USS INDEPENDENCE,Littoral Combat Ship,LCS,United States Navy,USN,Highsmith

Title: USS Independence, the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is the U.S. Navy's newest class of surface combatant ships
Creator(s): Highsmith, Carol M., 1946-, photographer
Date Created/Published: 2010 March 22.
Notes:
Optimized for shallow seas and littoral operations within 100 miles of shore but deployable across the ocean, LCS ships are a centerpiece of the USA's new focus on littoral warfare. They will help to counter growing 'asymmetric' threats like coastal mines, quiet diesel submarines, piracy, and terrorists on small fast attack boats. They will also perform intelligence gathering and scouting using helicopters and UAVs, offer some ground combat support capabilities, and share tactical information with other Navy aircraft, ships, submarines, and joint units. Swappable 'mission modules,' UAV robot aircraft, and robotic UUV and USV vehicles will give these small ships the specialized capabilities they require for each of these roles.
