USS Independence (LCS-2) is a modern American ship designed to operate in coastal - otherwise littoral waters. The keel of this vessel was laid in June 2006, the ship was launched two years later, and she entered service with the US Navy in January 2010. The length of the ship is 127 meters, with a maximum width of 31.6 meters! Full displacement reaches 3,100 tons, and the maximum speed is around 44-47 knots.

USS Independence (LCS-2) is the first ship in the class of ships of the same name. The ship of this type, like the Freedom type units, was created as a peculiar aftermath of the US accession to the so-called the war on terror after September 11, 2001 and the terrorist attack on USS Cole in October 2000. Independence-class ships were created as ships with the highest possible maximum speed and high maneuverability, which are to operate in coastal waters. Setting these criteria as the superior ship manufacturer (General Dynamics concern) decided to use a rare trimaran system, i.e. a unit with three rigidly connected hulls. However, this is a controversial solution if we take into account the increased hydrodynamic resistances. On the other hand, the very large width allowed to create a spacious landing site for helicopters and other aircraft, as well as to have a hold in the stern part that allows the operation of smaller vessels. Undoubtedly, the USS Independence (LCS-2) is a highly avant-garde ship with some unusual and interesting solutions. At the same time, however, it is criticized for the high cost of the program, far exceeding the original assumptions.
