Build what has been ordered, including both DD(X) and all of the LCS hulls purchased to date that can be built affordably, and cancel everything else, including the CG(X).
I no longer have any faith in the LCS, and given the cost issues right now and the commercial issues surrounding the yards, the costs of the DD(X) and CG(X) represent slow death to the Navy without either a tremendous boost to the Navy budget or a new plan.
Since we know there will be no extra money in the budget, the new plan option is the best option.
