Members of the official party watch as the Sailors of the USS Beloit (LCS 29) bring the ship to life during the ship’s commissioning ceremony in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Nov. 23, 2024. LCS is a fast, agile, mission-focused platform designed for operation in near-shore environments yet capable of open-ocean operation. It is designed to defeat asymmetric "anti-access" threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft. They are capable of supporting forward presence, maritime security, sea control, and deterrence. Beloit is the 15th Freedom-variant littoral combat ship (LCS) commissioned in the United States Navy and the first to be commissioned in naval service to bear this namesake.
