Navy Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) New Ships with New Missions Littoral means near-shore, and that's where these ships were made to operate. In 2002, America's Navy recognized the need for smaller, more agile ships that could defeat asymmetric threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft. Littoral Combat Ships come in two classes, Freedom and Independence. Their key advantage is that they are re-configurable. They can be fitted with mission modules specific to the task at hand. The Freedom Class has the more conventional hull of the two classes.
