USS Independence LCS-2

The interior volume and payload is greater than some destroyers and is sufficient to serve as a high-speed transport and maneuver platform. The mission bay is 15,200 square feet (1,410 m2), and takes up most the deck below the hangar and flight deck.
In addition to cargo or container-sized mission modules, the bay can carry four lanes multiple Strykers, armored Humvees, and their associated troops. An elevator allows air transport packages the size a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) shipping container that can be moved into the mission bay while at sea. A side access ramp allows for vehicle roll-on/roll-f loading to a dock and allows the ship to transport the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle.
The habitability area is located under the bridge where bunks for ships personnel are situated. The helm is controlled by joysticks instead traditional steering wheels.
The Independence also has an integrated LOS Mast, Sea Giraffe 3D Radar and SeaStar Safire FLIR. Side and forward surfaces are angled for reduced radar prile. In addition, H-60 series helicopters provide airlift, rescue, anti-submarine, radar picket and anti-ship capabilities with torpedoes and missiles.
