USS Independence (LCS-2) Littoral Combat Ship – 1,529 Piece Set
Trimaran innovation. Littoral dominance.
USS Independence (LCS-2) pioneered the U.S. Navy's revolutionary littoral combat ship concept with her radical trimaran design, entering service in 2010. This high-speed platform combines a wave-piercing hull with outrigger pontoons, achieving speeds over 40 knots while maintaining exceptional stability. Designed for modular mission packages—anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, or surface warfare—the Independence class represents the Navy's attempt to create a transformable warship for the shallow, contested waters near enemy coastlines. Her distinctive profile and aluminum construction make Independence unlike any warship in U.S. naval history.
This 1:350 scale build captures the radical design of America's trimaran warship. From the distinctive three-hull configuration and flight deck capable of operating two helicopters to the modular mission bay and water-jet propulsion, every detail reflects innovative thinking in naval architecture.
