Manchester is the 12th LCS to enter the fleet and the ninth to be homeported in San Diego.
LCSs are high speed, agile, shallow draft, mission-focused surface combatants designed for operations in the littoral environment, yet fully capable of open ocean operations. As part of the surface fleet, LCSs have the ability to counter and outpace evolving threats independently or within a network of surface combatants. Paired with advanced sonar and mine hunting capabilities, LCSs provide a major contribution, as well as a more diverse set of options to commanders, across the spectrum of operations.
It's appearance here is likely for maintenance though the exact reasons were not disclosed.
Three of the first 4 LSC’s need namesake cities to Allow residents gift $1.00+Each and add $110.00 municipal bonds amortized over 100 years to keep the vessel named in their NAVY fleet. The keel is fine machinery till Dec. 31 2020 is well; namesake vessels funding is voluntary and just as needed / lend active ships to Bermuda, Kwagiline, and Japan and Singapore as their needs exist. The Bath, ME. and Portsmouth, NH. Shipwrights willing to at cost +2% all required work needed to mend these active sea based ship s all 4 named vessels can be kept for blue and gold crews whom trained the respective crews; the funding of 4 vs one frigate will prove cost effective and seems sensible : mothballing is costly active ships seem better and namesake locations of 6 year old keels fund these at 3% bonds.
