Navy taps Bollinger, Marinette for new Landing Ship Medium in revamped program
TL;DR Summary
The Navy will have Bollinger Shipyards and Fincantieri Marinette Marine build the Marine Corps’ Landing Ship Medium (LSM) under a program overseen by a Vessel Construction Manager. Bollinger will support long-lead procurement and lead-ship design; Marinette will construct four LSMs, with the VCM deciding how the remaining three are awarded. The program shifts to a Dutch LST-100 design after canceling the Constellation-class frigate, aiming to accelerate production and support the Marine Corps’ island-hopping strategy in the Pacific.
