What happened
The delivery timeline for the navy’s littoral combat ship (LCS) is slipping, with the first ship delivery being pushed from December to April 2027 and lacking its main anti-ship armament. Defence Minister Khaled Nordin stated that he has told the shipbuilder to expedite work. This response came after Hassan Abdul Karim called for investigations into the LCS project.
