The LCS is the only U.S. Navy ship currently designed to operate in relatively shallow water with mission modules to support a variety of operations; to such it conforms to the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) call for the USMC to 'return to the littorals.' With modular multi-mission adaptability, high-speed, and shallow draft, the LCS gives the Joint Task Force commander (JTFC) a flexible platform that accommodates changing tactical requirements while opening up a much larger area of seaborne operations and meets USMC future operating concepts.
