Christopher Griffin and Dan Blumenthal are to be commended for their excellent article on the Littoral Combat Ship ["LCS: A solution for the Asia littoral," December]. They are correct in emphasizing the operational flexibility that will result from the modular approach to equipping the basic LCS sea frame. Equally important is the impact that modularity could have on naval sustainment.
