On USS Sioux City decommissioned, to be given to Saudis
Weeks ago the us navy decommissioned the USS Sioux City LCS-11 FFG in preparation to be sold, along with other ships of the class, to Saudi Arabia
I should point out that I was invited aboard that ship on my 41st birthday and I know firsthand the deficiencies of that ship, contrary to american propaganda
This is a risky deal, for the Saudis to make this deal with america will dangerously augment their forces, as LCS-11 and others of the class are tricky to operate, and the propulsors and stern multirole well are glaring weaknesses that can be exploited. A provocative deal indeed.
