Sure, but weapons aren't the only thing. It needs to be survivable which doesn't necessarily mean armor or solid steel and kevlar. It needs systems for damage control, redundancy in utilities, power distribution, and a crew that can use these systems. So far they don't have it and adding some more weapons won't change that.
I did read somewhere though I can't find the article now, that Lockheed claims they can retrofit survivability changes to it. Haven't read anything about the
General Dynamics LCS though. If you have to go thru all that trouble, just kill it now and invest in the patrol frigate. Huge percentage of the design is already done and paid for since it's basically the USCG national security cutter.
