In a significant move, the U.S. Navy has announced the cancellation of its Constellation-class frigate program, which includes scrapping plans for four ships that were under contract and halting work on two partially constructed vessels. This decision reflects a broader strategic shift within the Navy to address escalating costs and delays associated with the program. The cancellation is expected to impact shipbuilding in Wisconsin, prompting criticism from local officials and concerns over job security. In light of this development, the Navy is now exploring faster procurement options for alternative warships while maintaining support for the remaining two frigates still under construction by Fincantieri Marine Group. The decision has raised questions about U.S. naval superiority and the future of naval combat strategies.
