Heres another post i made on the aforementioned site about the C3 proposal:
"Indeed. I have always said it - there is no point in having big ships do "routine work". It's just a waste of resources - the C-3 could help ensure there are more large escorts available for important work."
That is important but I also think the time is past for dedicated Mine Warfare ships. Maybe even dedicated ships for any of the more mundane yet very important collateral tasks of a navy.
Some say eight is not enough and sixteen are really required
But Im not convinced that a 2000 to ship is big enough for proper seakeeping and all-weather sustained helo ops in the patrol role.
Although Im not sure the USNs LCS is the way to go either.
