role that way you may get 4-5 ships out on patrol at one time
