Far and away the most cost-effective way to purchase printed versions of crucial documents about the Littoral Combat Ship, the U.S. Navy's "torpedo boat destroyer" for the 21st century. These 3,600-ton ships, like the destroyers introduced at the beginning of the 20th century, are intended to defeat fast attack craft and other "littoral" threats. This 1,016-page omnibus edition contains GAO reports about LCS from August and February 2010; a CRS report from June 2010; key Congressional testimony and colloquoy from the Armed Services Committee; and postgraduate theses on LCS capabilities, strategy, manpower, risk management, logistics, and technology. An indispensable reference for anyone interested in contemporary naval strategy or the history of torpedo boats and destroyers.
