Maybe a K-car-like frigate will save the Navy?

Comparing ships to cars...It is unfortunate that the disaster known as the Littoral Combat Ship will never be as great as the utility of the underwhelming and low quality K-Car.

After reading this excellent overview of the Littoral Combat Ship debacle by David Axe, well, maybe the Navy can get a bailout from D.C. and come up with the K-car of Navy ships; a no-frills reliable frigate? That is if the debt allows us to have anything more than the Coast Guard.
