LCS 26 Mobile Alabama
LCS 26 Mobile Alabama, The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is a fast, agile, mission-focused platform designed to operate in near-shore environments, winning against 21st-century coastal threats. The LCS is capable of supporting forward presence, maritime security, sea control, and deterrence.
We drove down to the bay area in Mobile and found a spot right across from where they were building these massive ships for the Navy. Again continuing with my theme of engineering marvels this week.
They were actually building two of these ships when we were there.
This ship in the photo below was being built also, but I have no idea what it is. Can’t even imagine how they build something with so much technology. I have enough issues with my computer sometimes.

Very interesting!
Very interesting! Can’t say as I’ve seen that boat design until now. Pretty sleek and likely very agile. Will check it out when pass by there on our way to Dauphin Island in April.
Yes, we had to drive around to find a spot to get close enough to see them. Impressive ships. 😊
Your research is amazing 🤩 .
Thank you 😊
My pleasure
Impressive ships Sandra and you found the ideal spot for photographing them.
Yes, we just happened across that spot. Most everything was fenced off but we love to go exploring.😊
I served on an old WWII destroyer and destroyer escort in the late ‘60’. The technology in the Navy ships since then is absolutely remarkable.
They are so impressive Don, there is so much computer stuff on the inside it probably takes a lot of training to run them, but just the technology to building that is mind boggling to me.
