 Another LCS, 4th in a Year, Breaks Down During Pacific Transit
USS Coronado 600x400
Military.com | Aug 30, 2016 | by Hope Hodge Seck

The littoral combat ship USS Coronado is returning to Pearl Harbor from the Western Pacific after experiencing an engineering casualty earlier Tuesday, officials with the Navy's Third Fleet confirmed.

The incident comes just days after the Navy acknowledged that another littoral combat ship, the USS Freedom, had sustained significant damage to one of its diesel engines.

The Coronado departed Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Aug. 26 for an independent deployment to the Western Pacific, Third Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Ryan Perry told Military.com in a statement.

On the bright side, The Detroit might benefit from the problems of the others.
