USS Coronado is the 3rd ship to be named for the city of Coronado. Shortly after being commissioned, the ship was used to test the 30mm gun mission module designed for the LCS class ships.

 

The class was originally supposed to be fitted out with the AGM-176 Griffin missile system, but that idea has been scrapped because the Griffin requires continuous laser painting of the target, and that would limit the number of targets that can be engaged. Instead, the new plan is to use vertically launched AGM-114L Hellfire Longbow missiles. The Longbow can integrate with the installed Sea Giraffe radar. Live fire tests of the Hellfire from the ship are scheduled for some time in 2014.
