High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Coronado (LCS-4) will be a Independence-class littoral combat ship. She will be the third ship of the United States Navy to be named after Coronado, California. A contract was awarded to General Dynamics-Bath Iron Works in May 2009 for the construction of LCS-4. Coronado will be the second LCS to feature a high-speed trimaran hull and will be designed to defeat littoral threats and provide access in coastal waters for missions such as mine warfare, anti-submarine warfare and surface warfare. There are two different LCS hull forms – the Independence-class aluminum trimaran, and the Freedom-class semiplaning monohull designed and built by Lockheed Martin. These seaframes will be outfitted with reconfigurable payloads, called mission packages, which can be changed out quickly. Mission packages are supported by special detachments that will deploy manned and unmanned vehicles and sensors. Coronado will be built by Austal USA in Alabama.
