On 10 May 2022, it was reported that six of the Navy’s fleet of 13 Independence class LCS suffered from hull cracks above the waterline where the deck plate and shell plate join. The cracks may develop if the ships travel faster than 15 knots in seas with maximum wave heights of about eight feet.
Don’t forget the “fast attack” ships that cost twice what they were bid at, and have hulls that crack when you exceed a slow crawl.
