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.
