The Lockheed Martin team launched the USS Detroit (the nation’s seventh Littoral Combat Ship) into the Menominee River on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014. This new $670.4 million (and 3000 tonne) vessel was given an unusual sideways launch, which is normally reserved for when the water channel is too narrow to allow for a lengthwise launching. Watch the video of the ship launch below.
