SH 60 r's,Surtass LFA's and the like.LoL the Blue water navy is important but I seriously don't see a credible blue water threat anytime soon and the Virginia is versatile enough for both blue and brown water.
LCS is great but we should pay a little more attention to those Virginia's.

true, but the US Navy needs more brown water naval craft, aka littoral combat ships
