  1. USS CORONADO (LCS-4) CDR John Kochendorfer Commanding Officer Blue Crew

  2. Keel Laid: 30 APR 43 Launched: 15 JUL 43 Commissioned: 29 OCT 43 Decomm’d: 13 JUN 46 Recomm’d: 18 FEB 55 Decomm’d II: 17 OCT 69 • 1600 ton displacement • 306’ length • 37’ beam • 4 MPDE’s = 12k SHP • 21 knots • 8 Officers • 201 Enlisted

  3. CORONADO is an LCS… 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 Keel Laid: 17 DEC 2009 Launched: 14 JAN 2012 Commissioned: 5 APR 2014? Most radical ship concept in modern history.

  4. Two Classes of Littoral Combat Ship

  5. Anticipated LCS Operations • Other Missions • Maritime Security Ops • Mobility/Logistics • SPECOPS • NEO • HA/DR • Gulf of Guinea • - Sub-Saharan Navy Cooperation • HOA • - Counter Terrorism • - Counter Piracy • Persian Gulf • - Counter Terrorism • - Regional Engagement • - Oil Platform Protection • Counter Drug Ops • GWOT • Establish Regional Partnerships • Enhance Hemispheric Stability • and Security • Southern Philippines • - Counter Terrorism • Establish Regional Partnerships • Enhance Hemispheric Stability • and Security

  6. What LCS is not... • 1-for-1replacement for FFG, MCM, PC • Meant to go head-to-head against adversary capital ships

  11. Mission Packages • Provide LCS its punch and extends the battlespace • Designed for MIW, SUW, USW • Cutting edge technologies • Mission Package = Mission Module + Aviation Det • Unmanned vehicles designed into every Mission Package • Mission Packages can swap out in <48 hours just about anywhere in the world

  12. 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

  13. 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 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 Manning, Crewing, Training
