(OKINAWA, Japan) — Engineers from Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division’s Manufacturing Attritable Systems at Scale (MASS) team train III MEF Marines to apply spray foam to the Foam Raiding Craft (FRC-7) at Valiant Shield 26 in July 2026. The hands-on training was part of a four-week effort in which Carderock engineers established a manufacturing lab and taught Marines to use the equipment and processes required to manufacture 3- and 7-meter FRC platforms. Carderock, the Navy's innovation and ship design powerhouse, continues to deliver world-class, cost-effective, and groundbreaking technical solutions for advanced ships and systems to strengthen the U.S. maritime industrial base and ensure long-term maritime superiority.
