Freedom-class littoral combat ship. For the RCI cruise ship class, see Freedom-class cruise ship. The Freedom class is one of two classes of littoral combat ship built for the United States Navy. The Freedom class was proposed by Lockheed Martin as a contender for a fleet of small, multipurpose warships to operate in the littoral zone.
For example, the goal of 306 ships stated in the Navyâs most recent 30-year plan included an objective for 52 small multi-role surface combatants, despite the Navyâs recently issued guidance that it is reducing its fleet purchase to 32 Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) hulls. 24 To make up the gap, the 30-year plan assumes that the Navy will procure another type of small surface combatant following the LCS program, but there is as yet no such program.
