You all prefer this crap than the health of Americans? Brilliant!Whoops, Turns Out the Navy’s $37 Billion Boat Is a Death Trap Hamilton Nolan Bloomberg reports . But minor problems like those can be fixed by the usual US military method of papering over the cracks with hundred-dollar bills, then sealing them all together with a glue made of melted Yemeni civilians. What's harder to accept are these new reports that the Littoral Combat Ships, which have cost the American taxpayer $37 billion, are basically f loating death traps : Nothing has haunted the LCS more than the perception that both variants are too lightly armed and may not survive an enemy attack. The Pentagon's chief weapons tester has cited flaws with the ship's guns and concluded that its helicopter isn't powerful enough to tow mine-hunting equipment. Haha, the United States Navy has spent $37 billion building a military boat and it turns out it doesn't have enough guns . Well, shit. I mean, it's a boat. Who would anticipate someone shooting at it? That's crazy.link
