2 May 2012 - USS Independence (LCS 2) completes her maiden voyage with arrival in her homeport of San Diego. After two years of training off the coast of Florida, the ship's 23-day transit from Mayport, Fla. to San Diego marks the successful completion of testing of the Mine Countermeasures (MCM) mission package to detect, localize, and destroy mines in a tactical environment. USS Independence also transitted the Panama Canal and conducted a port visit and operations with the Mexican Navy. The Littoral Combat Ship is a fast, agile, networked surface combatant designed to operate in the near-shore environment, while capable of open-ocean tasking, and win against 21st-century coastal threats such as submarines, mines, and swarming small craft.
