USS Marinette (LCS-25) will be a Freedom-class littoral combat ship of the United States Navy.[1][2][3][4] According to the Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, LCS-25 will be the first ship in naval service named after Marinette, Wisconsin.[2] This claim overlooks the Navy's Nantick-class large harbor tug Marinette YTB-791, also named after Marinette, Wisconsin.
Marinette Marine was awarded the contract to build the ship on 31 March 2016.[1]
