MOBILE, Ala (Sept 6, 2024) - Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, ship sponsor of USNS Lansing (EPF-16), prepares to engrave 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.
