U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has visited the Fincantieri Marinette Marine shipyard in Wisconsin and met with the shipbuilders and sailors of the Freedom-variant Littoral Combat Ship program.
Mabus saw the six LCS ships currently in construction under the Lockheed Martin-led team during his tour of the shipyard, the company said Monday.
The team has delivered four Freedom-variant LCS to the Navy with six ships under various levels of construction and three others in long-lead material procurement.
Fincantieri Marinette Marine, Gibbs & Cox and more than 500 suppliers across 37 states provide support to Lockheed Martin in building the ships.
