Bob Work just walked into #SAS12 and decided to start a big discussion on LCS, among other topics. There was a lot of good information discussed - I have 6 pages of notes which will take forever to go through. Get ready for LCS news saturation, because I got the impression Bob intended on kick start a public debate by boiling water on a lot of issues - and specifically LCS. It was very refreshing to see the raw passion about the current direction of the Navy, it is unclear why we don't see that raw emotion from uniformed Navy leaders, but it does inspire.
CDR Salamander, call your office, pretty sure the UNDER decided to kick sand your direction on LCS when he all but shouted the LCS will "kick their ass" when discussing small boats and LCS "will escort logistics ships." There is so much more...
Worth noting, Robby Harris asked about the blog discussion regarding ship counting rules, and Bob Work made clear the PCs and AHs are not in the new 300 ship plan, then he discussed that a bit. I have been in discussion with folks on this topic offline and will discuss this topic in the very near future. Bob Work said "there is no subterfuge." That's the right word, but I'll let others decide if there is a shell game at work.
Those of you who enjoy flaming me for getting something wrong (like the PCs and AHs) will soon have a chance to gloat. I look forward to it.
