What LCS could be without the missing-frigate burden

What would LCS look like without pressure to serve simultaneously as a frigate, mine countermeasures vessel, and littoral combat ship?

It could be smaller and more focused on littoral missions, mine warfare, boat handling, special-forces insertion, and strike weapons because it would not need to carry the blue-water ASW burden.

Without ASW-frigate duties, LCS could focus on mine warfare, inshore operations, small-boat handling, special-forces insertion, and perhaps strike weapons. The hulls might even shrink because they would not need a large towed-array fit and its supporting computers. Congress's political choice to buy both Freedom and Independence variants might still occur, but each class would face a narrower technical mission. Perry would carry the blue-water ASW burden while LCS remained a littoral specialist. One missing ship type can otherwise force another program into conflicting requirements.
