Well, they should at least produce the first GD variant so they can experiment with one of each of the original LCS designs.
Maybe they'll rethink the desire for speed and go with a safer (and presumably less risky), more conventional monohull.
Maybe have a hi-lo fleet of LCSs consisting of the GD design (assuming it survives) and something significantly cheaper. Perhaps sharing a design with the USCG - maybe the OPC and/or FRC.
Maybe we need to consider a range of vessels with different characteristics and price points, instead of one or two types.
