I heard about this earlier. The Constellation class was supposed to be the pragmatic fix to other failed over-engineered LCS ships the US wasted billions on, but it got cancelled itself because of how poor the state of US ship building is.

The LCS with a single gun and then ammo costing 1 billion USD (with a „b“) will always be a hilarious example of MIC grift.
