Future Independence-class littoral combat ship USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS 10) successfully completed its acceptance trials Nov. 18.
The trials consisted of a series of in-port and underway demonstrations for the Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV).
Acceptance trials are the last significant milestone before delivery of the ship to the Navy. During the trials, the Navy conducted comprehensive tests of the LCS intended to demonstrate the performance of the propulsion plant, ship handling, and auxiliary systems.

Following delivery and commissioning in Galveston, Texas, LCS 10 will sail to California to be homeported in San Diego with sister ships USS Independence (LCS 2), USS Coronado (LCS 4), USS Jackson (LCS 6), and USS Montgomery (LCS 8).

or the USS Chaz Bono or USS Justin Bieber
Design was stolen by the Navy or possibily by Lockmart. See Here: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/11/25/did-the-navy-steal-its-stealth-warship-designs.html
The ship is equipped with world-class conflict resolution negotiators who will travel from port to port declaring world peace and harmony.
It's a beautiful thing.
!Sigh!
Oh, Brave New World!
All of the clitoral combat ships should be named after women.
Makes me sick.
I am an old Air Force guy, but do I understand correctly that it is considered bad luck to re-name a ship?
If not, Trump should ask that it be renamed immediately.
When trump comes in he can tranfer that to a PT boat.
Seems they do these days. USS George H. W. Bush, which I don’t have a problem with... USS Jimmy Carter. Yeah, he was a crappy president, but he was a Naval Academy graduate.
Actually he was a local pol. On the board of San Francisco supervisors.
re-name this ship
Ridiculous.
wishful thinking ??
Yes he did he loved lots of semen inside him
Given the performance of this class, there’s a certain irony and poetic justice in the name.
Any Frigate without VLS aint worth squat.
So all you have to do to get a ship named after you is survive being shot in the head and become an anti-gun extremist?
It shoots Nerf Balls.
OK, translate, you're talking to a dumb Army guy.
Is one scheduled to be named after lbj
