Frigates and Littoral Combat Ships

A new support site at a Singapore Navy base is shaking up the way the service maintains its littoral combat ships.

The Knifefish system is designed to deploy from an LCS as well as from other offshore vessels.

The commanding officer of a precommissioned littoral combat ship has been removed after the vessel hit another ship.

The Navy Department wants more than $205 billion for thousands more sailors, new ships, unmanned vessels and aircraft.

The mission will be the first of its kind for the LCS.

The service is moving ahead with placing the Naval Strike Missile on the LCS.

The head of Naval Surface Forces says commanders are clamoring for the near-shore security vessels.

The Pentagon's watchdog agency criticized the Navy's management of a new mine detection system for its littoral combat ships.

The Hessen and the Royal Norwegian Navy frigate Roald Amundsen arrived in Norfolk in January to train with the Truman.

Last October, Knifefish successfully completed sea trials testing its ability to detect mines at various depths.
