Northrop warship gets failing combat grade

A US$1 billion-plus warship developed by Northrop Grumman Corp is ineffective and unsuitable for combat, according to the Pentagon, dealing a blow to the company as it looks to sell its shipbuilding unit.


Michael Gilmore, the Pentagon's top weapons tester, assessed the LPD-17 amphibious warfare ship as being "not effective, not suitable, and not survivable in a combat situation," a Defense Department spokeswoman said.
Defence Secretary Robert Gates has repeatedly questioned the future of such forcible U.S. landings, "especially as advances in anti-ship systems keep pushing the potential launch point further from shore," as he put it in May.


OK, so they won't work for us........

It gets better...


The first three ships of the class - San Antonio, New Orleans and Mesa Verde - have successfully completed overseas deployments, the Navy said.
 
WTF????

The Navy's current five-year shipbuilding plan calls for buying an 11th and final LPD-17 in fiscal 2012, which starts Oct. 1, 2011, but Congress has not approved this.

The Navy estimates the price tag of the 11th ship at just over US$2 billion, according to an Oct. 4 report by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.
