 History has been made as the nation's first Littoral Combat Ship, Freedom (LCS 1), put to sea for the first time, marking the beginning of Builder's Sea Trials for the first-in-class coastal surface combatant.

The agile 378-foot Freedom, designed and built by a Lockheed Martin-led industry team, is conducting Builder's Sea Trials in Lake Michigan.

The trials - which are a coordinated effort between the U.S. Navy and the Lockheed Martin team - will include operational testing of the vessel's propulsion, communications, navigation and mission systems, as well as all related support systems.

"Freedom is now under way. Our team is looking forward to this trials period to demonstrate all the capabilities our unique design for LCS will bring to the Navy," said Joe North, director for Lockheed Martin's Littoral Combat Ship program.

"We're pleased to be closing in on delivering this advanced warship to the Sailors who protect our nation all over the world."
