I agree, I would rather see a warship named for a fighting Sailor over one named for a politician any day.
In the truest sense of the word I think the LCS could be classed as a frigate. Not every navy mission requires you to be chained to a carrier and coastal work will be needed, small boys dealt with, and maybe even small raids. That said, they will have to lose their "LCS stink."
Would need to have a missile and a way to guide it.LCG - Littoral Corvette, Guided-missile
Easy day. Next question.
Norwegian NSM (RGM-184A)
also Hellfire (AGM-114L) as ASuW capability but I can see how that wouldn’t count
Not really the same.
The G generally implies an advanced level of integration of ship, missiles, sensors, and associated combat systems, eg AEGIS. Also it seems that the G also tends to align with AW capability.
Alright. Not falling on my sword for this one. Then let's name it an "LC" for "Littoral Corvette" and call it a day.
Yes. It's bigger than a bread box and somewhere within CONUS.
If you seriously want to know, I can shoot you an e-mail with details.
Depends. Most warships these days are delineated based upon length or tonnage. Being under 400 feet long puts the LCS in the corvette range which isn't a bad thing. We need small ships to handle all of the missions we do that aren't doing ASW or protecting the carrier. A corvette would be perfect for that role. Unfortunately, many of the proposed weapons systems that were supposed to be installed on the LCS either never panned out, got canceled, or are decades away from viability.

The NATO standard designation for corvettes is FFL. Or call it a Light Frigate, if Chevy is going to get testy about copyrights.
I’m just glad they dropped the idea to name it Agility. Bad enough without naming it after EMBA buzzwords.
At this point we should prob just call it FFS.

Someone else already said...also the RTN webpage lists it out. Always good to know where there are other high demand, low density assets. I spent a few months scouring the states for time in an anechoic facility and never knew this was out there. Eventually my good looks and winning personality got me time in the Pax chamber.Yes.

You can delineate capabilities via belt colors.
