Got a question for Lockheed Martin about its littoral warship?
The Union-Tribune is scheduled to interview executives from Lockheed Martin on Wednesday about the the status of its first two littoral combat ships, Freedom and Fort Worth. Freedom is already stationed in San Diego. Forth Worth will be sent here after construction and early sea trials are completed. The company, and its builder, Marinette Marine in Wisconsin, have come under criticism from Congress because of cost overruns, delays and quality issues in the LCS program. The criticism also has been aimed at General Dynamics, which is leading the industry group that’s building the Independence-class group of LCS vessels. If you have a question you’d like us to consider for Wednesday’s meeting, email it to: gary.robbins@uniontrib.com. You also can post the question in the Comments section of this blog. Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Northrop Grumman was involved in the development of Independence.
