USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul (LCS-21) sailors salute the audience during a commissioning ceremony Saturday in Duluth, Minn. The Freedom-class littoral combat ship was built in Marinette, Wis. It’s designed to have significant maneuverability and will utilize a state-of-the-art system that combines diesel and gas turbines with steerable water jet propulsion. It has a flight deck that’s about 1.5 times larger the most naval warships and can accommodate a crew of 140 service members. The ship headed Monday to its home base at the naval station in Mayport, Florida, to await orders. (US Navy photo)
