Taiwan plans to buy decommissioned US Navy's Littoral Combat Ships

According to information published by Taiwan News on April 11, 2022, Taiwan may consider purchasing decommissioned U.S. Navy littoral combat ships (LCS), Vice Defense Minister Alex Po said. [...] The littoral combat ship (LCS) is a set of two classes of relatively small surface vessels designed for operations near shore by the United States Navy. It was "envisioned to be a networked, agile, stealthy surface combatant capable of defeating anti-access and asymmetric threats in the littorals." Littoral combat ships are comparable to corvettes found in other navies. The Freedom class and the Independence-class are the first two LCS variants.
