USS Independence. The next generation of Naval warships has arrived! It's fast. It's deadly. And it takes the fight right to the enemy's doorstep. Designed specifically for close-to-shore operations, these Littoral Combat Ships - or LCSs - feature a wide array of manned and unmanned 21st century weapons systems built to counter both surface and subsurface threats. When she joins the fleet in 2010, Independence will further broaden America's dominance of the world's oceans.
