		jonmayer on Oct 6, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: America Needs to Build More (and Better) Ships The jury is still out re: the efficacy of Kinzhal missiles. Ukraine reports it's been able to intercept them with old-fashion Patriot anti-missile systems. I agree with parts of the authors commentary, but I was disappointed that he didn't mention the LCS debacle as one of the reasons American shipbuilding is taking a beating.

LCS and Zumwalt debacles. Most of the surface ships the Navy has purchased in the past decade are essentially useless.
