I think Andrew is right. Give them away with the caveat "As-Is", "No Returns". Then you are rid of them like a gangrenous big toe. Alternatively these LCS's could be towed pierside to NYC, Boston, Philly, Baltimore and even up the Potomac to be operated by the local government as homeless and immigrant shelters, floating jails or for future 2024 COVID variant treatment centers.

Or maybe make the Academy use them as intended with minimal crewing for their summer cruises. They can go do drug interdiction with a USCG det.

Yeah, my bad. I wiggled out of going to the mandatory CWO/LDO Knife & Fork School and was only 4 days at OCS previously before I VDE-ed. Sometimes my skirt shows. :(

Well, they could also be used to take the entire House Armed Services committee water skiing (all at the same time) and then have a nice cookout on the flight deck.
