LCS-3


This weekend featured the christening of the Fort Worth - the third littoral combat ship order by the US Navy and the second built by Marinette Marine Corporation.

These vessels are designed to operate in waters less than twenty feet deep at speeds of up to 46 miles per hour.

As a flexible platform it can change mission capabilities - anti-submarine, mine counter measures or surface warfare - in a matter of days through an interchangeable modular system.
