Root cause of the incident is currently under investigation by the Navy and shipbuilder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy has not said when Cleveland will be commissioned, but a Pentagon release ahead of the christening noted that Saturday\u2019s \u201cside-launch\u201d would be the last at the Wisconsin shipyard, with follow-on ships being launched using a shiplift system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To date, the ship class has failed to ever take on the missions envisaged for it earlier this century, agile, fast warships operating in coastal waters to hunt and destroy enemy submarines, eliminate anti-ship mines and defend the fleet from attacks by small boats. Questions linger about how such a ship would contribute in a shooting war with China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Freedom-class LCS has suffered from <a
