JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. - A crewmember from the USS Charleston (LKA-113), an amphibious Navy cargo ship commissioned in 1968, salutes during the new USS Charleston (LCS-18) commissioning ceremony March 2, 2019, in Charleston, S.C. The USS Charleston—a Littoral Combat Ship intended for more shallow waters than typical Navy vessels—is the sixth naval ship named after the city. Although the ship will be stationed in San Diego, CA, the captain and members of the crew will make annual trips to Charleston to interact with the city and work with the Navy League of Charleston to maintain the relationship between the namesake city and the ship.
