The 684-foot longship’s main mission is to transport and deploy combat and support elements of Marine expeditionary units, the US Navy said.

It will carry approximately 720 troops and can deploy helicopters and other aircraft from its massive deck.

Two other ships – the Arlington and Somerset – are being built in honour of the victims of the attacks on the Pentagon and United Flight 93 and are also incorporating materials salvaged from those sites.
