Future USS Montgomery Launches and Marks Production Milestone

MOBILE, Ala. (NNS) -- The future USS Montgomery (LCS-8) launched from the Austal USA shipyard Aug. 6, marking an important production milestone for the littoral combat ship program. Montgomery was procured under a block buy contract awarded in December 2010, and will be the second ship named for the capital of Alabama. [...] Following the launch, the ship will undergo outfitting, and test and evaluation of its major systems at the Austal shipyard. The ship's christening, a ceremony that marks the official naming of the vessel, is planned for the winter.
