The Navy would get just one littoral combat ship in 2018 under the Senate Armed Services annual defense policy bill released this week, less than both the Trump administration and House have proposed.

The committee, headed by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a critic of the LCS program, made the proposal based on the acting Navy secretary’s testimony in May that only one LCS is needed, according to committee aides, despite the service’s amended request Thursday for a second ship.
