Medium Landing Ship
Abstract
The Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) will be referred to as the Medium Landing Ship (LSM) going forward to align with the mission and distinguish between traditional amphibious ships. LSM is a medium-sized landing ship that enables distributed maneuver and logistics such as Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO), Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE), and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) in support of the newly established Marine Littoral Regiment (MLR). It is designed to fill the gap in capability between the Navy's large, multipurpose amphibious warfare class ships and smaller landing vessels. This ship will deploy tailored logistics, select power projection and strike capabilities.
