Initially classified as "aircraft carriers" (CV), all were re-designated "small aircraft carriers" (CVL) on 15 July 1943, while four ships were still under construction. The vessels will retain a degree of modularity to concentrate on one mission set and will still have mission bays, although they may be reduced. Though it is only half the size of their LCS design, it would still be useful for border protection and counter piracy operations. (Star Trek: The Seed Of Khan) The design was produced by the General Dynamics consortium for the Navy's LCS program, and competes with the Lockheed Martin-designed Freedom variant.10 Independence, delivered to the Navy at the end of 2009, … The other carriers of her class were USS Saratoga, USS Ranger and USS Independence. She joined the Pacific Fleet in June 1943. The Independence class is the second class (the first class was the Freedom class) of an entirely new type of ship—the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).These ships are small, agile, stealthy, and speedy surface vessels optimized for littoral operations (operations close to shore) against small craft. Her service to her country and its allies continued until 1998 when she was decommissioned in Bremerton, Wa. [25][30], Navy leaders said that the fixed price competition offered the Austal design an equal shot, in spite of its excess size, cost and limited service. Furthermore, the Independence-class littoral combat ships were designed after high-speed ferries and featured aluminum hulls, waterjet propulsion, and empty compartments for a yet-to-be-chosen missile. [55] Austal USA vice president Craig Hooper has responded to critics of the class's light armament by suggesting that the ships employ long range drones instead.[56]. (Decipher Games), Construction on the Independence began in November 2372 at Antares Fleet Yards. Unlike traditional fighting ships with fixed armament such as guns and missiles, tailored mission modules can be configured for one mission package at a time. SSC vessels are planned to begin procurement by 2019, and it is being investigated if the enhancements can be added to existing LCS hulls. It also wants to retire the first two ships of the Independence-class.
