USS Freedom (LCS-1) |
She is designed for a variety of missions in shallow waters, minesweeping and humanitarian relief, capable against submarines and small ships, but not designed to take on large warships. The ship is a semi-planing monohull design capable of over 40 knots (74 km/h; 46 mph).[6]
Commissioned in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on 8 November 2008, Freedom is home-ported in San Diego,[3] and assigned to Littoral Combat Ship Squadron One.[7]
On 20 June 2020, the US Navy announced that they would be taking Freedom out of commission in March 2021, and placing her, along with Independence, Fort Worth, and Coronado in reserve
