Revolutionizing the Surface Navy
The crew of USS CORONADO is forging the future of the surface fleet.
“We are not different……but we are.”
LCS breaks the mold in nearly every aspect.• Manning & Crewing• Training & Certifying
19
• Minimum manning– 40 core crew, 12-15 mission package, 23-man composite (Helo, VTUAV) AVDET
– Crews are operators, not maintainers – most other duties done ashore
– Highly-trained hybrid Sailors perform multiple functions
– Stringent detailing requirements support multi-crewing & training
– Unplanned losses must be quickly filled
1. Multi-crewing – Currently Blue/Gold (2 crews per ships)
– Ultimately 3:2:1 (3 crews per 2 ships to keep 1 deployed)
– Increased hull usage (On station time up 33%)
– 4 month crew rotations to mitigate fatigue
– Off-hull core & MP crews located at LCSRON
– Train to Qualify
– Train to Certify
