MOBILE, Ala (Sept 6, 2024) - Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, ship sponsor of USNS Lansing (EPF-16), engraves her initials during its Keel Laying ceremony, Sept 6, 2024. The Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) shipbuilding program provides high speed, shallow draft transportation capability to support the intra-theater maneuver of personnel, supplies and equipment for the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Army. The keel laying represents the success and importance of our Maritime Statecraft initiative, which encompasses a national, whole-of-government effort to restore the comprehensive maritime power of the nation.
