The Navy is set to christen its first multi-mission combat ship Sept. 23, transforming the U.S. Navy fleet one ship at a time.

The USS Freedom will be christened at the Marinette Marine Corp., a civilian shipbuilding facility in Marinette, Wis., and after commissioning in 2007, it will be home-ported at Naval Station San Diego.

Freedom is the first of four littoral combat ships being built for the Navy’s surface combatant fleet. The ships are designed to navigate shallow waters near shore and will be based in San Diego.

In December 2004, the Navy awarded Bethesda, Md.-based Lockheed Martin Corp. a $423 million contract for design and construction of the Freedom and one other littoral ship. Lockheed employs about 1,200 locally.
