The FFGx (Constellation) project is a mess. I'm working my way through this report this weekend and will have an update for you next week. Send beer.

Wow. I thought one of the main drivers of this project was to not LCS it up by avoiding loading it down with unproven technologies and building off a proven platform. This was supposed to be an easy win.

JAWS is the soundtrack to listen to while reading this

I'm afraid it was never going to happen. DoD has seldom had the discipline to buy something off the shelf without farting around with it.

A drastic redesign is just as lengthy as a new design. If the Navy wants unique designs, they had better get started years before they did redesigning the FREMM frigate.

The incompetence alarming. Anybody taking bets on how over budget this program will be after the delays?

This all reminds me of "more haste" less speed, this was supposed to be an off the shelf design ready to go. If they wanted bespoke they should just have done it bespoke at least with a clean sheet there would have been less to adapt work around....
