That’s where I read this. I always wondered itpfbthat was really why it was cancelled (that’s why I wrote “supposedly”) or if Lockheed simply couldn’t make an adequate ship, being an aircraft company.

This is about the Sea Shadow, right? Lockheed later got a contract for the Freedom class of litoral combat ships, with 10 of the planned 16 currently active and five more fitting out or under construction. Those are being built by a shipbuilding firm, not Lockheed directly.
