USS Mount Whitney LCC-20

 

USS Mount Whitney (LCC/JCC 20) is one of two Blue Ridge-class amphibious command ships of the United States Navy and is the flagship and command ship of the United States Sixth Fleet. USS Mount Whitney also serves as the Afloat Command Platform (ACP) of Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO (STRIKFORNATO).

 

Mount Whitney is claimed to be the most sophisticated Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) ship ever commissioned.

 

She incorporates various elements of the most advanced C4I equipment and gives the embarked Joint Task Force Commander the capability to effectively command all units under their command.

 

Seen here alongside at Portland Harbour, Dorset, UK.
