Buffalo, New York 14202 Alternate location in the event of rain – inside Red Exhibit Building across from Naval Park Gift Shop April 22, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 22, 2016 CONTACT Daniel Mecca | [email protected] (o) 716-633.1218 ext. 200 (mobile) 716.206.4413 BUFFALO, NY – She weighs in at just over 3,400 tons, is 389 feet long, 57.5 feet wide, can move at speeds in excess of 40 knots… and she’ll be at Canalside in Buffalo sometime in the spring of 2017. The USS Little Rock LCS 9, one of the newest US Navy ships, will make her way to Buffalo for an official Commissioning Ceremony – an event that marks the time when a new ship officially enters the US Navy fleet. LCS 9 and her crew are expected to be in Buffalo for a week-long commissioning celebration culminating with the official Commissioning Ceremony and gala. A local Commissioning Committee, led by Maurice L. Naylon III, was established in November 2015 as a special committee under the Buffalo Renaissance Foundation, Inc. – a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. The USS Little Rock LCS 9 Commissioning Committee is a non-federal entity and not part of the Department of Defense or Department of the Navy. The Committee is an all-volunteer effort responsible for the oversight and organization of activities in support of the Commissioning Ceremony. In addition to organizing, managing, funding and producing the activities and events for the Commissioning week, the Committee is charged with raising money to fund a number of scholarships and initiatives. Net proceeds will benefit scholarships for students in our community as well as provide financial support for the decommissioned USS Little Rock on permanent display at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval and Military Park at Canalside. “The mission of our committee is to pull-together a first class event – something fitting of the historical significance of this commissioning.” commented Naylon. “We also have the responsibility of raising money to fund initiatives that will honor and preserve the legacy of both ships that carry the name USS Little Rock.” “While Buffalo has the privilege of hosting this great ship, her crew and her officers, we tip our hat to the great people of Little Rock Arkansas who are supporting this event and will share in the pride we feel in the commissioning of the new USS Little Rock LCS 9. The event is historic for LCS 9, her crew, the Navy and all of Buffalo and Western New York as this will be the first time in the 240-year US Navy history, that a new ship is commissioned alongside her namesake. The original USS Little Rock, was in service from August 27, 1944 until her decommissioning in November 1976. It is the only remaining Cleveland class ships and is now on permanent display at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park at Canalside. April 25, 2016 In August 2015, Buffalo NY was selected as the host city for the Commissioning of the new USS Little Rock (LCS 9). The new USS Little Rock (LCS 9) is a littoral combat ship. The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program is a bold departure from traditional Navy shipbuilding programs based on its use of innovative acquisition, construction, manning, training and operational concepts. These lighter, faster and technologically advanced warships are designed to operate in close to shore environments.

Little Rock (CL 92) was laid down by Cramp Shipbuilding Co., Philadelphia, PA on 06 March 1943; launched on 27 August 1944 sponsored by Mrs. Sam Wassell; and commissioned 17 June 1945 with Capt. William E. Miller in command. Five additional Commanding Officers would command the Little Rock during her service as CL 92. After shakedown off Cuba and training along the Atlantic coast, Little Rock departed Newport, RI, 21 October for South America. Following a five month cruise to many Latin American countries the cruiser returned to Norfolk VA on 23 March 1946. For the next two months she performed exercises off the east coast and in the Caribbean, before sailing for Europe on 04 June 1946. After operating with the 6th Fleet throughout the summer the Little Rock returned to Norfolk on 27 September 1946. From September 1946 to 1949, the cruiser performed east coast exercises, operated in the Caribbean on training maneuvers, and sailed to the Mediterranean during 1947 and 1948. Little Rock was decommissioned 24 June 1949 and joined the Atlantic Reserve Fleet at New York. To see a list of places the ship and crew of CL 92 visited, go to the "Places visited by the U.S.S. Little Rock ..." page. The U.S.S. Little Rock was later removed from its mothballed status in the Reserve Fleet, reclassified as CLG 4, and then extensively retro-fitted before being put back into service as a guided missile cruiser. Go to the CLG 4 History page for more information. CLG 4 / CG 4 On January 13, 1957, the U.S.S. Little Rock arrived at the New York Shipbuilding Corp. in Camden, NJ for conversion to a guided missile cruiser. Her hull designation was changed from CL-92 to CLG-4 on May 23, 1957. Following conversion, the Little Rock arrived at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on May 6, 1960 and was commissioned on June 3, 1960. Senator J. William Fulbright (D-AR), gave the principal address to a crowd of more than 2,000 people. Little Rock was placed into commission by Rear Admiral Charles H. Lyman, Commandant of the Fourth Naval District, and Captain J.O. Phillips, Jr. assumed command. The Little Rock, now "converted" to a missile cruiser had had all her guns removed except for a triple 6" and a double 5" mount, both forward. The conversion also included adding spacious "flag" accommodations which would provide for several admirals during Little Rock's second life. During the next sixteen years, under the command of no less than fourteen skippers, the Little Rock would distinguish herself as a peacetime naval vessel. April 22, 2016 Departing Philadelphia 9 February 1961, Little Rock sailed for her first European cruise in her new role.

    Another example of a mission ready ship because of a U.S. Navy Port Engineer USS Little Rock (LCS 9) Arrives in Mayport, Florida Story Number: NNS180412-16Release Date: 4/12/2018 2:56:00 PM By Ensign Samantha Robbins, USS Little Rock Public Affairs MAYPORT, Fla. (NNS) -- The Freedom-variant littoral combat ship USS Little Rock (LCS 9) arrived to its homeport here this morning for the first time since it was commissioned. The crew lined the rails in their dress blues as the crowd of friends, families, and shipmates greeted the ship with flowers, signs and waving American flags. The ship made a memorable entrance, blasting the song "Back in Black" after mooring. The ship also played this song when pulling into Buffalo, New York, for commissioning, as a tribute to the ship's namesake, USS Little Rock (CL-92), and to ring in their motto "Back With a Vengeance." "Little Rock is a fast, lethal ship ready to go out and fulfill her m ission," said Cmdr. Todd Peters, the ship's commanding officer. "The crew worked relentlessly to bring her home and make their way 'Back With a Vengeance.' We are ready to make final preparations to deploy and carry our motto into history." Today's homecoming completes a three-and-a-half month journey from Marinette, Wisconsin, where the ship was built. The ship was commissioned in Buffalo, Dec. 16, and then transited the Saint Lawrence Seaway, navigating through 15 locks, until they reached Montreal, Canada. There, they paused their journey because of historical weather conditions and ice.

    Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress

    Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress September 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL32665 Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The current and planned size and composition of the Navy, the annual rate of Navy ship procurement, the prospective affordability of the Navy’s shipbuilding plans, and the capacity of the U.S. shipbuilding industry to execute the Navy’s shipbuilding plans have been oversight matters for the congressional defense committees for many years. In December 2016, the Navy released a force-structure goal that calls for achieving and maintaining a fleet of 355 ships of certain types and numbers. The 355-ship goal was made U.S. policy by Section 1025 of the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 2810/P.L. 115- 91 of December 12, 2017). The Navy and the Department of Defense (DOD) have been working since 2019 to develop a successor for the 355-ship force-level goal. The new goal is expected to introduce a new, more distributed fleet architecture featuring a smaller proportion of larger ships, a larger proportion of smaller ships, and a new third tier of large unmanned vehicles (UVs). On June 17, 2021, the Navy released a long-range Navy shipbuilding document that presents the Biden Administration’s emerging successor to the 355-ship force-level goal. The document calls for a Navy with a more distributed fleet architecture, including 321 to 372 manned ships and 77 to 140 large UVs. A September 2021 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report estimates that the fleet envisioned in the document would cost an average of between $25.3 billion and $32.7 billion per year in constant FY2021 dollars to procure.
