USS Little Rock christening and launch from Marinette Marine Shipyard, Marinette, Wisconsin. USS Little Rock (LCS-9) is a Freedom-class littoral combat ship of the United States Navy. It is the second ship named after Little Rock, the capital city of Arkansas. The ship is a semi-planing steel monohull with an aluminum superstructure. It is 377 feet (115 m) in length, displaces 3,500 metric tons, and can go faster than 45 knots (83 km/h; 52 mph). The design incorporates a large reconfigurable seaframe to allow rapidly interchangeable mission modules, a flight deck with integrated helicopter launch, recovery and handling system and the capability to launch and recover boats from both the stern and side. The flight deck is 1.5 times the size of that of a standard surface ship, and uses a Trigon traversing system to move helicopters in and out of the hangar. The ship has two ways to launch and recover various mission packages: a stern ramp and a starboard side door near the waterline. The mission module bay has a 3-axis crane for positioning modules or cargo. The fore deck has a modular weapons zone which can be used for a 57 mm gun turret or missile launcher. A Rolling Airframe Missile launcher is mounted above the hangar for short-range defense against aircraft and cruise missiles, and .50-caliber gun mounts are provided topside. The core crew will be 40 sailors, usually joined by a mission package crew and an aviation detachment for a total crew of about 75. Automation allows a reduced crew, which greatly reduces operating costs. Four 750-kilowatt Fincantieri Isotta-Fraschini diesel generators provide 3 megawatts of electrical power to power the ship systems.

Lockheed Martin - Fort Worth Littoral Combat Ship 3 (LCS 3) : Full Speed Ahead [1080p]

The LCS Mission The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is designed to defeat growing littoral threats and provide access and dominance in the coastal water battlespace. A fast, maneuverable surface combatant, the LCS provides warfighting capabilities and operational flexibility for focused missions including mine-clearing, anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare. Led by prime contractor Lockheed Martin, the team includes naval architect Gibbs & Cox and ship builder Marinette Marine Corporation, a Fincantieri company. The Lockheed Martin team has designed and constructed two ships for this new class. The team constructed USS Freedom (LCS 1), which was delivered to the Navy in 2008 and successfully completed its first deployment in 2010, two years ahead of schedule. The team's second LCS, Fort Worth (LCS 3), is 99 percent complete at Marinette Marine's Wisconsin shipyard, and is awaiting U.S. Navy acceptance trials this spring. Improvements made from lessons learned on the first LCS to Fort Worth include added buoyancy, 10 percent more fuel capacity and extra length which helps increase ship speed and efficiency. The team's next two ships -- the Milwaukee (LCS 5) and the Detroit (LCS 7) -- are currently under construction. In March, the Navy issued a contract modification to the Lockheed Martin team to build the Little Rock (LCS 9) and Sioux City (LCS 11) as part of the Navy's revised 2010 acquisition strategy. The strategy calls for 10 ships to be awarded to the Lockheed Martin-led team between 2010 and 2015. Purpose LCS is a critically important shipbuilding program for the US Navy to defend our national interests and demands the best skill and effort from industry teams to be successful. What It Replaces The 55 LCS-class ships will replace 30 FFG-7 Oliver Hazard Perry Class frigates, 14 MCM Avenger Class mine countermeasures vessels, 12 MHC-51 Osprey Class coastal mine hunters. Unique Manning Concept As designed, LCS operates with considerably less manning (40 core sailors) plus support crew for the aviation and mission packages to operate the reconfigurable mission modules. Mission Packages The LCS platform is flexible and reconfigurable. In theater, the LCS acts as a hub -- tying together sea, air and land assets. When deployed to address a threat, a ship can be reconfigured for a specific mission in days. Three mission packages include: Mine Warfare, Anti-Submarine Warfare, and Surface Warfare. ■Anti-submarine package elements include: MH-60 Romeo carrying an active dipping sonar, sonobuoys and heavy-weight torpedos. ■Mine countermeasures package requires two operators, and searches twice as fast as legacy systems. Elements include: the Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle, AQS-20A Variable Depth Sonar, Launch & Recovery Subsystem. ■The surface warfare package provides fleet protection from small boats and other asymmetric threats. Includes Gun Mission Module MK 50 MOD, a Non-Line of Sight Launch System Mission Module, a MH-60R Helicopter, Vertical Takeoff Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and a Maritime Security Module. Maintenance and Sustainment Driving down costs in areas like transportation, upkeep and storage Lockheed Martin-led LCS team has been building the foundation to sustainment efforts to performance-based environment. We selected the most qualified, cost-effective suppliers to address inventory and spares management and obsolescence. Worldwide maintenance support With Lockheed Martin's global network of industrial partners' maintenance and depot facilities, the LCS can be serviced in areas not fully supported by U.S. infrastructure. Streamlined, automated enterprise logistics Lockheed Martin is establishing the foundation for extensive condition-based maintenance implementation in the near future -- a cornerstone of affordability. Economic Impact Creating Jobs This contract award of 10 ships to the Lockheed Martin/Marinette Marine / Gibbs & Cox team provides significant economic benefits. An economic impact study on the program found that it at the program's peak (2014, delivering two ships/year), the Lockheed Martin/Marinette Marine LCS program can generate nearly 13,000 jobs across the nation. Supporting Local Business With more than 700 suppliers in 43 states, LCS subcontractors include Rolls Royce, Fairbanks Morse, BAE, EADS and Raytheon, among others. The Marinette Marine shipyard is expanding its facilities and hiring more employees in the next few years to support production of two LCSs per year.

US Navy announces the nation's first Littoral Combat Ship will head to Southeast Asia on 1 March 2013. After a rigorous and thorough review of its readiness, USS Freedom -- the nation's first Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) -- was declared fit for duty in May 2012. Now, the U.S. Navy is ready to prove the ship's concept of operations in international waters. The Navy recently announced Freedom will leave its home port in San Diego on March 1 and participate in a 10-month deployment to Southeast Asia. "Freedom's maiden deployment is another clear signal of the Navy's enduring commitment to maintain security and stability in the vital Asia-Pacific region," said Adm. Cecil Haney, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. "Rotationally deploying our new littoral combat ships improves our warfighting capability and directly supports the Navy's rebalance strategy to the Asia-Pacific. Even in the face of potential budget cuts, there should be no doubt that the U.S. Pacific Fleet remains on watch and that we will continue to deploy our most capable units forward to operate with our allies and partners." During deployment, Freedom will participate in Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training -- a series of joint military exercises conducted by U.S. Pacific Fleet with several member nations -- and other Theater Security Cooperation events. Deployment will allow Freedom to demonstrate its operational capabilities, as well as allow the Navy to evaluate crew rotation and maintenance plans. Built by a Lockheed Martin-led industry team at Marinette Marine Corporation's shipyard in Wisconsin, Freedom successfully completed its first deployment in 2010, two years ahead of schedule. This upcoming deployment also provides Freedom a chance to show off its new 4-color camouflage paint scheme, which was conceived and designed by the ship's Blue Crew. Freedom now bears a combination of flat black, haze gray, haze white and ocean gray colors. Originally, only the hull was painted. It's a design that hasn't been seen on a larger U.S. combatant ship in many years. And while the design doesn't hide a ship from radars or other sensors, Cmdr. Dave Heinken, executive officer of the Blue Crew, said the new paint gives the ship an advantage. "It could confuse their visual identification," Heinken said in a January 14 article in Defense News. "Any time you can confuse an enemy's targeting problem, create doubt about a ship's true heading or identity, you could gain an advantage." Painting the ship was just one of the many projects completed by the Navy and the industry team to prepare the ship for deployment. During a four-week, 60,000 hour maintenance period that was completed on schedule, Freedom underwent preventive and facilities maintenance and also received a new stern ramp. In addition to building Freedom and USS Fort Worth, which was commissioned in September 2012, the Lockheed Martin team's next three ships -- Milwaukee (LCS 5), Detroit (LCS 7) and Little Rock (LCS 9) -- are under construction, with long-lead construction materials being procured for Sioux City (LCS 11). A contract award for LCS 13 and 15 is anticipated later this year. In addition to Marinette Marine Corporation, naval architect Gibbs & Cox and other domestic and international companies are part of the Lockheed Martin-led team. Freedom will be initially manned by her "Gold" crew of 91 Sailors to include mission package personnel an aviation detachment to operate an embarked MH-60 helicopter. Freedom is the first of three commissioned LCSs, which were designed to perform operations close to shore. LCSs are slightly smaller than guided missile frigates in size, but have the capabilities of a small assault transport with a flight deck and hangar, the ability to recover and launch small boats from a stern ramp, and enough cargo volume and payload to deliver a small assault force with armored fighting vehicles to a roll-on/roll-off port facility.

U.S. Navy video by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Doug Harvey and Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Daniel Young. Credit U.S. Navy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- USS Independence (LCS-2) is the lead ship of the Independence-class littoral combat ship. She is the sixth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the concept of independence. The design was produced by the General Dynamics consortium for the Navy's LCS program, and competes with the Lockheed Martin-designed Freedom variant. Independence, delivered to the Navy at the end of 2009, is a modular high speed corvette, not known by that term in U.S. Navy service, intended for operation in the littoral zone with a small crew. It is optimized for deploying and tending off-board systems, manned and unmanned; and takes on various capability profiles with the installation of a mission package, missions to include finding and destroying mines, hunting submarines in and near shallow water, and engaging in surface combat against boats, but not against warships. The ship is a trimaran design with a wide beam above the waterline, which provides the space needed for it to have a larger flight deck than is found on any of the much larger destroyers and cruisers in the US Navy, as well as a large hangar and a similarly large mission bay below. The trimaran hull configuration also exhibits low hydrodynamic drag, allowing efficient operation on two diesel powered water jets at speeds up to 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph), and high speed operation on two gas turbine powered water jets at speeds up to a sustainable 44 knots (81 km/h; 51 mph), with speed crests exceeding that. The design for Independence (LCS 2) is based on a high-speed trimaran (Benchijigua Express) hull built by Austal (Henderson, Australia). The 418-foot (127-meter) surface combatant design requires a crew of 40 sailors. With 11,000 cubic meters of payload volume, it was designed with enough payload and volume to carry out one mission with a separate mission module in reserve, allowing the ship to do multiple missions without having to be refitted. The flight deck, 1,030 m2 (11,100 sq ft), can support the operation of two SH-60 Seahawk helicopters, multiple UAVs, or one CH-53 Sea Stallion-class helicopter. The trimaran hull will allow flight operations up to sea state 5. The Independence carries a default armament for self-defense, and command and control. Unlike traditional combatants with fixed armament such as guns and missiles, tailored mission modules can be configured for one mission package at a time. Modules may consist of manned aircraft, unmanned vehicles, off-board sensors, or mission-manning detachments. Read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Independence_%28LCS-2%29

Name: USS Independence Awarded: 14 October 2005[1] Builder: Austal USA[1] Laid down: 19 January 2006[1] Launched: 26 April 2008[1] Christened: 4 October 2008 Commissioned: 16 January 2010[2] Homeport: San Diego[1] Status: In active service, as of 2015 Class & type: Independence-class littoral combat ship Displacement: 2,307 metric tons light, 3,104 metric tons full, 797 metric tons deadweight[1] Length: 127.4 m (418 ft)[1] Beam: 31.6 m (104 ft)[1] Draft: 14 ft (4.27 m)[1] Propulsion: 2× MTU Friedrichshafen 20V 8000 Series diesel engines, 2× General Electric LM2500 gas turbines,[3] 2× American VULKAN light weight multiple-section carbon fiber propulsion shaftlines, 4× Wärtsilä waterjets,[4] retractable bow-mounted azimuth thruster, 4× diesel generators Speed: 44 knots (51 mph; 81 km/h)[5] Range: 4,300 nm at 18 knots[6] Capacity: 210 t (210 long tons; 230 short tons) Complement: 40 core crew (8 officers, 32 enlisted) plus up to 35 mission crew Sensors and processing systems: SAAB Sea GIRAFFE 3D air and surface search radar[7] Sperry Marine BridgeMaster E navigational radar AN/KAX-2 electro-optical sensor with TV and FLIR Northrop Grumman ICMS (Integrated Combat Management System)[7] Electronic warfare & decoys: ITT Corporation ES-3601 ESM system[7] 4× SRBOC decoy launchers for chaff and infrared decoys[7] BAE Systems NULKA active radar decoy system[7] Armament: AGM-114L/N Hellfire missiles[8] 1× BAE Systems Mk 110 57 mm gun[9] 4× .50-cal guns (2 aft, 2 forward) 2× Mk44 Bushmaster II 30mm chain guns 1× Raytheon SeaRAM CIWS[7] Other weapons as part of mission modules Aircraft carried: 2× MH-60R/S Seahawk MQ-8 Fire Scout The design for Independence (LCS 2) is based on a high-speed trimaran (Benchijigua Express) hull built by Austal (Henderson, Australia). The 418-foot (127-meter) surface combatant design requires a crew of 40 sailors. With 11,000 cubic meters of payload volume, she was designed to carry two mission modules, allowing the ship to do multiple missions without having to be refitted. The flight deck, 1,030 m2 (11,100 sq ft), can support two SH-60 Seahawk helicopters, multiple UAVs, or one CH-53 Sea Stallion-class helicopter. The trimaran hull will allow flight operations up to sea state 5.[11] Independence carries a default armament for self-defense, and command and control. Unlike traditional combatants with fixed armament such as guns and missiles, tailored mission modules can be configured for one mission package at a time. Modules may consist of manned aircraft, unmanned vehicles, off-board sensors, or mission-manning detachments. The interior volume and payload is greater than some destroyers, allowing the ship to serve as a high-speed transport and maneuver platform. The 15,200 square feet (1,410 m2) mission bay takes up most of the deck below the hangar and flight deck. In addition to cargo or container-sized mission modules, the bay can carry four lanes of multiple Strykers, armored Humvees, and their associated troops. An elevator allows air transport of packages the size of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) shipping container that can be moved into the mission bay while at sea. A side access ramp allows for vehicle roll-on/roll-off loading to a dock and allows the ship to transport the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle.[12] Bunks and living spaces are below the bridge. The helm is controlled by joysticks instead of traditional steering wheels.[13] Independence also has an integrated LOS Mast, Sea Giraffe 3D radar and SeaStar Safire FLIR.

Marines with Bravo Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, conduct launch and recover drills from the USS Freedom three miles off the shore of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California. It was the first time the Marines used a littoral combat ship for the drills and determined that using an LCS gives the reconnaissance teams the ability to launch from the ship and be recovered at a greater distance out at sea.
