Where does the Littoral Combat Ship fit in the design triangle?

Where would the Littoral Combat Ship fall on the armor-speed-firepower diagram?

Far toward the speed extreme, because achieving about 40 knots was the programme's dominant requirement.

The Littoral Combat Ship is placed well beyond the diagram's ordinary speed-and-firepower categories. Its roughly 40-knot requirement was the programme's overriding design priority. That choice helps explain why the ships differ so sharply from armor-and-firepower coastal defenders despite sharing the word littoral. The comparison distinguishes a fast vessel intended to move through coastal waters from a heavily protected ship intended to stand and fight there.
