260304-N-XG173-1005 NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO (March 4, 2026) — Mineman Second Class Ethan Crawford, assigned to Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Cincinnati (LCS 20), greets his spouse with the traditional “first kiss” upon return to Naval Base San Diego homeport, March 4, 2026. Littoral combat ships are fast, optimally manned, mission-tailored surface combatants that operate in near-shore and open-ocean environments, winning against 21st-century threats. LCSs integrate with joint, combined, manned, and unmanned teams to support forward presence, maritime security, sea control, and deterrence missions around the globe.
