Navy Cancels $6B Constellation Frigate Program — Was It Doomed From the Start?

美国海军取消60亿美元星座级护卫舰项目——从一开始就是个死局吗?

在经历了多年的延误、超支和设计混乱后,海军终于叫停了星座级护卫舰项目。他们保留了正在威斯康星州建造的两艘舰艇,但剩下的四艘已胎死腹中。海军部长法伦称之为‘战略转向’——但说白了:这更像急救,而非战略。

最初的计划是基于意大利成熟的FREMM设计建造20艘舰艇——本是一张‘安全牌’。但海军就是忍不住要把它改得面目全非。如今五年过去,进度仅70%,超重严重,甚至可能降速。可责任却归咎于‘官僚主义’?真够可以的。

I get why Navy leadership is calling it strategic, but we’ve got families depending on these jobs. This yard has been building ships for over a century. Canceling four frigates nearly kills the pipeline. Thank God they’re keeping the first two and offering indemnities.

我能理解海军高层说是战略调整,但我们工人的家庭可全靠这些工作吃饭。这个船厂造船都一百多年了。取消四艘护卫舰几乎掐断了生产链。谢天谢地,至少前两艘还能继续,还有补偿金拿。

This was inevitable. You don’t take a foreign design, gut it, add U.S. systems, and expect no delays. The Navy wanted 'Americanized' FREMMs without accepting the trade-offs. Classic case of 'design by committee' and requirement creep.

这早就注定了。你不能拿一个外国设计,拆得面目全非,再塞进美国系统,还指望不延期。海军想要‘美国化’的FREMM,却不愿承担代价。典型的‘委员会设计’和需求蔓延。

Naval Optimist (海军乐观派)
Look, the Navy needs ships fast. Building the same flawed design just to hit a number is worse than adapting. This pivot frees up resources for DDG(X) and future frigates that actually address modern threats.

听着,海军现在最缺的是船。为了凑数而继续造有缺陷的设计,还不如调整方向。这次转向能腾出资源,用来建造DDG(X)和真正应对现代威胁的新型护卫舰。

And let's not forget — the U.S. government cancelled this for 'convenience.' That means they legally owe Fincantieri compensation. So we’re paying them not to build our ships. Peak military procurement.

别忘了——美国政府是以‘方便’为由取消的。这意味着他们依法必须赔偿芬坎蒂尼。所以我们是花钱请他们别给我们造军舰。军购荒诞剧的巅峰了。

Italian Diplomatic Observer (意大利外交观察员)
Fincantieri isn’t broken — the U.S. changed the rules mid-game. They bought a proven product, then demanded a remake. Italy lost $3B in revenue, but at least the U.S. acknowledged the damage with indemnities.

芬坎蒂尼没犯错——是美国中途改了规则。他们买了一个成熟产品,回头又要求重做。意大利损失了30亿美元收入,但至少美国用赔偿金承认了损失。

Wisconsin Local (威斯康星本地人)
All I care about is that the Marinette yard stays open. Those jobs keep our town alive. Politics and Pentagon spreadsheets can burn — we need paychecks.

我只关心马林内特船厂能不能继续开着。那些工作养活着我们整个小镇。什么政治和五角大楼的表格都见鬼去吧——我们要的是工资。

This is 2025's Zumwalt all over again. Remember? Cool design, bloated cost, missed the threat. The Navy keeps falling for 'sexy' ships instead of mass-producible workhorses.

这简直是2025版的朱姆沃尔特级。还记得吗?设计炫酷,成本爆炸,却跟不上实际威胁。海军总是被‘酷炫’的军舰迷住,却忘了能大批量生产的实用主力。
