Ship's sponsor Lyn Glenn breaks a bottle of champagne on the hull of the ship to bear her father's name, Mobile Landing Platform (MLP 2) John Glenn, and in doing so officially christens the ship. The ship, named in honor of U.S. senator, astronaut and Marine Corps pilot John Glenn, represents the newest platform in Navy-Marine Corps integration that will enable sailors and Marines to be where it matters, when it matters for amphibious operations or humanitarian and disaster relief efforts among other roles.
