U.S. Shifting Military Forces Closer to China The article isn't too bad, but it includes an image labeled "Littoral Combat Ship" and in this image there is exactly one ship. That ship is clearly marked "HSV 2". The HSV-2 Swift is not a LCS. The Navy used to have a factsheet that compared JHSV vs. LCS, but The Swift isn't a JHSV either. The JHSV design arose out of operations involving The Swift, so it is a lot closer to being a JHSV than it is to being a LCS. -HJC
