USS Minneapolis-St. Paul Time-Lapse Duluth Arrival
A time-lapse look at the pre-commissioning newest littoral combat ship USS
Minneapolis-St. Paul (LCS 21) arriving in Duluth, Minnesota for its
commissioning. USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul will be homeported at Naval Station Mayport, Florida.
The
LCS class ship is a fast, agile, mission-focused platform
designed for operation in near-shore environments yet
capable of open-ocean operation. It is designed to defeat
asymmetric "anti-access" threats and is capable of
supporting forward presence, maritime security, sea control,
and deterrence.
