USS Independence
The USS Independence (LCS-2) was launched in April of 2008 and it is the lead ship of the United State’s Independence Class combat ships. What makes this battleship so special is its versatility as it can make a habit of changing out different systems for specific missions. Included in its different possible systems are: mine hunting, submarine hunting, and small boat warfare. The USS Independence (LCS-2) also has a widened flight deck which is larger than many of the destroyers and cruisers in the US Navy.

This nifty looking ship was the first one built by Austal USA and it was completed in September of 2011.

The ship is 338 feet long and 94 feet wide and it is primarily being used in non combat roles such as troop and equipment transportation.
