The purpose of this report is to validate the United States Navy's need for the Littoral Combat Ship to fulfill the Sea Power 21 naval strategy. The end of the Cold War shifted the maritime threat from the open-ocean to the littorals. Legacy warships designed for open-ocean operations are not well suited to operate in the littorals, thus the Navy must adjust its procurement to deal with emerging littoral threats. The Navy envisions having to operate in the littorals for the foreseeable future. The littorals demand a warship that is suited to operate in that environment and deal with the mine warfare, diesel submarines, and small craft surface threat. The ability to deal with these threats will enable the Navy to carry out the Sea Power 21 naval strategy concepts of Sea Shield and Sea Strike. A number of options are available to meet the requirements of a littoral combatant. Each of these options will be analyzed to demonstrate their merit and determine which one meets the requirements of a Littoral Combat Ship. I'd like to thank my faculty advisors, friends and family for their patience and help with this paper.
