Would Fisher have made the US Navy's Littoral Combat Ship work?

Probably, though even Fisher could not combine successful technology, enough replacement ships, and lower fleet costs all at once.

The counterfactual asks whether Fisher serving in the present US Navy would have made the Littoral Combat Ship work. The answer is probably, because Fisher generally delivered functioning examples of the technologies he chose to pursue. That project-level ability remained separate from his larger failure to transform an entire fleet, build enough replacement ships, and reduce costs at the same time. The exchange returns to the central problem: successful innovation cannot by itself solve incompatible fleet-wide demands.
