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.
The Navy originally ordered two Freedom-class littoral combat ships, the lead ship LCS-1 USS Freedom and LCS-3 (even numbers are used for Independence-class littoral combat ships). In March 2009, then-current Secretary of the Navy Donald C. Winter announced that LCS-3 would be named USS Fort Worth.
