NAVAL STATION MAYPORT, Fla. (May 11, 2026) – A Sailor assigned to the Freedom-variant littoral combat ship USS Cooperstown (LCS 23) hugs his family before the ship departs Naval Station Mayport to begin operations in support of its scheduled deployment. Cooperstown assumed duties previously executed by the Freedom-variant littoral combat ship USS Wichita (LCS 13) in support of USNORTHCOM’s border security objectives. Cooperstown is the first ship to bear the name, and honors 70 military veterans who are members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame located in Cooperstown, New York. These particular veterans had their baseball careers interrupted in order to serve in conflicts ranging from the Civil War through the Korean War. (U.S. Navy photo by Lt. j.g. Steven Alleman)
