🗣📣“Man our ship and bring her to life!” 🫡 In #MorePlayersOnTheField news, USS Kingsville (LCS 36) was commissioned this past weekend in Corpus Christi, Texas. Named in honor of the city of Kingsville and the King Ranch in Texas, USS Kingsville joins the Fleet as the latest commissioned Independence-variant littoral combat ship. The U.S. Navy prides itself on a strong tradition of the relationship between a ship and their namesake community or family. Kingsville, the 18th Independence-variant LCS, is the first Navy ship to bear a name to Kingsville and the King Ranch. Independence-variant littoral combat ships are fast, optimally manned, mission-tailored surface combatants that operate in near-shore and open-ocean environments, winning against 21st-century coastal threats. LCS integrate with joint combined, manned and unmanned teams to support forward presence, maritime security, sea control, and deterrence missions around the globe.

Today, NAVSEA joins the Nation in celebrating Women’s Equality Day which commemorates the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting women the right to vote in 1920. This year’s Women’s Equality Day theme is “One Piece at a Time,” a theme to celebrate the expansion of women’s rights and the achievements that women in our military and civilian ranks have made. As #TheForceBehindTheFleet, we commemorate the building of the future USNS Lucy Stone (T-AO 209), the Navy’s 5th John Lewis-class fleet replenishment oiler. The ship, which is scheduled to be christened next month, is named for American suffragist Lucy Stone, who joined other notable advocates such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Ernestine Rose, and Antoinette Brown Blackwell to petition for suffrage and abolition in the 19th century. Stone’s efforts as a founder of the Women’s National Loyal League were essential to the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery. Today, more than 180,000 women comprise the Dept. of the Navy’s total force. NAVSEA, alongside US Navy leadership, remains fully committed to ensuring that we can add more pieces to the picture of inclusive representation within our command. For more information on the impact that women have continuously made within the DON, please visit: https://lnkd.in/e2bV9ng Follow us here for continued coverage on the christening and commissioning of the future USNS Lucy Stone.
