The US Navy has officially decommissioned the lead ship of the Freedom type. Earlier, the first trimaran of the Independence type was written off, which also belongs to the LCS class.

The decommissioning ceremony of the first LCS-class Freedom ship, the USS Freedom, took place at the San Diego Naval Base. Due to restrictions related to Covid-19, the event was closed.

USS Freedom is a relatively new ship, it was commissioned in 2008. Thus, he served in the Navy for an extremely short time - about 13 years. All this time, USS Freedom was used, among other things, as a test and training vessel.

The representative of the USS Freedom type became one of two ships belonging to the LCS class, or Littoral Combat Ship. These are steel single-hull combat units with an aluminum superstructure.
