The future USS Cleveland (LCS 31), the 16th and final Freedom variant littoral combat ship, built by Fincantieri Marinette Marine, has been delivered to the U.S. Navy. This achievement represents more than two decades of collaboration between Fincantieri Marinette Marine, Lockheed Martin, the Navy, and hundreds of suppliers and partners in more than 42 states.

LCS 31 will be commissioned in Cleveland in 2026, and then the USS Cleveland will be homeported in Mayport, Florida, ready to provide protection and service.
