Hi Smitty
RE: "Survivability". this was one of POGO's BS claims that the Navy responded to already and I documented when I took down POGO's lame arguments in http://www.elementsofpower.blogspot.com/2012/05/project-on-government-oversight-still.html
As to the rest, think of one ship as part of a larger system, and you see where the Navy is going with this. They know what they want to do with the ships, they're now working on 'how' they want to do it befoer they spend the bucks to put the capability into the modules. Operating in the fleet will give them the insight they need ahead of spending $. I like the whole many seaframes and module approach as a force multiplier that also trims total logistics down times. We're fortunate in tha tthis is such a new approach that the Navy has been quite vocal all along on what they're doing, and the history is well documented.
