We Are The Mighty: This is the Navy's newest combat ship
On November 17, 2018, the Navy will officially commission the USS Sioux City, the newest littoral combat ship. It's a quick and lethal addition to the fleet that can carry missiles, helicopters, and mines, despite being one of the smaller commissioned ships the U.S. Navy has.
The Sioux City is a Freedom variant of the LCS, and it carries a 57mm gun, Rolling Airframe Missiles, .50-cal. machine guns, and the ALEX decoy system by default. The Sioux City also has a Mk. 50 torpedo, a lightweight torpedo that's great for hitting fast-moving and deep-diving submarines.
The 57mm Bofors gun can fire airburst or conventional rounds at up to 4 rounds per second, shredding small boats or attackers on shore. The RAM allows the ship to engage anti-ship missiles, aircraft, and surface vessels and can even track and engage multiple targets at once. And the ALEX decoy allows the ship to create a massive radar signature to spoof missiles heading at the LCS or a fleet that it's supporting.

LCS is singular as a failure. 10 years since entering service and it isn’t fit for operational duties and didn’t deploy at all in 2018. 10 years into production it doesn’t have any weapons to defend itself from smaller ships armed with weapons ranging 10 miles or more.
By the way, this version of LCS doesn’t get a decent over the horizon weapon system til LCS 27.
