The Landing Ship Tank (LST) is one of the most famous of the many World War II amphibious warfare ships. Capable of discharging its cargo directly on to shore and extracting itself, the LST provided the backbone of all Allied landings between 1943 and 1945, notably during the D-Day invasion.
The U.S. Navy has commissioned the Independence-class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) USS Omaha into service at the Broadside pier in San Diego on February 3, the service announced in a statement. It is the 11th LCS and the sixth Independence-class variant to enter service with the U.S. Navyâs surface fleet. The ship will be homeported in San Diego. The U.S. Navy operates two LCS variants, the Independence and Freedom class. Independence-class ships feature a unique trimaran hull, a larger flight deck than the Freedom class â they can carry two rather than one helicopter â and also have a larger fuel capacity and as a consequence a wider operational range.
