US Navy's Newest Combat Ship launched

The Navy christened the future USS Detroit (LCS 7), the fourth Littoral Combat Ship of the Freedom variant, in a ceremony at Marinette Marine Shipyard in Marinette, Wisconsin, Oct. 18.

Now, Detroit will continue to undergo outfitting and testing. It's scheduled to be delivered to the U.S. navy in 2015.

In 2011, the Navy awarded the contract to build Detroit. It's one of the five LCS' being build at the Marinette Marine.
