LCS 21 (MPLS-ST PAUL) acceptance trials

The newest Navy ship, named for Minneapolis and Saint Paul, completed the last major milestone before delivery to the U.S. Navy fleet. The ship completed acceptance trials – an event where the Navy takes the ship on a test drive and tests it’s capabilities to ensure the ship is ready for delivery. The Lockheed Martin-led team building the ship will complete final preparations to deliver the ship in early 2021. Also in 2021, the ship will be commissioned into active service in the fleet.
