US littoral combat ship class built by Austal USA around an aluminium trimaran hull. It is distinct from the Independence-class aircraft carrier and is filed as an LCS, not an offshore patrol vessel.

Displacement, dimensions, speed, range and crew remain absent rather than mixing load conditions or configurations. Radar range, acoustic performance, air-group and magazine figures are not assigned.
