Now that both NSM and Harpoons have been fired from an LCS I wonder where the naysayers will move the goalpost to next.
>>
>>30749567
Because the main problem people had with the LCS was that it couldn't fire Harpoons, right?
>>
>>30750661
Move goalpost moar. There is no problem with the project.

Generally yes.

>>30749412
What the LCS really needs is a torpedo launcher.

?
The LCS was always easily able to fire harpoons.
It's just a quick installation.

>>30751692
That's what the critics don't understand.
>>
>>30751700
Mmmno, its just never been the thing they've criticized. Its far from the largest complaint.
>>30750661
Stop using terms you don't understand.
>>
>>30749412
Non navyfag here why Is it the ships fault?
>>
>>30753895
From the sounds of it the ship stopped feeding targeting information.
But at 20nmi, I would have expected terminal homing on the Harpoon to take over very quickly.
Problem likely lies with the missile itself.
