062918-N-VV532-001 PACIFIC OCEAN (June 29, 2018) - USS Montgomery (LCS 8) conducts a live-fire exercise with the ship's ALEX Decoy Launching System. The exercise was part of Combat Systems Ship Qualifications Trials (CSSQT) during which the crew demonstrates complete operability of the ship's entire combat systems suite. LCS is a high-speed, agile, shallow draft, mission-focused surface combatant designed for operations in the littoral environment, yet fully capable of open ocean operations. As part of the surface fleet, LCS has the ability to counter and outpace evolving threats independently or within a network of surface combatants.
