The Independence Class Littoral Combat Ship

The US Navy launched a new high-tech fighter plane. It is fast, versatile, and fatal. An independent class Coastal Battle Ship (LCS) was developed to combat a new type of naval battle in coastal waters. With the establishment of this coastal warship, a new water vessel called DD (X) was born (O'Rourke, 2013). The modern stand-alone LCS design is made of aluminum, it reduces the weight of the ship and sets the displacement to about 10 feet, so it is effective even in shallow waters.

Of course, the Navy needs many other ships, some of which are controversial. Littaral Combat Ships (LCS) was once known as "a ship of the future", but there are two versions of Freedom class and standalone class for operations close to land. Unfortunately, that price ($ 6.7 billion each) is widely appealing the lack of firepower and vulnerability. Perhaps for the business in the South China Sea, there are four expected in Singapore by 2018. It is said that the overall order has decreased from 52 to 32.

The Expanding Fleet Navy invested $ 23.8 billion in the main shipbuilding plan and started extending the fleet to 355 vessels. In 2018, the budget bought 13 ships, including one aircraft carriers, three ships, two submarines, two destroyers, one amphibious assault ship and four auxiliary ships. These investments will encourage industrial investment to support stable and efficient defense industrial infrastructure, improve capital, expand capital and build worldwide labor force of the appropriate scale.

Destroyers and cruisers as major battleships - ships carrying various sensors and weapons - are totally different policy measures for Washington and not light battleship battleships. For Beijing, the ability and determination of America and Vietnam will also have different views. Finally, what would you do with an American ship in Hanoi if you are stationed in Cam Lan Bay? Forty years from the conclusion of the Vietnam War, it is a small movement to welcome the original enemies to return to the territory of Vietnam. Will the two navies conduct joint patrols on controversial big hits? Will their Coast Guard form a joint power to regulate Vietnamese waters? Or will Hanoi permit US commanders to freeze in Washington?

In 2014, Secretary of Defense Secretary Chuck Hegel initially planned to buy 52 endangered battle ships built for battle in shallow coastal waters, and the effectiveness and vulnerability of the battle in battle. Later he approved the navy's proposal to purchase 20 renovation ships to improve armor, sensors and weapons since 2019. In 2005, the Navy used $ 109 million to purchase the first eight drones, spare parts and logistics services from Lockheed. The drone should have completed the battle test in September this year and announced preparation for the battle. Lockheed will add over $ 700 million to the remaining 46 drone orders. This will include $ 400 million of the next order that Kendall will review in February.
