230314-N-ZS023-1197 SAN DIEGO (March 14, 2023) Vice Adm. Mark Hammond, AM, Chief of Navy, Royal Australian Navy, left, poses with Cmdr. Michael Tyree, commanding officer of the future Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Canberra (LCS 30) Blue crew, in the ship’s hangar bay, March 14. Littoral Combat Ship platforms operate on a blue/gold crew model, enabling ships to remain forward deployed for extended periods of time. Littoral Combat Ships are fast, optimally manned, mission-tailored surface combatants that operate in near-shore and open-ocean environments, winning against 21st-century coastal threats. LCS integrate with joint, combined, manned and unmanned teams to support forward-presence, maritime security, sea control and deterrence missions around the globe.
