Now that the CDC's incompetence has been exposed by a source of impeccable veracity, the New York Times, I'm moving on to the U.S. Navy. Do you have a favorite federal agency you think unimpeachable? Let me know.
Now straight ahead, with apologies to Bob Grant, to the Navy's LCS program.
"The Freedom and Independence variant of the Littoral Combat Ship is the U.S. Navy's newest warship and is a fast, agile, focused-mission platform designed for operation in near-shore environments yet capable of open-ocean operation."
That's a lot of bull shit in one paragraph. That is someone's wet dream of what is now a stellar example of incompetence.

"The first four LCS ships, which were built with R&D funds and which lack bug fixes made to later vessels, will not deploy overseas except in times of crisis. They become dedicated test ships and stay in home waters to try out systems like the evolving anti-submarine and mine-sweeping modules.
The other two dozen vessels already in service or on contract — LCS-5 through LCS-28 — will be deployed, crewed, and based according to a new scheme that jettisons the ship’s once-highly-touted innovations. Gone are radical concepts such as moving LCS crews and mission modules from ship to ship to ship."

" The U.S. Navy has unveiled plans to retire the first four Littoral Combat Ships, the youngest of which is only six years old.
The LCS program has been problematic for more than a decade, with the lightly armed ships coming in over budget and with technical problems.
The entire LCS fleet could eventually go on the chopping block as a new class of frigates comes online in the mid 2020s.
The U.S. Navy wants to retire four ships of the controversial Littoral Combat Ship class, including one ship that is just six years old. The four ships all have at least 10, if not 20 years of service in them but are currently non-deployable test ships not rated for combat. It’s unclear why the Navy wants to dump them when at the same time it is trying to reach a fleet of 355 ships by 2030."

Re: Next up for incompetence the US Navy.
Darren, I'm going to take away your ability to start new threads, if you do not stop flooding us with a new topic every time you pick up "Bigots Gazette", or wherever you poach this crap from.
Try keeping all your crap in one thread please.

Gob, it's a start.
Unfortunately, compliance will marginalize Darren's screed and will surely make him appear less significant, mostly to himself.
He loves the sound of cutting and pasting.
