US Navy launches monster assault ship with 1.2 million-pound payload capacity
 
Austal USA has launched its first Landing Craft Utility (LCU) vessel for the US Navy, marking a major step in the company’s expansion into steel shipbuilding.

The launch of LCU 1710 took place on August 22 at the company’s Mobile, Alabama, facility.

It is the first of 12 vessels under a $91.5 million Navy contract awarded in 2023. Austal currently has three LCUs under construction, with work scheduled to continue into the next decade.
 
“I am proud of the LCU program team for the hard work they’ve put forth to reach this important milestone,” Austal USA President Michelle Kruger said in a statement.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
