CORONADO is an LCS…

Most radical ship concept in modern history. Most radical ship concept in modern history.

3rd ship to bear the name “CORONADO”

LCS = Littoral Combat Ship

Innovative use of Technology- Minimum Manning- Hybrid Sailors fulfill multiple roles- Training and Qualification ashore- Multi-Crewing allows ship to stay deployed longer

Operational Flexibility- Interchangeable Mission Packages- High Speed, Highly Agile, Shallow Draft- “3-2-1” Concept

What LCS is not...

• 1-for-1replacement for FFG, MCM, PC

• Meant to go head-to-head against adversary capital ships

Mission Packages

1. Provide LCS its punch and extends the battlespace

2. Designed for MIW, SUW, USW

3. Cutting edge technologies

4. Mission Package = Mission Module + Aviation Det

5. Unmanned vehicles designed into every Mission Package

6. Mission Packages can swap out in <48 hours just about anywhere in the world

Revolutionizing the Surface Navy

The crew of USS CORONADO is forging the future of the surface fleet.

“We are not different……but we are.”

LCS breaks the mold in nearly every aspect.• Manning & Crewing• Training & Certifying

19

• Minimum manning– 40 core crew, 12-15 mission package, 23-man composite (Helo, VTUAV) AVDET

– Crews are operators, not maintainers – most other duties done ashore

– Highly-trained hybrid Sailors perform multiple functions

– Stringent detailing requirements support multi-crewing & training

– Unplanned losses must be quickly filled

1. Multi-crewing – Currently Blue/Gold (2 crews per ships)

– Ultimately 3:2:1 (3 crews per 2 ships to keep 1 deployed)

– Increased hull usage (On station time up 33%)

– 4 month crew rotations to mitigate fatigue

– Off-hull core & MP crews located at LCSRON

– Train to Qualify

– Train to Certify
