- The U.S. Navy just commissioned the future USS Cooperstown LCS-23 as the newest Independence-variant littoral combat ship, or LCS, on May 8 in New York City. This accomplishment places the ship that the Lockheed Martin-led team built into active service with the U.S. Navy.
Cooperstown is the first naval ship named after Cooperstown, New York and honours the 70 Hall of Famers who served the United States during wartime in various conflicts spanning the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.

Very proud of my Daughter Courtney who is on the Cooperstown
Thank you for raising such a person, and i thank u for her service🇺🇸
The ship's home port is Mayport Naval Station. I pass it everyday.
And you should be. This type ship gets the top sailors. It will be a great ship to serve on. USN retired.
Is she single?
Wish her luck, women in the military are, uhm, in a lot of fun.
Interesting that when the commentator was talking about the state of the art electronics and weapons a sailor was shown firing a .50 caliber machine gun that was designed during the first world war. Long live the M2.
A big "Thank You!" shoutout to Mr Browning. For the MA Duce and the 1911.
Still WORKS, so why get rid of it? During my two years in Vietnam I carried a 1950s M3A1 .45 caliber "grease gun" with a NEWER Ithica silencer, never FAILED to FED or FIRE no matter if WET, DIRTY, MUDDY, or even RUSTY...from the tropical weather in the Vietnamese jungles and rice paddies!
Mr. Browning was a genius, his work with firearms was unusual considering he was a lifelong Mormon, a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints! Of course they were NOT against warfare, since California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico are part of the USA due to the efforts of the Mormon Battalion, about 2000 men HIRED by the U.S. Goverment as mercenaries to fight against Mexico during the Mexican War! This was the ONLY incident in American History of a Contract with a Church to provide soldiers for the U.S. Government!@@TheFlutecart
😂😂😂😂
The M2 on my tank in Iraq in 2003 was made at AC Spark Plug in Flint, MI during WWII.
"calm seas and fair winds" To the crew of the Cooperstown! Thank-you for your Service.

It's a nice-looking 'Coast Guard' boat.
Can’t wait to see the decommissioning video next year.
If it's made of aluminum like the latorial ships were their screwed. Hopefully they learned
Lol, yeah, no shit
I heard these things had major cost overruns and are a maintenance nightmare.
Sell them to Thailand
No Philippines..
Thanks to all active duty military and Veterans of the United States...💯👍🇺🇲
Great Army🇺🇲💪
God ☝️ bless 🙏 US Navy 🇺🇲💪
I did three years in the Navy, USS Enterprise CVN-65, and USS Ranger CV-61, i would do it All over again if I could
3 years, 2 ships? That’s odd.
🙋🏼
NO, not when one ship goes in for extended maintenance! @@MrKim-kv2vv
I mean for certain positions and qualifications they're now accepting people over 35. I'm not sure how I would have done in the military. oh I have a decent education with two masters though sometimes I can be as dumb as a rock when it comes to the simplest directions.
@@MrKim-kv2vv the big E I was on her from june of 89 to February 90, and that's when she went into the yards for 3 years, I got orders to the Ranger, was on her from February 90 to January of 92
@@serronserron1320you would have done great because your desire to improve yourself, that’s what the military looks for, not the slackers.
Beautiful ship.
I ride to Cooperstown on my motorcycle. It is a beautiful ride and a great destination . Go Navy 👍
Way To Kickass People's 🇺🇸💯😎👊
Lots of ignorant and misinformed trolls here today.
The LCS-23 Cooperstown is world-class and state of the art in every respect. It is deployed to my hometown of Mayport, Florida, near Jacksonville at the mouth of the St John's River.
Godspeed ! ! !
Can't believe Johnny Bench was present and honoured at the commissioning ceremony.
Good Luck Courtney.

Nice ship!
Did not the US Navy cease use of both the Freedom & Independence variants of these Littoral Combat Ships?
Yeah I heard that too but here...
Yeah I heard they're probably retiring the majority of the first Freedom class, something about the drive train and the Independence are going to be repurposed for mine warfare.
What they are not keeping are supposed to be sold off and replaced by the larger Constellation class frigates.
They'll keep some for fighting Piracy in the Persian Gulf and Drug interdiction in the Gulf of Mexico.
They're both too small to really contribute in a pier war.
They were conceived when China was more of a partner and terrorists had safe harbour in coastal North African and Gulf States.
Yes. But 1 big difference. Their not made of aluminum anymore. That was a disaster. Now its a much stronger alloy
@@IMGreg..they were made of aluminum that was the problem. The hull devloped huge cracks constantly
Independence class is aluminum hull construction. Cracking problem was fixed.
That is one fine boat, very cool
She's a beauty
So this tiny thing came out years ago, was finally delivered to the navy 10 months ago, and should be given to the Coast Guard.
Right now the Philippine Navy would appreciate it in their "conflict" with the Chinese Communist's People's Liberation Navy!
Congratulations from Canada. Nice looking vessel.
I hear they're really good for towing gunnery targets. When they're a few years (months?) older, they WILL be the gunnery targets. 💥
That boy's kick'n up a wake!
I find it funny to see them using binoculars so much when you know they have some amazing optics that see to the horizon & back 😅 God be with & protect you All! Thank you 😊
That's one sexy ship.
40 knots !! Holy cow !!
Jet powered no less. Possibly the world's largest planing hull.
May God bless the UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 OF Americas Navy
arm the alaskan crab fleet... they should be able to fit a CIWS on the bow and a MK 41 VLS or 2 in their tanks😂........ Discovery could call it Deadliest Catch's Deadliest Fleet😂
Thought we were moth balling those ships !
It's insane that the DOD has already deactivated 3 LCS ships that are about 9 years old and still building them. The goal of 355 combat ships is a pipe dream that won't be obtained...😢
That was my thinking as well. Who is drinking what inside that five sided zoo?
That's owing to the congressmen in whose districts the components are made. The fact that it's not battle-worthy doesn't enter into the decision.
Insane is an understatement. It's not the DOD though but the entire government top to bottom.
The DOD decomm'd one hasn't had even 5 years active duty.
I’m no fan of the LCS, but Ronald Reagan, Elmo Zumwalt, and John Lehman achieved a 600-ship Navy when no one thought it was possible. Trump-Noem 2024!
I proudly USA salamat welcome back Philippines country ❤️🙏🇵🇭🇱🇷🙏
It always blows me away how fast these big fuggers are..... you could water ski behind it!!!
That's a lot of canned-up rage in a long skinny metal object that floats on the water.
I think we have a Coast Gaurd for that mission.
This just warm's my heart 😂
Sharp!

There’s a space shuttle on that air craft carrier next door…at that port.
2.5 times longer than a regular ship a only 90 sailors. That 1/3 the personnel on a DD.
Supposed to be mostly automated to improve efficiency but the smaller crew of sailors end up having to do the work of three people
Very good:
It looks bow heavy. Why does it throw so much sea water up in the air? At speed, the splash goes up and over the deck and on to the bridge windscreens. Visibility is eliminated. The turbulence at the stern indicates the screws are struggling.
US Navy decommissioning these LCS
Политика в Азии просто я за мир
Last of its kinda, almost retired. Now used as a research vessel. Its modular design was a failure. It had both hull cracking and motor issues which caused it to be stuck in the sea needing a tug boat. I really don't see this ship as being success. It does seem good as a launchpad for hypersonics but so can submarines. This ship... nice ship in design but not one in reality
I like it they are powerful
It already comes with a defect in the electrical system, in the transmission, from the factory, if it goes beyond 8 knots, you can call the tugboat. If someone throws stones, it already causes serious damage to the hull.
Big waste of money, better to use as a training target is cheaper than navigating.
I thought the Navy was trying to get rid these small fast frigs?
They are, but new ones keep being built thanks to the contractor fulfilling the contract.
There are two new LCSs headed to NS Mayport as their home port, the Beloit and Nantucket.
Commissioned just in time for decommissioning😅
Let’s park some of those by the Alaska to welcome the Chinese and Russian ships next time they come around again
It's actually a nice looking ship over 40 knotts. A 57 bofors NSM missile and helicopter for recon and mines it's not that bad moving that fast in littoral gotta be hard to hit and catch this ship can win some flights yes the overcosts were way too much but its actually a nice ship and they fixed the problem with the gas turbine
That don't need to catch it. When it goes that fast it will break itself. Another colossal waste of money. Build them only to decommission them.
You have to remember that overcosts are to be expected when you take into account the "payments" that must be made to the Biden Crime Family!
@@czar6127that was the earlier variants, those are all being retired because modifications would be to expensive (cheaper to buy a Connie). This version has none of those flaws.
How to combat with 1000-2000- ton ships against other 6000- ton destroyers?
You don't
Selled da GOOD CUREZXS OL OVER DA GUNDAM BEAUTY WEW EQUAL LEVEL
WOW
Looks like a corvette class of ship
I love you america
It's not an independence variant. It's an updated freedom class.
When will literal ships be added to the US Coast Guard?
Coast Guard literally has literal ships already. 😂
@@joelobryan1212 I did not know that.
I thought the Navy was not too keen on these LCS ships.
PENSAR QUÉ CON UN SOLO MISIL , LO MANDAN AL FONDO DEL MAR...
Is this the updated version of the ship that flipped over and sank when you turned it too sharply?
nope never flipped over, that happened over in europe somewhere
GOD bless!
I though fast litoral ship to be retitre soon?
Beautiful ship I just hope it's repaired to fight and I hope it has a lot of advanced weapons and capability and technology , to fight for our freedom and I democracy and our rights as of American to voice the American people .. she'll fight to the last drop of blood for our freedom and democracy....
God bless America and the United States of this great nation , 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤🙏🙏✌️✌️💪💪💪💪💪👋👋
It is going to be a minesweeper.
The LCS designs were a failure. Most are being prematurely retired and will be replaced with Constitution Class frigates
Soon to be a sub !
Aren't these getting decommed early due to gearbox issues??
That's the least of it.
If you refer to the Korean War then you should include Vietnam among other conflicts.
That is a LCS LEMON SHIP so CALLED by US Congress and subject for SCRAP, because of technical problem or failure like a Zumwalt class destroyer is also Failed project and canceled by US Congress
Not true. Investigate some please. Note that almost all interent search returns on the problem with the two classes are 2 years old. Dig down and find out they have been fixed. No unplanned spead restrictions now and no Independence class hull cracking.
LCS should be part of the coast guard
A pentagon boondoggle. I wonder who got the kickbacks?
The Cooperstown is a Freedom class not Independence class.
You would think they would do their homework before putting out a VIDEO! Buy the way I HOPE THEY FIXED THE PROPULSION SYSTEM BEFORE LAUNCHING!
Is this an enlistment ad ? Sounds it.
They just decommissioned a few - does this new one work!
How about building one about 25% smaller and give to the Coast Guard - we're going to need them when the Chinese are sailing the Gulf of Mexico.
where is the firing power?, I only see electronics that can be hack or jam
Is that one of those Clitoral ships? Named “Little Man in the Boat”?
In the future, hopefully they can make a ship. that can go underwater like a submarine or fly like an airplane or go in space. have a laserbeam like lightning. they can shoot down airplanes and destroy ships or rockets.
Go Navy…Retired Jan/2000
How much damage can this thing soak up?
Nice, but aren’t these ships already considered useless?
Are there still plans to get rid of these ships? I had read there are issues with propulsion and cracks in hull?
Fixed both problems and have settled on three mission packages.
After they decommission her later this year, save up a few of those Freedom LCS and donate them to Ukraine instead of sending them to the breakers. They'd be really useful in the Black Sea.
Not true.
@@brianboye8025 ...What"? ... that they'd be useful in the Black Sea against Russians Krzniflot museum pieces?
2 months later us navy decommissioned new ship!
Meanwhile in the time it took to build this, China probably built about 30 or 40 new navy ships. The USA needs to re-up its domestic shipbuilding capacity (both naval and merchant to be honest) which has whithered on the vine over the past few decades, while China has surged ahead.
Where's the rest of the combat? I see one gun! Lol. I'm a former corpsman, fond of battleships.
The Littoral ship designs, along with their originally intended purpose have been deemed a failure, with many already being de-commissioned. No disrespect to the gallant people who serve on them, they always have my support. Building more just begs the question - why?
Money was already paid and hulls were already laid. Better to keep the dockyards working than to cancel the project. Even being a failure the hulls have provided a fair bit of knowledge for future ships.
@@timbrwolf1121 True enough, and the knowledge of what not to do in the future is quite valuable. Congress has often appropriated money for a ship. Watched the keel get laid, and in some cases the hull and decking built, and then cancelled them.
GREAT USA!!!!
Seguro que dentro de unos meses tendrá averías o desperfectos ,,,

40 knots !
It should’ve been given to the Coast Guard.
Is Pete Rose allowed on?
I'd almost bet on it. 😂
@@cokiea57 I see what you did there lol

LCSs are small disposable war ship. It is not meant for repair.
isn't that a corvette?
Nevermind the Invasion from Mexico...Go play with your New Toy
Those Ships come broken....
Sana one journalist would suggest to Teodoro such idea of kind of recognizing Taiwan.
Congrats USN.! But every ship the Navy commissioned the Chinese will do the same 5x more.
Cool ours will be 5 times better so you will need those numbers
Where is the weapons? Only one cannon and not missel launchers.
Funny that this ship represents a dead end with and and it's going to be replaced by the Constitution class frigate which is in service with the French and Italian navy.
With all due respect ...heard that the freedom class is unreliable & that the navy department worried because something is wrong with section of its gear box & that was founded to be very costly to repaired , now if succeded to repaired it then i don't know , if had been all right & decent & if its recorded been cleared i don't know although must been reported that the navy department didn't wanted them & trying to replaced them sometime ago means too much to been desired !!!
That's very fast
Soon to be decommissioned along with the rest of the Freedom class LCSs...
