U.S Navy To Commission Future Littoral Combat Ship USS Marinette

This will be the latest combat vessel to become a part of the Surface force, the 1st warship of the U.S Navy to be named after Marinette, Wisconsin, and the 3rd to be named for the community. Its commanding officer, Shane Brewer, said this ship will have many capabilities.

“We can go anywhere in the world and accomplish anything, such as counter-narcotics missions and maintaining freedom of the seas,” Brewer said. “This ship is also modular, and it can go fast and stay close to the coast, so we are excited about that.”
