210729-N-EQ038-1114 SAN DIEGO (July 29, 2021) – Cmdr. James Davenport, Commanding Officer, USS Independence (LCS 2) receives his end-of-tour award during the decommissioning ceremony of the Independence. Independence was decommissioned after more than 10 years of distinguished service. Commissioned Jan. 16, 2010, USS Independence has been a test and training ship and was key in developing the operational concepts foundational to the current configuration and deployment of today’s LCS. The decommissioning of LCS 2 supports department-wide business process reform initiatives to free up time, resources, and manpower in support of increased lethality. The LCS remains a fast, agile, and networked surface combatant, designed to operate in near-shore environments, while capable of open-ocean tasking and winning against 21st-century coastal threats.
