LCS Lube Oil
You've probably read that the USS Fort Worth, LCS-3, has broken down in Singapore and is idled indefinitely pending repairs. The breakdown was due to operating the combining gear assembly without lube oil. Does this sound familiar?
You may say it sounds familiar because that's exactly what happened to the Milwaukee, LCS-5, during construction which caused delays and repairs.
You may say it sounds familiar because that's what happened to the Milwaukee, LCS-5, when it finally sailed after delivery and broke down due to metallic debris in the combining gear and lube oil systems. The ship has been idled and will remain so for weeks to come, yet, as repairs continue.
You may say it sounds familiar because that's what happened to the USS Freedom, LCS-1, on multiple occasions during its workups and Singapore PR tour when lube oil system problems (among many other problems) occurred.
You may think you see a pattern.
The Navy assures us that there is no systemic problem with the combining gear/lube oil systems.
You may think that the LCS-1, LSC-3, and LCS-5 all suffering combining gear/lube oil system failures constitutes a pattern and a systemic problem.

You may think that the fact that every Freedom variant LCS that has put to sea has suffered a crippling combining gear/lube oil system failure very, very early in their service life constitutes a systemic problem.
The Navy assures us that there is no systemic problem with the combining gear/lube oil systems.
You may think that four or more catastrophic combining gear/lube oil system failures among three ships constitutes a pattern and a systemic problem.

No need for concern. All is well. The Navy assures us. You're mistaken if you think you see a pattern.
Anyway, you'll have to excuse me, now. I'm going to start a lube oil system repair company and cash in on what is clearly not a pattern.
